Thanks everyone,

We have a Warn 9500XP in the bar, the number plate is on hinges and flips up to reveal the fairlead.

We went with ATZ's mainly due to the big price difference in that size, also as the car is used as a daily driver we decided to go with the all terrains. The 4 ribs are actually quite aggressive if you look at them in person.

It goes really well with the chip, good bang for your buck. It sounds good without the muffler and it feels like it has less turbo lag too. Previously when under heavy acceleration you could hear the exhaust straining to get the gas out, now it sounds more free flowing

Rob

Have you got any photos of the battery under the passenger seat? How did you secure it? I'm looking for somewhere for mine and was thinking about under the rear seats but then you can'd fold the rear seats down.

The battery under the seat is an optima yellow top lying on its side. Not sure exactly how it is secured but it uses some sort of clamp system similar to the usual way of holding a battery down. Hard to get pictures but this is the best I can do

May be a dumb question, but in replacing the seats with the buckets you got there, can you still raise/lower the driver seat - the same way you can with the stock seats?

Yes because the WRX seat has raise and lower adjustment as well. If the seat didn't have that then you could no longer adjust it
