wrong bugeye seats? help please
hi, i am due to pick up a 2002 bugeye wrx on saturday and have been looking at others and noticed the seats in the car i am getting look like they are from the gx sport version as they look fairly normal and have a headrest, all the rest i have seen have one piece seats, can anyone confirm what front seats the wrx should have please.
many thanks neill. |
I have an 01 WRX and it to has the seats like you with headrests and air bags in the sides. They came standard on the early bugeye's I am lead to believe and the one piece seats were an option. Do not rule them out them out though, they are quite comfy.

i have a 2001 bugeye too, i believe th uk version which mine is has the standard type bucket seat with the head rests, it the jdm version which has the all in one type
|
That's correct. The standard ones were the airbag equipped ones with a headrest. The proper bucket seats were an additional option.
|
I have a UK bugeye with the bucket type, the only disadvantage is that these are not equiped with airbags like yours. There are plenty of sets going as many WRX owners have upgraded to STI interiors, therefore leaving theirs spare :)
|
Also, the seats with headrests are slightly more comfortable for larger people, they are a bit wider. I would happily swap my airbagged ones for bucket versions if anyone is interested. Although I might be glad of the extra width after Christmas.

Not sure, there may be a simple fix for it but when you do swop them over your airbag light remains lit

Sure there'll be something similar for these cars. Just need to examine the wiring diagram |
thanks for the replies, i just thought the previous owner may have swapped the seats, i think i would like to get some of the bucket type though especially if they have more side support.

I've got the bucket seats in my UK bugeye - would definately recommend them for the twisties :norty:
I had a day a few weeks back when i was in the seat for about 8 hours - i expected them to give me back/butt ache after a while but was very impressed. |
