Are there different versions of the later centre console or just the one type so are the later blobs and hawks have the same ?

I have a earlier set up in my 03 and was hopping to freshen things up by using a newer centre console the one with the 3 big buttons apose to the 3 large twist dials I currently have..

I was then looking into changing the bulbs to red to keep everything matching as well. but I'm a little unsure what will need to be changed now, I thought all I would need is the stereo / heater surround and controls the top heater vents and the lower section that would go round the gear stick

If any one has any decent pics they can put up of there later centre console so I can see or if you no what's required could u let me no

I will pop up a pic of my current set up below..

Thanks

 

 

And yes I no the stereo needs to go, one step at a time though

 

I converted my early newage Spec C to the later type of centre console, it's not as easy as you'd hope because of the different type of AC / heater controls, search under my threads started to find the thread.

I'd do it myself but using a mobile to do it isn't very easy.

 

Hi mate.


The later blobs and Hawks were all the same style as you suggest. The later bits will fit into your earlier car too as I've also seen this done various times as an upgrade/refresh.


I forgot to mention that my gear surround I have that matches the centre console Markis84 has is for a widetrack model. Which will fit your car just fine, but the only reason I purchased it from him was for the aluminium gear surround trim piece (which is now fitted to my car). So it is without that section now and without the leather gear gaitor too.

Above is the link required, you will require a different type of heater control panel fascia as it is not the same as the standard WRX or STi, I think I may have listed the part number for it in the link above.


I may be able to offer further help if you need it.

 

Markis84 currently has that heater control panel for sale and the OP is already talking to him.


You will also need the side trim pieces and the black piece that mounts up to the handbrake section.

 

I'm not sure how much hassle it will be but the newer centre console is much better.

 

This is the end result of the work on my car.

 

Any excuse for a pic

Mattybr5 got full setup @ £150 you get everything you need mate

 

Hi Zany... that is the set up I would like looks much smoother than the earlier version.. but ... the issue been the bottom reciculation slider on my I don't think it's viable to make it work with a later centre console I would have to do something like cannon fodder has done

 

I was sort of hoping to go with a complete upgrade, I see yours still incorporates the original dials which I was sort of hopeing to use the new set up such as zany has above but as been stated I think the recirculate slider is the main issue in not been able to do it

 

You definitely won't be able to do what you're planning, unfortunately the different AC controls aren't compatible and will not work without a LOT of wholesale modifications to the wiring and HVAC systems.

I know as I tried myself and couldn't make it work due to the HVAC system being totally different.

 

Please ignore. I was writing this while Cannon was writing his post.

 

So really you need widetrack spec c console to upgrade
I'll keep my eyes open bro

 

Thanks for that info cannon fodder, guess that rules that out then, I really like look the of the updated centre console but think it's just gonna be way to much work as you said, although yours dose look good

 

Well if it incorporates the recirculation slider that would be perfect but I imagine there like hens teeth

Wonder if anyone has that set up on here some pics would be great

 

Ooooh I've got one!!!

 

That be what I neeed .... have you got 2 scoobs or is that your old set up lol

 

Think you need these buddy.

Then if you want to upgrade to the widetrack alloy gear surround trim later on my section will replace the lower piece.

 

No bro that's for you to buy
off a spec c widetrack someone chopped up last year

Just sourced it for you pal going picking up 2moz if we strike a deal how much you paying me for it??

 

Zany I will need the rear section to this also so the part that goes round the hand brake with cubby box as looking at the pictures the will be different to mine if u see what I mean..

So where the join is would he have this also

 

OBVIOUSLY BRO I wouldn't give you half a set!!

 

I thought u was just getting the stereo surround and the gear surround, I need the whole thing as you no, I will drop you a pm

 

 

I put a complete Hawkeye interior in my early Blob JDM. The only modding was to the centre console to accomdate the folding/adjust mirror switches.

ZANY where did you get your silver/chrome spec c heater ***** from and dare I ask how much where they?

 

Got them off harry007 on here at a bargain price of £55 last year
very hard to source indeed but available from Japanparts I think
the subaru gods are always showering there gifts on me as I am such a devoted enthusiast and always try my best to help anyone if I can

I don't think spec C's even have these ***** the ra's do and the s203/4 as far as I'm aware

 

Cheers bud just have to keep my eye out for some
