lets analize those pics and list out the various parts:

1: Prodrive / Sparco Blue Suede Wheel
2: Prodrive quick release?
3: Prodrive / Sparco one Piece Carbon Fiber Bucket Seats
4: Prodrive / Sabelt Safety Harnesses
5: Prodrive Floor Mats
6: Prodrive Hat


good. now that we have a list, lets go through and talk about my feelings on each item:


1: Prodrive / Sparco Suede wheel
there was a time that I had an aftermarket steering wheel, and I did enjoy having it. however as time went on, my concern for a lack of an airbag led me to consider replacing the aftermarket wheel with an STi 3 spoke wheel - which I eventually did. it is my goal however, to obtain a steering wheel from the Prodrive P2 concept vehicle. Ive been working on finding such a piece for a year now - looks like the only one they made was the one in this picture:



2: Prodrive Quick Release
This goes hand in hand with the above comments. I will add though, that the Prodrive Quick Release is simply a rebranded NRG quick release - with a $400 pricetag as opposed to a $125 one. So if i ever did consider getting an aftermarket wheel, I simply could not see spending so much money on a genuine "Prodrive" quick release, when an NRG quick release with a Prodrive sticker is the exact same thing.

3: Prodrive / Sparco one piece Carbon Fiber Bucket Seats
These were made for Prodrive, by Sparco. many people will say that these are GENUINE Prodrive WRC seats, and are used for competition, etc. . . I have done plenty or research on this and my researh has turned up the following: Prodrive (which has managed Subaru's WRC effort since the GC chassis) has NEVER, thats right, NEVER used Sparco seats in any of Subaru's WRC or competition cars. Subaru has always used RECARO seats for their cars. while they did use SPARCO for racing suits for years, and for a short while they used SPARCO harnesses, they now use Alpine Stars for Racewear, and SABELT for harnesses. So what was the purpose of these seats? they were made for the aftermarket. they were made for the JDM market as "race" seats sold by Prodrive, but made by Sparco. they were never OEM for any limited production car. all that being said - they are nice seats, and they are made well. If my car was to be used for track purposes only, I MIGHT consider them. my reasoning if i decided against them would simply be from a level of comfort, which brings me to my last point: they were made for the JDM market - which means they are NARROW. if i did get them, I would have to hit the gym like D money to be able to fit into them.

4: Prodrive / Sabelt Safety Harnesses
ok, I WANT THEESE! no really, I do. these are quite simply SABELT harnesses, with a Prodrive patch embroidered on them. I REALLY WANT THEM. only problem is that they were made for a short while, sold out quickly, and are no longer for sale. the new problem that stems from this, is that harnesses have expiration dates. once they expire, they can no longer be used for any sanctioned racing. while this isnt an issue for a car show - I do plan to attend track events, and the more established the track or club, the more heavily they will scrutinize your safety gear. So if I plan to get them, I would want them to last me as long as possible.

5: Prodrive Floor Mats
I have them. They Rock. they are in the car as I type. I also have an extra set which im hanging on to & keeping in new condition.

6: Prodrive hat
I have one. I got it FREE from Prodrive when they still had a US location. I had simply ordered a single Prodrive decal set, which consists of 2 large, and 4 small Prodrive decals which were used for badging the 2003 Prodrive edition WRX. when the BOX arrived, it had 2 sets of decals, 2 license plate frames, a T shirt, and a hat. and a hand written note thanking me for enjoying their products.



so in conclusion, of the 6 Prodrive items this guy has, I really only have interest in the harnesses. thats it.

You bumped a year old thread. Nice.

And from what you told me at Sonic, this thing is just short of a memory.
