is the whining from the lower low range gears?

Tyres were down to 15 psi....
Low 2nd pretty much all the time...
The Low i got from Scorpion Subaru.... supposed to be about a 33% reduction... sounds sweet when it whines.
As far as I know its got an LSD up rear...
It was sweet sweet fun just belting around that bowl... could'nt help myself
We went out the back into the Pines a bit and just as I got back into the bowl and about to leave, I got out to take a pee and found the front right flat... I was always thinking there'd be crap floatin around in there...
That was my first sand drive so pretty keen to head a bit north now

Went swimming..... found a deep hole in the middle of a crossing just big enough to swallow the left side.... took on a lot of water and soaked the ECU.... $1500 later.... ECU+Imob+Key package and a wheel bearing and he's good as new. Maybe even better
I'd like some opinions on whether I've got and LSD in the rear because Al told me I did now.... I thought it would do better putting a heap of drive to the left wheel once that right wheel started spinnin like a mofo...

about the LSD.
i never thought you did at Jarrahdale. then in the first vid around 1:37 i think there is noticeably more wheel spin on the lifted wheel, so i was presuming you didnt. although LSD's are very decieving yes as there nothing like a welded.
also in that puddle...so much drive to the raised wheels (also try turning the steering when your stuck)
Yes you very well could have an LSD basically.

even though it was sending some power to the left wheel in the puddle, lsd's dont alys send it all. i reckon u do have an lsd in there.
where abouts was that outing? looks challenging, although my car doesnt like swimming either.

If it's an LSD it would have likely been changed then, cause I don't think Foresters come with them as standard.

This car has had a transplant. It got a 2.5 from an '03 Forester with gearbox and as far as I know it got the rear diff from the same car, which I was told by Al from AM Auto I think is a pretty decent guy, its an LSD. I cant be sure but am willing to take his word for it.......
