Hello, guys.
I'm from Russia and i'm here to find out some experience from America's Subaru owners.
I have GF8 1997 car with everything from 2006 STI JDM, except steering. Steering is from 2005 STI EUDM, left-hand drive.
There are Garrett 2867, external wastegate, methanol injection and other awesome things inside.
I will give more specs in Member's car gallery when i can write there.

In Russia we have a lot of snow in winter, so i decided to buy smaller wheels with higher tyres profile. To install r16 or r15 wheels i shall change front brakes to 4pot from wrx.
I bought 26300-FE050 oem brake disks from JDM Spec C 16 inch edition and used 4 pot front brakes. Also i bought repair kit for brake supports. Here is some photo of installation process:

Thank you, guys.
Today i decided to install sports seat, seatbelt and steering wheel.
The seat is OMP WRC



The steering wheel is OMP WRC



The seatbelt is SCHROTH HYBRID II SLIPSTOP 3+2" 6-point red color


Also i need seat fixing for the bottom of two sides of the seat and another bracing to the floor of a car.
And OMP steering wheel hub adapter for Subaru.
I used universal side adapters for seat, i paid about $30 for it and made custom floor adapter using 3mm steel sheet and steel square tube with side 25mm.
Photos of custom adapter will be later, because today i just made it, at the next weekend i will make it beautiful and paint it.
For all the work i spent about 6 hours. The result is:

I've always had a soft spot for wagons plus the Rays are a nice touch!
