BP5 Seat Removal

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, been on this forum for some time but I'm not a regular user.

 

Just a quick intro, my name's Manny and I drive a '06 BP5 - VERY HAPPY WITH IT :)

 

I'm hoping someone can point in the right direction. Has anyone swapped out their front seats? My drivers seat is worn and there is a hole in it, rather than getting the seat re-upholstered it appears to be more cost efficient to just swap it out. I know there will be a few bolts to undo but is there anything I need to look out for? Is it fairly straight forward? In other cars I've owned there have been airbag connections under the seat.

 

I found a Youtube video for the rear seat, but couldn't find anything helpful for the front ones.

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers!

I've removed mine a couple of times for running speaker wiring. Not alot to it really. Just the 4 bolts, and a number of connectors depending on what spec it is. They're all differently shaped/coloured so no way of putting them back together wrong.

 

Firstly do you have an airbag tag like that on the front seats? If so you'll be wanting to look for seats with airbags aswell. If not then any 4th gen seat will work.

Those are just the standard ones which aren't all that great to be honest, look good but have bugger all support.

The prefacelift ones are a bit narrower with considerably bigger bolsters. Not at all uncomfortable but you have way more support in fast corners. I would have swapped in prefacelift ones myself if there were ones available with side airbags.

Had mine out last night for cleaning and wiring, as @Andy_Mac said, bolts at all four corners and wiring for seat belt sensor and I would hazard a guess and say airbag as well (judging by the vehicles year). 

I made my life difficult and didn't remove seats to run wiring. Probably should have just removed it in hindsight.

Gr is 2007(late) onwards. Basically the sti hatch and newer (those have airbag seats too so no worries there)

Oh, you meant an Impreza... sorry pretty new to Subaru's! So this style would bolt straight in? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/interior/auction-1224709060.htm

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
