As everyone knows i have 2003 WRX seats in my car. Well I just finished some 2007 STi seats for Ron (NeedforSpeed)'s pearlie. Here are some pics as well as the detailed pics that I never did from my WRX seats. STi seats are more difficult to do, but they are still possible. The trim on the in-side of each seats causes you to have to push and work the monting points into place. Whereas my WRX seats fall into place.. Here are the pics:

The inside rail with the stock rear foot cut off

The rear rail modified

The outside rail with the stock foot cut off and the extended tab welded on

The front points attached

Finished

Cool! I really need to get to work on my WRX seats. They're TV room furniture right now

And they make great furniture at that.... My next "Im bored" project will be to make a office chair out of a STi seat.. The donor chair frame is already in my possession.

I sit in them while playing Forza 2 on my 360, driving an STi of course. I kind of laugh at myself sitting in a WRX seat, with pedals and steering wheel in front of me, looking at the screen...

It is the perfect gaming chair..... I had the both front seats from the WRX in my room for a while and they were set up in front of the TV... Playing xbox has not been the same since they actually went into the car.

So anywho, to make sure I've got this right:

On the WRX seats:

-front inner bolt needs to be ground wider towards the center of the seat (turned into an oval, whatever term you want to use)
-rear feet have to be cut off
-rear outter is a plate welded to the rail with a hole drilled
-rear inner rail has a ~1" section removed from the top and a hole drilled to allow the bolt to go through, the bolt to the driveshaft hump is not used.

Sound right?
