Default Installing Climate Control into Non Climate Control GC8

Hi Guys,

Has anyone successfully converted a non climate control GC8 to STi/GD spec climate control?

If so, was it mission impossible? What parts are required and are there any guides floating around on the net?

Cheers!

I weigh half a metric tonne, some bling won't make much difference. I'll just have a pre-game dump to get the power to weight ratio back

There are a few mods I want to do 'because I can' spec.

Stace, did geoff do a writeup anywhere or was this a secret bling meter type mod?

I probably should pull the unit out of my car and look... But anyhoo...

The climate control systems just have a wiring harness plug on the back. What do the non-climate control have? I assume some old skool wire to control the recirc/fan speed?

All I want out of the system at the moment is fan/heater control with a plug in the back. Air con goodness can come later unless I remove it.
