um, ahem....did youse guys realize that Scooby ATs have 4.44 rear diffs?
hint hint...switch out the final drive R&P in your Brighton gearbox (or better yet, swap the R&P in an RS or Forester 5MT box w/closer ratios) , and presto, you gots a rally box with super short gears that really wake up the car. it'll be buzzy on the highway, but hey we're talking project car here. you can source the shorter R&P gears at rallispec.com
to get stock viscous LSD in 4.44 ratio, just find yourself a wrecked Forester S/Leggy Ltd w/automatic.

si, senor shorty
#1 ideal scrapyard setup is: forester or RS 5MT (both have same ratios 1-5) w/swapped 4.44 R&P, connexted to scavenged 4.44 rear VLSD from high-end Scooby auto
#2 setup is RS/Foresta stock 5MT, connexticated to stock 4.11 VSLD scavenged off RS or Forester/Leg GT/OB Ltd 5-spd. This one is a straight bolt-in w/o costly. time-consuming, mechanically exacting surgery to gearbox internals.
#3 setup is to stick a stock WRX VLSD into the Brighton and retain stock box w/3.9 ratio. this is simplest option, tho you probly will have to switch R axles to fit Rex diff.

well look to the vendors and see if you can work a deal for some aftermarket LSD diffs. and if you do that, do the front too!
