What am I missing? Aren't most pre-2006 STi R180 rears 3.90?

Source - Rallispec

I mean, I know the math is complicated, but 1.0:1 transfer ratio times 3.90 final drive is.. uh.. carry pi.. 3.90?

*pre-2006. Mine is a 2006.

Math is a tool. Math is your friend. Math is the happy little minion living only to do your bidding.

Curious. Why would you want LSD only in the rear of an AWD vehicle?

Drift kids.

Since the skid pad and "autocross" pad are right next to each other, all day long all you hear is skreeeeeeech pssh skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech. Having been in a couple wrecks in my lifetime, it was definitely wearing on my anxiety.

While this is only tangentially related and could easily be considered a threadjack, I'm old and sort of emotionally tone-deaf so....

No wonder my Fozchacho feels so edgy - the trans gearing and final drive are nutty!
Also, these specs show the US Forester XT as having the same ratios from 2004-2008 while I thought there were differences. Humph.

I wonder how much more mellow a 6-speed swap is going to make it feel.

3.454 / 1.947 / 1.366 / 0.972 / 0.738 / 4.444FD - '04-'08 Forester 2.5XT
3.636 / 2.235 / 1.521 / 1.137 / 0.891 / 0.707 / 3.900FD - JDM Forester STI
3.636 / 2.375 / 1.761 / 1.346 / 1.061 / 0.842 / 3.900FD JDM STI
3.636 / 2.375 / 1.761 / 1.346 / 0.971 / 0.756 / 3.900FD - USDM 2004-2006 Impreza WRX STi
3.636 / 2.235 / 1.521 / 1.137 / 0.971 / 0.756 / 3.900FD - USDM 2007-current Impreza WRX STi
