ready to go in CLUMZ1, from a WRX i think.



I could be wrong but looks a lot like a mitsi fto seat with the plastic belt runner removed from the shoulder. Slightly narrower than wrx but not by much.

Fock, you're dead right, they've had the seat belt guides removed and sewn over. I've messaged the guy who I brought them off asking for a refund, I drove 160km round trip to pick them up so he can collect them this time.

wrx seats might be an easier fit though. Theres a thread on here by flyingbrick that has all the measurements etc for wrx seats that makes it real easy.
I fit fto seats to my samurai and the one rail needed a piece of 10mm flat to level the seat properly.

How did the tyres go with flexing up? Did you change anything for trailing arms etc?

I just swapped my 15x8s for some 15x10s but looks like I might have made a mistake as I'm looking at fitting 35s soon.

In regards to fitting wrx seats. I fitted some wrx gravel express seats using the link provided. Pics don't work so I googled it and clicked on images and all the pics showed up in there.

I got brackets made up for $40 down the road and fitted up with a little tweaking.

Flexes up fine, castor correction ok - touches inner rear guards on flex tho, my mech is making up some bump stop extensions for the rear.

I'll swap you! I want 15x10s

Seats are almost in, had to do a little welding as I'm using teh Safari rails, removing the Subie rails meant that we need to weld the rear seat back hinge.
