Impreza seat mounts what years are the same?

Recommended Posts

Looking for what years have matching floor mounting points.

 

I have future plans to change the seats (yes airbags, yes cert, yes harnesses, yes Hans and belt angles, and wtf ever else).

spoken to a few guys in lvvta on this and since seatbelt in on the rails then the after market ones are not really acceptable. And yes I know they get past some cert guys and some of you use them based on the seat anchor part of the rules.

 

All i and want to know what years I can use the floor mounting from to fit the 08-14 car form?

 

 

And why did Subaru do from those comfortable mid 90's seats (sad face harness slot) to the cheap unsupportive ones now?

All aftermarket seats (on non oe rails) have to have a floor mounted seatbelt. You get to drill holes in your transmission tunnel to mount that. 

 

Recent update to the cert threshold means that if it's the factory seats, the belt mounted on the rails is fine. If it's an aftermarket rail set, you have to provide a compliance document from the rail manufacturer at the time of cert stating that the rails are crash tested and safe (good luck with that) or floor mount the seat buckle.

Yeah if the recaro rails bolted up then I've have an easy time. Recaro factory rails are flat and have a good set of mounting points.

No, you wouldn't have a good time with them, because you'd need to find the compliance documentation for your car and the testing, or you'd still have to floor mount the seatbelt stalk. The kyouu rails sold by nzkw are compliant for certs, but don't have a seatbelt stalk attached to em. (Again floor mount)

 

The only way you'd pass a cert with the recaro rails is if the car left the factory in Japan with the optional recaro seats in it.

      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
