Geez Jono, you're quick mate - its only been there for the best part of this year!!!

Also mr T'subaru - are you going to be swapping out the dash centre for a manual one? I know those centre panels are interchangeable, the wiring *could* be a different issue...

Cheers

blue snow over your way at the moment? better than yellow I suppose :)

Those tape id tags look like they will last longer than the genuine part number labels.

As long as they don't mind the steering wheel on the "right" side of the car :p

Finally were getting some decent weather here, so today I installed a WRX pedal box in my L series wagon. Long story short my wagon was a 4eat and I installed an RX pedal box for an ej na trans to back an ej20g I purchased. Some time later I decided I wanted a turbo trans behind the "G" so I bought the drive train from a jdm '96 wrx v limited.
I had to have a wrx pedal box to install the clutch master cyl in my lhd car

I made a template for laying out the holes for the m/cyl and pedal box mounts
Image
I piloted the holes in the firewall and drilled about a 35mm hole for the m/cly
Image
The wrx acc pedal is seperate from the pedal box, but when compared to the L series is alot longer and doesnt have the same travel as the stock linkage.
Image



So I sectioned the original 4eat pedal box and installed the L series acc pedal and linkage to hook up to the ej acc cable already installed.
Image
And the m/cyl installed.



Image
And the L series portion of the pedal box installed on top of the wrx pedal box
