05 interior swap - Quick q about handbrake

27 February 2015 - 08:55 AM

Hey all,

I have an 04 wrx and i'm very interested in doing the swap one day to the 05 interior, mainly for the cup holders haha.

 

I have read a few guides now and it appears in one of them that I needed to shorten the handbrake cable?

The other mention was that the 05 handbrake only attaches with 2 bolts instead of 3?

 

Just from personal experience (I trust people on subyclub as you've all been so nice to me :)) was the overall converison quite easy and "to OEM spec" in terms of not having to cut and modify to make things function?

 

Thanks again :)


My 04 WRX - A Mild Street Build

25 February 2015 - 01:24 PM

Hey All,
 
Just thought 'd post up some details of my 04 Model Subaru WRX. Its been a favourite car since they came out but never actually thought about owning one. 
 
I was lucky to have found one that came up in my price range, it was well taken care of and ticked all the right boxes for me.
 
There is definitely room for personalisation/improvement from the excellent base though. 
 
Current Features/Mods:
- 3" Turbo Back Exhaust
- Dyno Tuned by Gotitrex - got 170kw atw (great result)
- Running 16.5psi
- 05 Centre Console Conversion
Planned Mods:
The plannned mods incorporates a balance of some personalisation characteristics (wheels and small interior customisations) and performance (suspension mainly)
 
- 17-18" wheels with a bit more poke, don't want to have to roll the guards (not keen on getting them done)
- Aftermarket Rear Sway Bar
- Aftermarket Rear Sway Bar Heavy Duty End Links
- Aftermarket Rear Sway Bar Heavy Duty Mounts
- Aftermarket Front Sway Bar
- Aftermarket Front Sway Bar End Links
- STI Alloy Gear Stick Surround - Found
- Carbon Fibre Engine Cover - Found
- Front STI Strut Brace
If you may know of any bits in my "planned mods" section for sale you would be helping me out a lot. I'd love to find them second hand to save a bit of money.
 
I only have one photo of it at the moment but here it is:
