Hi there, looking to buy my first impreza and I've seen a few wrx bug eye imprezas with Regular front seats as Apposed to the bucket style reclines I've seen in most others , why is this and is it an easy swap over to put the relining buckets in?

 

Picture of what seats you mean would help. Just about all age subaru seats are interchangeable.

 

These are the style of seats ive seen in two for sale near me. ..they normal? Low spec? Early wrx cars?

 

I had these in my bug but had been retrimmed in leather, replaced with seats from a P1.

 

I believe it was a optional extra to have buckets on the original. Mine have been changed but be aware the airbag light will come on when you swap round..Its worth it though..scooby without buckets is awful lol

 

If the non bucket seats have airbags surely buckets of the same era would also? Can you plug them in and reset?

 

If the plugs match, but they may not.

Seats will fit though.

 

A car wont pass a mot with airbag light on to come in or may already be in

 

The bugeye came with the recliners pictured with airbags, or the buckets without airbags. The airbag light can be sorted with either a resistor in the loom, or a genuine Subaru squib to cancel the light - which is a resistor in a fancy housing to fit straight into the OE connector

 

Thanks will bear that in mind dont like the thought of sticking with those think I will be keeping and eye out for a set of buckets at some point
Cheers guys

 

Sorry to high jack this thread but I have just replaced my airbag seats in my Bug for STi buckets and now have an airbag light on. Have you any idea where I can get two of these squibs to plug into the loom please?
Thank you,
Michael

 

The squibs are about a tenner each from Subaru iirc, or you can pick up some 3ohm resistors for a few pence each. There's a live thread somewhere on that discussion - a quick search should help you out

 

Thank you. I have now ordered some resistors
