Default Cruise control for GC8

Hello all
Was cruise control an option for the 1998 onwards model?
Can it be retro fitted?
cheers

I opened a thread about this years ago bud. No never seen them fitted, unless you live in USA might have had as option.

Some foresters had it, and I looked into swapping the setup over, but soon found out it wasn't an easy task. And gave up.

Cruise control was a factory fit option on G10 models but not sure whether it was ever specced for UK bound cars and is now NLA.


Wiring for MY97

No part number for the kit Doh? Will contact Subaru if so. Saying that wouldn't fit it to my Impreza now.

I toyed with the idea some years back after fitting folding mirrors and a rear wash-wipe to my UK car.
Investigations both on here and via a friendly dealer revealed there are pitfalls.
Since the system isn't drive-by-wire it depends on vacuum, and was temperamental and difficult to set up.
I passed on the idea.

There is a wired one which goes on to the second groove on the throttle body. Have one here had toyed with ideas for antilag but went the proper way in the end.

I wondered what the second accelerator cable pull was for

I'm doing a electric folding mirror conversion on mine. All the wiring seems to be in place. How was the rear wiper conversion?

It is apart from whatever controls go in the cabin as I had no call for them.
