Newme Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm considering buying a 2004 forester sti, however one thing puts me off is the fact that there is no cruise control. Had a fast legacy many years ago and lost my licence at 137mph. So I don’t want a repeat of this and if I have cruise control I will quite happily just sit doing the legal limit for most of the time but without it I have tendency drive fast all the time. So has anyone had any experience of fitting an aftermarket cruise control kit to a Japanese imported sti forester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'd be interested in that as well, I already have a Foz STi and I miss the cruise control that I had in my XTEn Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I guess it would be a bit of a pain as the ecu would probably need changing to one with cruise then need mapping to be able to get the most of out of the sti side of things, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Kits do exist, cruise control not that complex really, it just controlling throttle & reading speed signal data. If you google cruise control kits you will get some results/info. The kits can work with most cars & have settings to work with varying types of manufacturer sensors, come with stalk or dash mounted control unit.

bitman Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 i have done that with my 1988 Renault 25 Turbo-D back n the time. i sourced all the original kit from a breaker and with some smoke and solder i had original cruise control B) here's the thing; you will need an electric schema to know where to hack and what to get...

Fuzzninja Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Would something like this kit work on a 2004 forester STI right hand drive? https://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/subaru-impreza-1993-2004-complete-rostra-cruise-control-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
