I know, I know. But they were a X-mas present, and my brother was crazy! and he wanted to get me something big that wasn't directly going to make my car go faster. he heard me talking about seats and how I loved the EVO and STi seats. My brother is teh cool.

AND yes there are 2!

Sparco Torinos something to go with my shift Knob!

Pictures made possible by Tyson's new kick your ass Canon 5 Meg Camera!!

That's badass, man - and actually it probably will make the car go faster, cause usually good aftermarket seats like Sparcos are lighter than the OEM seats. You should weigh the OEM's and the new ones to compare them.

True, but the WRX seats are mostly foam just like the Sparcos... not like the Lazy Boy recliners in your Mustang. Where'll they'll really make him faster is by giving him a nice tight seat during AutoX.

Tyson, before next season pick up a Schroth harness and pads, so you can really cinch yourself into that seat. It helps you a lot to not have to "hang on" to the inside of the car while bombing around the course!

Tyson, those are great! Jealous!

Might the seats be lighter since there are no airbags in the sides either?

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty psyched about them.

Like Scott said they will make a nice AutoX addition to my car kepping me in that damn seat steering hard.

I love the way that thing looks, even better, it didn't cost much. I mean, none of them are functional for what we do, why spend $k on one?
