Well I was bored last Saturday so I swapped out my stock 02' WRX 5MT for a STI Ver.6 RA 5MT. It has the DCCD, plated front diff, 4:44 final drive and the matching plated LSD rear diff.

Heres the low down on my car as it sits in winter trim:

2002 WRX wagon
Tein Wagon coil-overs
Ver. 7 STI RA-C engine with AVCS operational
TD04 turbo
Gruppe-S up-pipe
Stock Turbo back
Short ram intake
Custom fuel rail kit
Samco I/C hoses

Ummm, well first I can say is there goes my gas milage. :eek:

After getting used to the close ratios and the 65% rear torque bias and being at 3500rpms @ 65mph it's a lot of fun. :)

The car goes through the gears so fast, it's like driving the 6MT witout 6th gear.

The pull in 5th is incredible 60-100 in a few seconds without down shifting.

If you are an avid road racer or autocrosser this is the trans for you.

Maximum Speed per Gear: (with 8200rpm redline)
1st: 42.9 mph
2nd: 64.1 mph
3rd: 85.5 mph
4th: 114.8 mph
5th: 160.2 mph

I can't wait to get the DCCD hooked up and get on the track this year. :D

Awesome man!!! Great to see that someone really likes this trans... I had the opportunity to drive my dads last time I was in Australia... Awesome car!!! The tranny operated just beautifully compaired to the USDM WRX tranny... I almost wish that I had that tranny in my SVX.... But then I do alot of Highway driving... Already get "Not so great gas mileage" outta my big EG33, But I would love to have that Acceleration in my car though... And the diffence in which the two tranny's shift is Sweet!!! :D:D:D

Dude, do you have any pics of this tranny and your car?? I'd love to see it!! My friend (RedGroceryGetter) Aaron wrecked his just before he got stationed in Japan... He would kill to have your car... He had a Red Wagon just like yours before it was totaled...

you can find some pics of my car on my web site:
