I just picked up a 2002 WRX Sport Wagon donor and started driving it around this week. I originally was planning on using the the 818S as originally intended from FFR, which means no HVAC. I would really like to have heat and maybe AC to extend the useful time I can drive the 818S her up north. After thinking about how to plumb a "Vintage Air" or comparable retrofit kit for the 818S, wouldn't it be alot easier, and cheaper, to just use the entire dash from the donor car? After driving it for a while, I'm starting to like the look and feel of the dash, and I think it's alot more appealing than the SEMA car dash.
Any thoughts?
