Sell me your seats please!!!

Nooooooo lol. These are pretty cheap new!. If i had to do it again id honestly get Corbeau A4's. The sparcos are really nice, but i think theyd be better for someone with a wider frame lol. I have a decent amount of wiggle room when im in the seats. Theyre still awesome though!

Got some new parts in. My control arms with new joints, tie rods, and bushings came in. Hopefully i can put them in this weekend. I ordered front brake lines, they should be here friday.
I dont think ive posted these yet, but here are the Dunlops. They all have about 7/32 tread, so i should be set.

Sub'd b/c your subi gives me confidence that you'll deliver.

Haha thanks man! means alot. I hope than i can keep the updated coming during the winter. Kansas winters tend to be pretty shitty. Not looking forward to driving this in the snow.

No real updates. I ordered new control arms with new joints, bushings, and tie rods. Ill take photos of putting those on. Ive been working on trying to finish the Weds as well. Heres a little comparison of how i got them and how they are now
Sorry those photos kinda suck. The machined spokes look much better than they used to! Now i just gotta figure out what to do about the chrome part. Im also having issues deciding on ordering another pair of wheels versus coilovers..decisions decisions

I also wanted to see if i could locate the loud clunking sound on the passenger side of the car. It would only happen when the car was turning and i was on the brakes. It didnt take long to find. This id the joint that is in the middle of the control arm and it bolts to the subframe. The ball part is moving inside of the control arm.. so looks like the car is getting control arms too

Every time i look underneath my car i feel bad cause it looks like complete ass. This is why i need to replace my rack lol. Hopefully ill have a new one in a month or so. When i was doing the brakes i checked out the lines because they looked like they have seen better days, and i was right These are in almost as bad of shape as the steering rack. I guess its time for braided lines.

So i have a little update, nothing crazy. I stopped by a local shop called Autobahn to pick up my parts They always have some cool cars in there
The pads and rotors were straight forward. They're just brakes lol. They feel nice and are much smoother that what was on the car.

Dude nice build. I've followed your wrx from the beginning.

Thanks man. It's the local buds like you that make it possible, bud.
