Fitting Race seats in an Impreza

Have to say, you're dead right Trev, you should be spending it on an ecu. It'll do more good

Although decent seats will help you go faster. Tricky one really.

just need to check that they are the kevlar ones as the diolen ones are

what appeals to me is that they already have the seat rails made aswell as the side mounts so no messing about just bolt in, i will ask if there kevlar but i doubt they are

would personally never bolt a seat through the floor, particuarly in an impreza made out of tin..............

aside from anything else in an accident involving the floor it will potentially allow the seat to move and slacken/tighten race belts!!! not nice either way

on a sideways note we are main dealers for Cobra, Recaro, etc..........

Looking at the pics in his add, I cant see how they mount to the existing transmission tunnel mounting. Are they new age specific I wonder?

Having spent a little time recently knealing in the footwell and watching it flex and creak I am coming round to your way of thinking. Back to the drawing board for plan G we go!

got a pm back from him after sorting out a time to go and see them to say there sold, never mind, so my moneys going towards a ecu which i should have done anyway, i think the cobra evolutions are what i will go for in the future though they seem pretty resonably priced oh and extra wide :-D
