98RS to 02-03 WRX harness LIC SWAP HARNESS
Just as the title states...
98RS to 2002-2003 WRX merged harness.... $1200shipped or picked up, add $200 for the ECU.
Harness was Built at LIC in Navato, CA and was ran in my Unicorn for YEARS without any issues. A++++ to the Levy Brothers!
To run this in a car you'd just need the WRX ENGINE/INTAKE manifold harness.

Don't be cheap folks, someone wants this and it's verrrry cheap! Consider the hard work Adam @ LIC puts into these harnesses to make it look factory and we all know LIC doesn't do swaps anymore or even make harnesses to sell. 100% reliability with this LIC fab'd item

Subscribed in case I can get my crap together before this sells. Not sure what my other options would be aside from learning how the ECU works and doing the wiring myself.
So no one makes these anymore? LIC doesn't do swaps but won't build a harness and won't even sell advice for the job? Seriously, even when I had the money to do this - this one "super mysterious" part of it kept me away from the job - maybe even as a matter of principle. It's not the fooking mafia, it's a Subaru engine swap... If I could have had anyone, a shop, a person say "sure I will build you a harness for $XXXX" I would have had a swapped car a looooong time ago.
Anyway - since my car is not a '98 RS but a '95 L Coupe, would this still apply to me or would I need additional modifications to the harness?

You'd want to do a dash swap, but you could get away with not doing one. You'll unplug the pins for the abs on the dash...as you most likely don't have it. Other than that most of the wiring for the "extra" stuff (power doors and mirrors and and and and) isn't used and will just sit there until/if you want to find a set of them to swap in.
My entire interior is for sale and all that. The doors sold last night, Thanks to Jonathan!

FYI- doing a conversion to your OBDI car is one of the most expensive conversions...AND that's a fact, as you need to replace a lot more stuff than if it was OBDII

Won't sell advise? What is that suppose to mean...you mean inform everyone how we do it, did it, only to have people go to the next shop and get it done cheaper (its not rocket science, its understanding wiring diagrams)...........ONLY to end back at our shop to have it all redone. Do some research on who still sells these harness's, there are plenty of companies around.
But thanks a pant-load for the implications and prejudice.............................
Thank you, that makes sense and is helpful.

At the same time, this "paying others to do work" has not gone well in the past, so I am basically being forced into doing the right thing.

"implications and prejudice" <-- that was worth typing again, thanks for the chuckle today!
and on another note: I'm about as helpful as it comes, feel free to read most of my posts....always facts and info being provided.
sorry OP back onto your for sale thread, let me know if your buyer doesn't buy it.
