Well it's been a busy few weeks what with my car and a bit of work on trev's.

The impreza as been on a bit of a weight loss program as there is going to be no increase in power from the engine also welded in some frame work so i can fit the bucket seats in.

this is the box of sound proofing removed weights in at over 25 kilos

welded the frames in to fit the seats.

Seats fitted and carpet back in.

i still haven't driven this car yet since i bought it but not long now.

Mike makes my list longer
Hopefully we haven't so much chipping of soundproofing to do being ra's but we will see when I rip the interior out
I have to rob one of Jaffas seats and harness now
So much for ' not going to do anything to them'

Roll on march

Ha ha Trev, I was thinking exactly the same thing when a pic of a standard 555 wrx sti with graphics was shown and thought thats what was being worked towards.

As always Mike, good work and your attention to detail is second to none....not even any remnants of that sound deadening there, you wouldnt know it had any before.

Makes me laugh though that all Jap manufacturers used cheap steel to mount the dash, look at the rust on it. My RX7 is exactly the same.

Looks filthy and bodged

25kgs is a superb weight gain in such a relatively small car. Certainly makes room for a few ruby's at the Maharaja now mate

Nice work as usual Mike. I like the fact that you guys just know exactly what needs to be done, no waiting just get stuck in and get it done.
If you don't mind me asking where did you get your drivers seat from. As I need one that isn't like sitting in a bowl. Short legs and all that.

bit late now but we do a BC side mount that is a direct for the the original seat fixings so saves any welding and is adjustable also...........
