ver 6 dash into ver 2 gf8

[dillon.96.gf8.]

Hey guys.  Just wondering is it possible to fit a white faced ver 6 sti dash display into my ver 2 rex wagon. ? N if so how hard is it to do?

My v3 has been swapped to v4 which is pretty much the same swap just a bit easier as a lot of the loom is similar regarding the ecu. I didnt do it but the whole dash was swapped out and looks like the loom was cut and pasted across.

version 2 is cable, so that'd be a relatively hard-basket kind of job.
Easiest- option    #1: Buy a v5/6 STi- they have the dash factory.
less easy-option #2: Entire loom, ecu engine swap.(And speed sender in gearbox swap)

cheapest option #3: Open up your dash, open the cluster, paint the back of it white.

V3 is too. V4 is same as 5/6.

Idk how far you want to go with this but It is possible to convert to electric speedo by getting a V4 speed sensor (phase 1 gearbox) and sticking it in your gearbox then wiring up to back of cluster. There may also be wiring differences so do your own research. 

 

The Americans do lots of random things to their cars, one of the many threads that turned up when I was googling it myself a few months ago:

I've done it, not easy, wouldn't recommend.

 

Speedo is different

Wiring is different

dash mounting points are different (e.g you need to weld brackets n stuff on)

Also need matching door cards/center console bits possibly pillar trims ect although I haven't checked that yet (still need to source door cards and check fitment) 

 

 

Basically only worth doing if you have a complete ver5/6 donor car that you can grab everything required from
