boxkita Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I hooked up this car seat! Baby Derplette will ride in style! http://i.imgur.com/WWdfZIG.jpg After the race wagon is track ready again, I'll get one of those recaro baby seats and mount in the back. Was thinking of putting the oil sump tank in it. Being the most priceless thing in the car... Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebourne Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Whoa. I had them in my G37 lease for two years, pulled them out about ten days before turning it in, and they had recovered fine! No issues. Had the kids' seats out of my outback on Saturday to carry some long items, and the leather is a little looser than I remember, but nothing like that. 1.5 years and going. Man, glad I bought them!

magnusonsubie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have issues. I told myself no more car parts this semester. Thennnnn I found an already colormatched JDM rear with the half skirt for an unbeatable price shipped. So its on its way. Just gotta figure out what I want to do about the crash beam. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Where?! How?! Different Facebook groups. Lots of Eastern Europeans that run junkyards that have parts.

BoozeRS05 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Are you sure the crash beam is a problem? I thought I read the JDM rear bumper is completely PnP.

magnusonsubie Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Are you sure the crash beam is a problem? I thought I read the JDM rear bumper is completely PnP. With how much shorter the JDM rear is there's no way I could see it fitting. kalien32 even told me when he did his he had to completely ditch the crash bar in the rear to make it fit. I'm hoping maybe mild trimming on the ends and maybe it will fit without the foam. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yeah I know it's a good bit shorter, but thought I read otherwise awhile ago. If you talked to someone who's done it, I'm sure you're getting better info and it is gonna look great no matter what.

magnusonsubie Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I thought I'd read that a sedan crash bar worked but I can't find it anymore. So I'm going to keep looking and I'll probably experiment a little once its here of how it fits. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm going to keep looking and I'll probably experiment a little once its here of how it fits. That's what I'm using. I don't have an absorber installed right now but I think I know where it needs trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 More recent shot. She's not super hooked up, but plenty modded for my tastes. I prefer to keep the sleeper aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Definitely do it, those would look amazing. What specs? EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Agreed. My guess 18x7.5 +55 . Fit easy peasy Kinda remind me of stock 5thgen gt wheels. http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legacy/leg10alloywheel3.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'd have to run a spacer with them, 10-15mm would help them look proper IMO assuming those specs ^ How heavy would be a concern of mine too?

magnusonsubie Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Nasioc has a really good OEM wheel spec and weight sticky. I'll see if I can find it in a minute. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Turns out that wheel isn't listed in the NASIOC sticky. But I did find on a BRZ/FT86 forum someone saying its around 11.5kg which would be 25.3 lbs. I'm pretty certain even my heavy rotas are lighter than those! edit: This post has those specific wheels http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/219253-post3.html from this thread http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f72/subaru-oem-wheels-fit-forester-19106/ NASIOC Wheel sticky: https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2239019 Also this is an incredible list with tons of links. FYI BRZ optional rear fitment wheel sets fit aggressively on our cars and a lot of their normal aftermarket fitment stuff, ie 18x8.5 et38-45 fits quite well on our cars as well. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535 Edited January 12, 2017 by magnusonsubie 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
