I'm wondering this as well although my guess is he is running the WRX ECU seeing as the heads, harness and dash are all WRX.
Very impressive dash swap. I've seen that done with older Imprezas but never with a Leg. Props. That is an awesome car.

Thanks guys!
Yeah, it is using the entire WRX headlight to tail-light harness/ECU. With forester headlight plugs to fit with the JDM headlights, and then we spliced in the WRX tail-light harness to my stock one, along with the power windows, doorlocks, sunroof, and new powerfolding mirror with compass.
I'll be careful Kelly, thanks man

So you're utilizing the stock ECU at this point or a reflash?

Where did you mount the ECU since the harness is routed to the passenger side?
Does the cruise work?

You've got to do a write-up on the dash swap. I can get my hands on one, but I just need to know what needs to be modded for it to fit. Ha.

A lot of things! haha it was a lot of work. There is some cutting of the firewall that needs to be done, as well as various welding and sheetmetal mods. I'll try to write one up when I get some free time! haha

Yes, we did end up using it in the SafeDrives rally car that just recently won the PGT championship.

Devan, where did you locate one of the L7 badges? I'd love to incorporate that with my car. I wanted to throw one of the JDM grilles on my wife's '98 LGT, but they primarily fit the '95-'96 bumpers (lower height grille).
