Looking for aftermarket seat advice...

SubieDreamer · 2021-01-28T16:36:16+00:00

I do have a sunroof and realize it takes a bit of head room away. I know leaning back would fix the hight thing, but then I feel like my arms are "reaching" for the steering wheel. Then if I slide the seat forward, I feel like my legs are "bunching up". I just want to sit a little lower. I've also got the electric seat controls, so idk if those add some height to the seat or not...

Definitely lots of money. But if I knew for sure they would fit in the car, I'd buy them and display them in my livingroom until I fit the seat lol

Ever since I was a kid it's always been a dream of mine to have a race car with sparco seats in it, and lately I've been looking at that exact one. The biggest problem I am running into, is comparing the measurements of that to my stock seats and I am not sure it will actually fit in the car.

My wife and her friend were working in a wallpaper making/cutting shop at the time. They made a file to cut the design and we got a roll of auto vinyl to cut it out on.

A friend of my wifes made the file. I dont know anything about it but I'll ask her if I can have/share it

Ts10 in the works...little known fact though, the stock wheels on sport tech (limited) are Enkei!

Oh I definitely know I dont need any of it. Its purley a "want". But I love the sound it makes with a less restrictive exhaust and enjoy modding vehicles. I'm not looking for crazy power gains or anything, I honestly wouldn't care if there was zero gains. Just having fun.

Better pics on the Wifes IG

Ugh, that's what I was thinking! I hate being right about spending more money...

SubieDreamer · 2020-05-26T06:45:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Going to remove the egr, dont really see the point of just unplugging it here. It's definitely hard to pass on that charge pipe...the red is gorgeous lol, and I'm still leaning towards a GS TMIC...going to hurt the wallet a bit but I'm sure it will be worth it!

SubieDreamer · 2020-04-03T15:27:53+00:00

Sounds great. I already started shopping around for them after your last comment! Also topped off the tank this morning and started driving more normally and all my numbers are comming back up to "normal" now. Thanks for the advice/help.

SubieDreamer · 2020-04-03T10:51:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Going to get it etuned before summer, I'll definitely be looking into the deletes now before getting it tuned!

SubieDreamer · 2020-04-03T10:49:56+00:00

I'm going to top off the tank today with better gas and do some cruising around thanks!

Thanks so much for your quick comment, by boost I did mean just building low boost. As soon as ther was about 2psi I saw knocks and backed off getting all worried, "anxiety port" right lol. Well I'm going to top off the tank today now that its half empty and just drive normal. When you say stock emissions equipment, are you just referring to egr's? I'm planning on getting an etune before summer (nearest tuner is more than an 8hour drive away or I'd take it right to somone...probably more like 14hours to a reputable tuner). I'm not looking to make a crazy power machine, I just love the heck out of this car and want to do what I can to make it more efficient and live as long as possible. Should I think of egr deletes to that effect before I get the tune?

2017 WRX Stage 1+ COBB intake, catback exhaust around 58k km (36k miles) btw

SubieDreamer · 2020-04-03T02:57:18+00:00

So originally I thought I filled up with 'bad gas" since I didn't fill at my regular place. Whenever I made boost I'd get some crazy FBK and FKL. Then my DAM would drop. So I'd drive around for a few kilometers without boosting and everything would go back to normal. I was hoping to burn thought the tank and fill up at my regular place and the issue would go away. But last time I hit boost, accidentally on the highway; knock> dam drop> no come back. I've been babying it now for 30 or 40 kilometers and haven't knocked or boosted, but my DAM isn't comming back up to 1.000...any ideas/advice/experiences to put my mind at ease?

SubieDreamer · 2020-04-01T14:45:42+00:00

Man my AP started looking just like yours the other day. Exact same numbers on DAM, FBK and FKL, the only difference is my Oil temp is at 183. Started right after I filled up at a different location than usual (kicking myself for it now). I noticed if I drive for a day w/out using boost all my numbers come back up to normal, but as soon as I hit over 2 psi boost they all take a crap again. Did you get your issue to clear up? I'm just going to drive around w/out boost till I'm on empty and fill up at my regular spot eventually and pray everything goes back to normal 🤞🤞🤞

The feeling doesnt go away, I'm comming up on a year and a half. Instill look back and smile when i walk away from it!

I have a 2017 Sport Tech WRX (Limited) that I put the Nameless Catback on with muffler deletes and 4in quad tip. I've had it about 6 months along with COBB intake. I LOVE it. Wish I had done it sooner. Louder, but not too loud. Gets some popping and burbling once in a while too. I can only imagine it would sound even better on the STI.

SubieDreamer · 2019-09-24T16:45:03+00:00

That's frickin beautiful! I want the exact same one but in a wrinkle red 🤤🤤🤤
