How did you reinstall the plastic seal? Did you buy a new one or was the black adhesive still worked, just wondering before I change the side mirrors on my premium to the jdm folding ones.
that seal is just like a tacky glue. You can peel the plastic away and then put it right back.
Wow THIS is the ONE I’ve been looking FOR! lol Been waiting on a tastefully designed one! I’ve been on the fence for a few months but I think after the last few weeks of mulling it over, your vid helped me decide. And to boot you did it with an underrated color too 👏
Thanks for the kind words! I’m getting old and my taste is understated. I don’t want it to draw unnecessary attention.
I'm working on my 89 now after neglecting it since 2007 I've had it since 92
Is it possible to keep the heated seats option? Do the make these seats with that transfer option?
I’m sure it’s possible with other seats. To make these seats heated would probBly be more hassle than just buying an aftermarket heated seat.
Go Isaiah! Driving with you as passenger was fun🥳
He did great!
What wheels do have ?
Wedssport tc105x 18x9.5 et35
Dang, you spent 2500+ on coils? sheeeeeesh lol
Would do it again, these have been worth every cent.
Ooooooooo, you got so many goodies! Really unfortunate about the accident though. I agree, the car is cursed 😲
Hi I just bought an atx30-HD for my 2012 WRX, are you still running it or having issues? Thanks
Still running great, no issues…even if the car sits a couple weeks without a tender. I do live in TX though. Up north could always be different.
My 1989 PGT would overboost to 12lbs. Love that car but it's manual trans is glass.
Too bad you did not showed the final work on the doors and behind the front fenders.
yeah, I just got in the zone and forgot to get more footage. I haven't done the fenders yet as I plan to knock that out when I pull the wheels off to ceramic coat them. I'll try to remember to grab some footage of that.
So I might be a bit late, but when you’re reinstalling the panel at 1:54, you can use a 8mm to push the inside of that clip and pull it out with a needle nose pliers to hook it back to that plastic panel piece to put it back on
Would have been easier for sure, thanks! Probably going to be doing this same project on a different car soon so I’ll give that a shot.
Very Nice
Thanks!
does the sparco seat make you sit lower then the oem seat?
No, it sits very similar
Was looking at getting one of these for my 24 SR5, big question for me is how good is it about keeping water out of the bed?
I’m sure it isn’t water tight but I haven’t had any issues with stuff getting wet. I always see reviews that expensive ones still let water in so I’d just get a cheap one. If i was going to travel with something that absolutely can’t get wet, I’d just throw it in a tote.
What size are your wheels? And what size are known to clear the 4pot body? I tried this on my 22 and my 15-17 18 inch STI (18*8.5) wheels didn't fit, neither did the stock wheels but that was to be expected
17s or 18s as long as the offset is aggressive enough. I’m running 18x9.5 et35
My big hang-up was the seatbelt plug - I assumed it needed to be connected to prevent the "Hey, buckle up!" chime. It looks like you're just leaving it disconnected, though?
I plugged it back in
@@randomquickness To what? Did you pull the harness off of your stock seat?
Yep, reused buckle and harness
@@randomquickness Appreciate the reply. I have a power seat so it looks like there's an extra harness I have to track down.
I always wanted a q45t, life happened and I've only owned Infiniti's but no q45's. Kinda envy you for actually having this.
Come get it! I’ll take a loss to get it in the hands of an enthusiast 👍
That was awesome. I can’t wait for my daughter to get involved.
I have spinal stenosis and get random sciatic pain. This helps a lot brother! Will keep this in mind when I get my VB. MyTRDPro 4Runner hasn’t given me problem tho thankfully.
Well worth it!
looked fun lol...i should get out there n do some
Come on up!
I did bonded title on my 89 probe gt , my 3 years is up in October. Mine was out of the system for years but man over the 3 years I am not sure I wanna get rid of it. I still have not seen one in Vegas driving around, taken it to a few cars and coffee just a fun car! Mine was at a mechanic shop and sit there cuz the owner didn’t wanna buy for the work done to the car ,well the shop was closing and the owner gave the car to a fellow who helped him with closing the shop up. It then sat in helmet California where this guy had it. From not working and out of the system to running and clean title in October! Keep it! I even picked up a 95 probe gt in exchange for some bbs wheels I had sitting around. I got that one running too and will be registering it soon, I may have to also bonded title !
I have no intention to keep it long term…but I also find myself in no rush to get it titled 🤣
Seeing your VB is EXACTLY why I paint matched it like yours. Love it.
Thanks! How you liking yours?
Good video, love that road especially on Sunday mornings it can be a great place to sight see:-)
Thanks, I’m close to that road so I know. I get out there all the time 👍
Hell yeah, ive been fixing my f50 Q45 and im in the same boat had to special order my steering rack bushings from japan but its almost there. Keep ot up man! Badadd car
Wow nice job I have a 1990 probe fully loaded 28,414 miles, turbo and its a auto transmission it's now really a parts car unless I can look under it, and there is no rust eating long story why my buddy left it sitting there and now gave it to me the title would not be a issue I'm in CT. last time it ran was 1993.
Definitely has some value in parts. These are hard to come by now.
Hey, where did you get those STI brakes?
Ebay motors, just be careful as there are several replicas out there.
What wheels are those? Looks awesome
Wedssort tc105x. Thanks!
What size tires?

I wish I could have a tan truck like that one!

