Buttoning up STI swap and ran into problems HELP!

JaMicReitz · 08-14-2013, 02:49 PM

Hello fellow nasioc members! I am finishing up my 06 sti six speed swap into 03 wrx and found out that my ebrake cable is to short.

My setup:
06 sti trans
06 sti rear hubs
06 sti rear brembos
06 sti axles
06 sti ebrake cables from hub to interior. The part where they turn into one cable is all 03 wrx

My question is, would I need 06 sti hand brake? or the part where the sti hand brake cables turn into 1 cable? my interior is all stock 03 wrx. THanks in advance

I do not have personal experience with this but I'm pretty sure the MY06 STi hand brake is mounted on the left side of the center console vs the right side like the MY03 WRX I have seem pictures and I believe I read something about it.

Yes you need the hand brake and the entire mounting assembly for it as well as the center console if I'm correct for the right fitment into the console. I actually just done done disassembling my 06 sti today. I have an 02 mbp bugeye now awaiting a full mind and body enhancement.

What did you do with the two dccd wires? I’m trying to figure out where I’m supposed to hardwire them into my wrx engine harness?
