Long Island Legacy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I was at the dealer today and noticed the 2008 center console is pretty much identical to the one we have in the legacy. All the way down to the rear seat cup holders. Looks like a direct fit. Plus it has a notch for our seat heat controls in the same spot and a Nicer SI drive controller. Anyone think this will work http://www.motivemag.com/Content/uploads/1/sti7_center.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Intresting thought. I hadn't really thought about a switch like that. I bet it might fit. Just lots of parts, and big price tag.

bnguyenbb6 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think the top part of that center console would not line up with the bottom of the dash/radio part. It might look awkward and unflowing, but that center console does look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Legacy Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Lol Why the Iceberg Urs1ne. But seriosuly i spent a good two hours waiting around at the dealer today and From my comparison the 08 sti console would be a definite possibilty by the looks there are dimensionally identical & there is a dummy cover where our heated seat controls are so that would be a natural fit there. Plus the cool SI-drive controller. I would love to see a 08 sti center console taken out to see the clips and how similar to the legacy it really is.

DiscoWagon Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 What would be the point if they're identical? The STI also has a spot for the DCCD controls so there would be a hole or something that is useless in that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, not if he does sti tranny swap with DCCD controller... and hooks up the stock 08 sti controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoWagon Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, not if he does sti tranny swap with DCCD controller... and hooks up the stock 08 sti controls. It's much easier to use an aftermarket DCCD controller like Spiider's when doing a 6 spd. swap or any tranny swap with DCCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant. Not easier, but virtually the only option on LGT. Spiider offers option to use factory controls (pre-08) - I guess 08+ would work, I doubt they would change them other than the shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06jax2.5se Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Lol Why the Iceberg Urs1ne. that is a GIGANTIC storm wall cloud and that ship is about to get F'ed in the A!

urs1ne Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I was one of the first to try the JDM bumper/tail lamp conversion and it cost a lot more than I thought and never ended up working and I got a bunch of BS advice. From now on I'm just going to sit back and wait for someone else to post a full walk through before I try a project like that. ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingFiend Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 It's looks like a nightmare project just to get the double din and extra storage at the base of the stack. Not sure about you guys, but I'd rather have the engine than the interior swapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 dito, but would be nice. I guess only in our dreams Ben (2014 Outback SAP w/ eyesite, 2014 Tribeca Limited, 2006 LGT limited sedan) Subaru Ambassador PNW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Legacy Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Guys your missing the point. This is merely a thread about swapping the sti cup holder center cubby while utilizing the si drive controller. I would leave the dccd buttons there for show and i think they would come with the console. I'm not rdefring to any dash parts just the center part where your armrest is, just that unit nothing past the shifter area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKLGT Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Why would you want the DCCD controls if you don't have DCCD? that's what I was thinking. ??? and no, nothing is ever just "there." you have to buy all the little parts and pieces that go with the console.

Nacron Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i'm interested in this for the opposite reason. I want the slide cup holder in my 08 2.5i impreza from the legacy. Question: Was there ever a coin holder insert in the place of the seat heater controls in the lower model? I could have sworn I've seen a legacy with a coin holder there, but I can't find any pictures of it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 2.5i without heated seats have a small cubby instead of seat heater controls (or the dumb si-drive knob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Anyone tried? I am swapping in DCCD equipped tranny and could use nice controls. Spiider is going to work on hooking up 08+ buttons to his controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I don't know, but contact jackeythejokeman on iwsti. he had an 09+ STI center console that may work for you. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2471/3725848601_a9fe48525f.jpg The legacy console in my impreza. The impreza console has 2 snaps on the front that are not there on the legacy. I had to cut off a piece of plastic on the trim to the right of the shifter that had a snap on it because the seat heater controls were hitting it. The front is not secure because the snap that is on the legacy doesn't exist on the impreza. I'd imagine that it'll be the same on the legacy, a little custom work...won't just be plug and play. I also had to repin the harness for the aux as the connector has different pinouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViscousSquirrel Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Back from the dead! I'm looking for more info and pics on this. I jut picked up a 2011 wrx and cheap might be an understatement for the interior. I want my legacy console in this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyle409 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Bumping an old thread, because I USED SEARCH tool… So it is possible to mount this 08 STI center console Arm Rest PART in my 07 OBXT? I can already feel the fire from the flamers commenting on why the hell I would want a DCCD control if I don't have one… Well I want a black interior and finding a 07+ console with an Si Button in black is harder than finding a 08 STI center console that comes in black… Here is how my car is as of now, arm rest wrapped in alcantara, lower sides/cup holder rear are OEM black but as you can see the top is from my existing tan interior, I tried to paint it but it turned out this blehhh blu/blk color. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z166/dirtjumper202/Subaru/IMG_0541.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
