Yeah, have never owned a turbo EJ (mainly because I missed buying them new, and used ones are concerning for abuse) but the OB/Legacy was the only limited slip outside of WRXs. It’s weird, in that the LS part is “sealed for life” and that fluid cannot be replaced; the fluid you can change only lubricates the ring gear. I’ve historically only ever used Motul Gear 300 in every single Subie I’ve ever serviced or owned, but that was before I found HPL. Now it’s 75W90 CC, and will likely be lifetime fill on anything I put it in these days.07 OBXT manual 5-sp. stock engine, but modded suspension. i really want a more “adult” car, but don’t know what would keep the grin, while maybe being a more relaxed long-distance cruiser…oh, and affordable.
What suspension mods? I put a set of the 2” King lift springs from Primitive Racing on my 07 Impreza, but in my 05 OB I had done all of the control arm & sway arm bushings with Whiteline, along with Whiteline sway bars and end links, but I sold it last year to my buddy as a work car. I’m about this close to putting a 2” strut lift on the Impreza, but that will likely take subframe & rear control arm spacers as well to do it right. It also honestly needs every suspension bushing replaced (now 17 years and 188k miles) but that will likely be a project with my son in a year or so.
Any pics of your OBXT? I’ve always loved the sleeper aspect of the 05-09 Legacy/OB, especially the Legacy GT wagon.
