    Any one know if the throttle cable's are interchangeable from a 1999 2.5RS and a 2003 WRX? my cable from the 03 wrx is about to break and i have the one from the 99 swap, any help would be great.

    The 2.5RS cable will be quite a bit shorter, but it works just fine.

    well found out the hard way, you are wrong the GC throttle cable has a circular plastic clip in and the WRX has a square clip in. Learn something new everyday.

    yes pedal end, where the end of the cable clips into the plate that the pedal pivits on. square hole, 2.5 RS cable is round clip in.
