Title: Pointers for install Power for HAM in a WRX
Post by Dave Cotie on 06/12/12 at 18:57:19

Anyone have some information they can share on installing a HAM Radio in a '02 WRX?

From what I can see the grommets in the firewall are stuck behind the intercooler.

Can you go through behind the fender liner where most of the wiring appears to go?

Dave, have a look and see if there's a grommet under the brake booster, right above the frame rail. That's the one I usually runs things through on my car, it comes out above and behind the pedals, I'm just not sure if there's one in the same spot on that generation car.

Dave, watch this and see if this is the same as your car.
