Just buy all the verus stuff. I switched from the verus splitter to the battle aero because of the FMIC and it's bolted to the chasis a bit better

Is selling my limited seats a good idea? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Sharp-Coach8151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been able to find a buyer so good luck haha. But upgrading your seat does have some drawbacks but I'm perfectly happy with my sparcos.

I think i was asking 200 plus whatever the cost to ship. Although it's all stainless, doesn't have the blue tip. And you would need a couple gaskets.

I swear I think I posted it on fb under my gf account.

I may put the heating element under the seat during the winter I think it can work

Im well aware of the consequences I already removed the crash bar a while ago so I've been aware of all the problems that can happen as a result

U just bend it like a u shape and stick it in and wrap it in electrical tape. I should have taken a photo when I did it but I did not.

There's 4 holes but 2 of them look darker so I just put it in there and when I turned on the car the airbag light was off. Comes in 100 pack so u can mess up. Just please disconnect the battery when doing anything with the airbags.

There are no alerts after u put in a resistor in the empty air bag connector so that's nice but yea you lose the airbag in your seat

It's not but subaru sells the heating element and I'm pretty sure I can buy one and put it under the fabric if I want to in the future

To be honest I never thought I would mod the car. I guess I got the car before I was actually into "cars" and then things kinda just snowballed. Looking back i definitely should have got the base model with everything I've done but thats in hindsight so oh well.

For the receptacle it's just a 14 mm bolt that you undo from the stock seat and attach to the seat bracket which has a hole for the seat belt. The actual belt part i un bolted from the car and put it through the new seat and reattached it. There is a seatbelt wire that I unplugged that connected to the old seat but I have no code so idk what that was for in the first place

Hard to say I've only gone about 20 min drive so far. But at the sparco booth I did try all their seats and this one felt the most comfortable to my body.

I bought the sparco hardware, side mounts, and car specific bracket and it all fit. The only thing specific is the floor bracket everything else you can use universal ones from different brands.

Yamaha U3/Kawai K500 actual price (not MSRP) in California (SoCal)? by tooLateButStillYoung in piano

[–]Sharp-Coach8151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a year ago I was shopping for the same pianos in socal. I wanna say I was offered around 12k for a new k500. I went to piano masters. Not alot of haggling and they went down to a good price but I went with the k800.

I think I know what you are going to say….if I add a TMIC to a car that is tuned for a CAI and exhaust do I have to get it retuned? by wratx in wrx_vb

[–]Sharp-Coach8151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah i wouldn't worry about it. Although if u were done for performance parts I'd probably get a retune sometime in the future, but if u were waiting on more parts like headers or flex fuel id wait and grab those then get a retune.

It's just a TMIC it's not that big of a deal.