Nice setup!! What’s the seats if dont mind me asking? Looking for something reclinable which maintains the daily drivability but also improving lateral support.
Sparco R333. I have another vid for that if you want to check it out. I haven't made an update/review vid on it but the short answer is I don't love it or hate it. I would probably buy a different seat if I actually had a place to sit in them. Our local race shops only really have fixed back seats that you can try before you buy.
@@randomquickness Thanks for the reply. Nowadays is difficult to find store that actually has display unit. Do you think R333 hugs better than stock seat?
I would say the shoulder area does but thighs, not really.
DBA ROTORS, not calipers lol. My brain was still too high on the fun to think straight.
how much are the sti calipers? do they come with the dbas?
Just depends if you buy new or used calipers and the rotors are separate. I have another vid talking about the brakes if you want to check it out.
After a month, what are your thoughts? I’m in the Austin area too. Is it a cloth material? Their site just says “OEM Style Materials”. Just starting my search so I’m sure it’s out there already.
It’s cloth but feels different than oem. You’re welcome to swing by and sit in it.
@@randomquickness that would be great. I’m out of town for work the next few weeks but when I get back to town I’ll be contact.
Did you put any deadening mat directly behind the speaker?
I did not
Yea its a decent daily but youre gonna need to change the timing chain, get valves adjusted, replace the pcv valve, new filter, radiator and thermostat to fix the cooling issue then a good wetsand, cut n buff. And i guess the seats.. then change tranny fluid with new filter, new fuel filter, flush the power steering fluid, flush the brake fluid, change the oil and filter and shell run for another 5 or 10 years if keep oil changed and dont let it overheat..
I’ll tackle some of these but I can’t take this car to the finish line or I won’t be able to get my money back on it. My hope is I can sell it for a good price to an enthusiast who will pick up where I leave off.
Shes got a bad lifter tick.. needs timed and valves adjusted.. before it starts banging a piston against that lifter..
Might as well upgrade the brakes to z32 or g37s
Damn that tick is loud!!!
How's the 1 month review so far with this seat? Comfort and dislikes?
So I’ll say the foam is pretty hard but I imagine more seat time will make it break in more. I did take it on a few 3 hour trips and no issues. The bolstering around the shoulder is much improved over stock. The thigh bolstering is actually pretty similar to stock,just with harder foam. Getting in and out is easy, no weird car yoga like I used to do getting in and out of the 911 with fixed back buckets.
What series AntiGravity battery do you have?? That one fits perfectly!👌🏼

As much as I like my '23 Forester, I'm honestly considering trading in it for a '22+ WRX.
Other than less cargo/storage I can’t see any reason not to 🤷
I just bought a 2024 WRX Sport Tech and all I gotta say is DO IT!
Ok now.. those painted flares give the car a whole new stance/look. I really like it dude. Keep up the great work. btw, how's the paint holding up so far? Has Subaru done this paint job, aesthetically this car would have had a whole more positive acceptance from enthusiasts.
Some dealers do paint them for an extra charge. There are also aftermarket options now. Back when I bought mine they had just come out so I had to take it to a body shop to get them sanded smooth and painted. The paint has actually held up quite well though.
@@randomquickness Good deal. 👌🏻
Your VB with the painted cladding painted rocker panels and bumpers looks the best hands-down.
Thanks! I agree but I may be a tad biased 🤣
subaru needs to offer that as an option...
what wheels are those? looks nice

Do you any issues with heated seats lights or codes coming up?
Nope, disconnected the battery during install and used the resistor on the airbag connector (yellow connector under the seat)
For that to be a Lexus thatbattery look little asf
It actually didn’t even have a battery. This was a spare I’ve been holding onto for just such an occasion. I’d bet the oem battery was slightly wider based on the tray.
Uh oh. I’m putting 315 70 R18s on my 2023 SR5 but already have a 1.75” lift in front and 1” cornfed spacer in the rear. We’ll see how it goes LOL!
You’ll be fine 👍 mine hasn’t rubbed after the 2”/1”.
@@randomquickness got ‘em on. Wish I could send a pic haha. It doesn’t rub in the back at all, misses the sway bar and no need to remove those brackets in the front fender well. So far no rubbing but I’ll still pin back what I can.
Sweet! I figured it would be fine as long as you have enough offset to keep the tire off the swaybar.
@@randomquickness I’ve got SCS F5s. +12 offset
I would've topped it off with water until you find the leak. Then I would completely drain the old coolant and replace it with new.
Indeed but wasn’t actually sure if it was leaking and it had some coolant jugs in the trunk. Just figured i’d use that and put some miles on it. So far it hasn’t leaked a drop and there are no signs of a bad head gasket. 🤞🏻
@@randomquickness weird. Low coolant, coolant jugs in the truck and no leak? Super weird.
indeed, and there was a spare waterpump in the the trunk...wondering if it had a leak from there and PO replaced it.@@erocker78
@@randomquickness I'm wondering why it was low on coolant. Assuming they replaced the waterpump you would think that they would have refilled it all the way. Keep us posted on the head gasket. It could be blowing into the water jacket at high rpms. I had a car that a long time ago that did that. I kept losing coolant over a long period of time. It took me a while to finally figure out where it was going. It wasn't mixing with the oil and it wasn't leaking anywhere obvious. The whole time it was being pushed out into the reservoir until it over flowed, but only while driving at high rpms.
Will do!
