Does anyone know if STI seats are any longer than WRX (MY03/4)? I am 6'2" and the WRX originals are a little short. Have chance of STI interior.

many thanks

I've had a WRX and an STi and I've never noticed any difference TBH.

Thank Nathan,

Looks like I'll have to fit Porsche seats to get the extra support (££!!)

What support is it you need?

I'm 6'04 and although the seats are a little short in the leg I find the overall driving position excellent.

the seats in the wrx are shocking - I have an MY04 and am disgusted that I can't replace them without invalidating warranty - hmm i might need to check up on that actually.

there's not enough lateral support - my old prelude vtec had much grippier seats

Nathan,

Sat back is great, but I find the base a little uncomfortable. Thought is was because it was too short, but tried STI seats and found them much more comfortable as they were firmer. Will go that way, I think (Porsche seeats we very expensive).

I fitted the sti interior too to my wrx much better. Only paid 500 for full interior inc carpet seat belts air bag and other plastic trim and boot carpet. All from a rally prep, may be able to get another one if anyone wants one.

Woah, are you sure?

Just to be precise; That's 2 front seats, rear seat, all the seatbelts (door panels?) air bag (from steering wheel?) and the carpet for £500? Let me know if you can get another, may well be interested.

Cheers

Pete
p.s. is that almost new?

Jamesemt

I'd be interested in that also - only just want the front and rear seats plus airbag fix...

You got a good bargain there m8, i paid £700 for all seats, carpet, door panels, and gaitor suround......

You dont get the steering wheel air bag but the passenger one, i will forward an email address when i get back from my holidays on tuesday. This kit is all brand new and the seats still had the plastic wrappers on them. The carpet is a dark blue as well on the new STIs. Looks great in the car.

James,

could be a good deal in here - I actually would prefer to have just door cards/panels. How about buying one set and I buy the door cards/carpet?

Pete
p.s. I you want my details, I can PM them.

poffer

Mark,

sounds great - James wants the seats & airbag, I want door cards & maybe carpet (I have some seats now). If you can PM details, I will arrange with James and see if we can get one set and split it (if James is OK with that).

many thanks

Pete

Jamesemt

Yeah we can maybe do a deal. How shall we do this? I only need the seats - I was refering to the airbag 'fix' to stop the airbag fault light coming on...

S600HBY

Ok guys just waiting for him to get back to me.

Mark

poffer

Mark,

Thanks for you help. Will wait for details.

James, I need to do airbag fix too, so will let you know how I do it (2 x 3.3 ohm resistors and some way to fit them). No worries

Pete

Hi Mark,

any luck?

Cheers

Pete
p.s. Airbag fix a breeze, went to local electronics store - cost a quid

S600HBY

Not heard from him yet cant believe it as he emailed me about these just before i posted to you guys. I will send him another email.

Mark.

Ps i have one for sale but its £450 plus your interior if its a new age impreza

poffer

Mark,

Probably keeping my interior, as it's new and I may need it if I sell, almost certainly if I PX.

I guess the guy may not have come back, as demand for STi interiors appears to exceed supply.

Thanks anyway.

Peter
