Question

Car is a MY94 WRX Wagon.
Just wondering if a UK spec instrument cluster, eh; Speedo, Rev counter, fuel gauge, etc.. will fit into a Jap spec car of same era.

I've taken mine out and can't see a real problem with fitting a UK one, but has anyone done this.

Question

I thought that the uk speedo is electronic and the Jap spec is cable driven.

Not to sure though.

As far as I am aware the early cars, UK or WRX were calbe drive, think the change came with the face lift (96/97), though I could be wrong!

Markus -

I've a MY94 STI 1 Wagon, and the speedo is cable driven. Not sure about the later cars, UK or Jap, but good luck with the swap, let me know how it goes as I'm interested in doing this myself.
