wrx seats in a protege 5

[slotege5]

Yup, direct bolt in with little mod

 

[Brian_K]

nice! what year are they from? and what was the little mod you had to do to get them to fit?

 

[blkspdfreak]

wow...good find.

 

[Hank3]

Those are '02-'03 WRX seats. If those fit, I would imagine '04-'07 WRX (and probably even STI seats) would also fit with little modification because '02 & '03 WRX owners swapped seats all the time with later year WRX/STI owners regularly.

What do you know, Hank?! It's not like you're on the subaru message boards!

So, slotege5, when you say, 'little modification', what do you mean?






I'm FiveDoorSVT on OT, in case you didnt know, Hank.

Too bad I have side airbags.......

Someone needs to do this with a good set of cloth seats with airbags so I can have

I figured you were someone from nasioc. As you can see, I winded up with a P5 and not an SVT

slotege5 posted this in his other thread about the modification:

Not really able to take pics of them, only 3 things you need is some muscle, bend the outside tab of watch front rail and on the outside back the the rail on watch one you need to lower it about half a inch. I cut the Gabe and really welded it but without this mod it will sit a Tad UN even on one side. But it mostly bolts in took me about 20 mins. And the wrx is a 02

I remember you from the MS3 thread in OT. I had a red MS3 GT that i sold and got my P5 with the proceeds.

Anyway, back on topic...i'm not really sure what to make of that quote you posted...some odd spelling errors in there.

Either way, i'd love some STI seats in my blue P5, they're really comfy and supportive. And there's no shortage of people selling them on NASIOC.

Anyone know if they have side air bags and would happen to be comparable?

And what is meant by watch one and watch two?

 

[ScratchNSniff]

The irony of the statement: "Direct bolt in little mod"

Since when was welding a little mod...

Also, this is old news, has been done and posted about...look good though...

 

[Hank3]

IIRC, there are side airbags in them.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

What is the deal with side airbags??? I had them in the P5 and had no problem with the Speed3 seats that didn't have them???

 

[bgibb68]

Old prefer to have them....I've had two close calls this week with people who either don't know what a yeild sign mean or are unable to see a bright yellow car.....call it peace of mind....that and that damn airbags light on the dash would piss me off

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Gotcha...my light was never on...strange...

Really? I pulled my interior to run my audio and drove without my pass seat and the light was on...
