Kids today, bloody impatient buggers aren't they :-)

Yes its been done, I read a thread about it a while ago. An absolute pig of a job I believe.

thanks for reply matey.stunning blob btw.dash could be worth it if there was also some other goodies to go in the classic.

like sti 8 engine with arp studs 1.7/8bar app 440bhp gt30 hybrid turbo 650s,sti 8 ecu mafless,a/l,l/c switchable maps.
6speed box,twin plate clutch
kw coilovers.

cheers matey.

Havent you got a blobeye??

wrx0211

my car sti v5 555 ra.

wrx0211

part off the dash bar has to be cut(NOT CUT IN HALF JUST TRIMMED) in the centre to accommodate the heater matrix.

braveheart sti who is a good friend of mine is carrying out a we project for me,im only assisting when possible.dash is not complete yet as per photo but it appears to be coming together nicely

wrx0211

my blobeye is the doner car as it had a we mishap.or should i say i had a we mishap while driving it.

looks like a lot of hard work, will the centre console fit ok ??

You mean STI RA V5 Limited.

wrx0211

im sure big john will make it fit,its been done many times in the good old u.s of a.

the main reason for going this route was to retain the sti ecu as opposed to goin aftermarket,plan so far is to fit newage sti 8 wiring loom,(already fitted now)sti 8 engine,sti 6 speed box with twin plate clutch,kw coilovers,6 pot brakes,leather sl heated seats and dash(partly fitted)
most of these parts will be from my blob.
