Check if your current rear diff matches the ra one, if not you gotta use the ra one.
Are you transplanting the dash cluster with the dccd display?
Not sure if you need an aftermarket dccd controller or can transfer the old wiring.

This is the only one I can come up with.
Google translate makes quite a mess, but you can see roughly how the wires are run.
You'll need to find the right connectors though, or cut of all plugs ans fit your own connectors/solder/crimp directly without connectors.

Hi thanks for that,
I've been searching the web for help and it's been a minefield !!!
I carnt work out if the dccd loom is part of the main body loom or not ?
From what some people have said is that it's a separate loom on v1-v2-v3 cars and integrated in to the main looms on the newer v4-v5-v6 cars
But there are so many different answers when googled
I have a few questions I hope some one could answer
Are the looms separate looms
If the loom is separate on the early ones will it work with a v5 instrument panel
We're can I get one of these looms

Thanks

When I did my 98 wrx dccd conversion I bought a controller from www.dccdpro.com which is way better than the oe manual controller.

Hi both look good and a better way than making up a loom, but got to try and keep my costs down so the only one I could afford is the manual one at $220, you don't know where I could get hold of a second hand auto one ?.
Also can you wire in the original instrument panel with one of these

I've already done this conversion on my uk 1999 turbo, I've used a version 4 dccd box, a R160 4.444 rear diff, I bought a sti ra version 6 loom and dccd controller, version 5 dccd clocks and thumb wheel and cut the dccd bit out of the ra loom to wire into my uk loom so that the dccd lights would work on the clocks

To make the dccd lights work on a version 5/6 you need the wiring and controller from a version 5/6 car cos the earlier controllers won't work with the later dccd clocks
