Subaru STI with Ultimate Interior

The blob eye Subaru WRX STI is definitely one of our favorite cars to tinker with.  The boxxer engine has given us so much love since 2001 that we will always have a soft spot for it.  One of customers sent us some photos of his nicely modified silver Subaru STI that has been nicely modified.  The car features a Forced Performance Green turbo that takes it to a nice 350 wheel horsepower.  The Hyperflow front mount intercooler and AEM air intake give the cooling and flow that the turbo needs.  The engine roar is provided by a Agency Power Turboback exhaust with titanium muffler and inbetween shifts you know whats up from a HKS BOV.

The car has been lowered on BC Extreme low coilovers and features BC front & rear  camber plates.  Keeping the chassis stiff through the turns is a set of ESX front & rear strut bars.  Inside the car is a whole ton of custom that we love.  The STI features custom red leather seats, red suede door inserts,  and a custom black suede headiner.  The sweetest upgrade is this custom Batch 19 shift knob, and matching woodgrain Grip Royal Fortune steering wheel.  A NRG quick release & short hub allow the steering wheel to be easily removed.   Finally the exterior features a factory STi front lip spoiler, extended side skirts, and STi rear bumper diffuser.  Can you say JDM Yo!  If you dig this car make sure to leave your comments!

The Next-Level Racing Seat - Blue Carbon Backed Status Racing Seat

If you’re looking to take your interior to the next level, a set of Status Racing Seats will get you there. Yesterday Status Racing released their latest color carbon backed racing seats. You can now get your Status Icon seat with Blue color carbon! Along with the other options of standard carbon fiber, honeycomb carbon and Red carbon, you can basically customize your seat to fit any car or style.

If you saw the Red carbon when it got released the initial pictures of the backing looking bright and vibrant, when they later released pictures the color without the light, had an almost burgundy look to it. The color of the seat reacts to the light on it. The blue carbon seats are similar. You will see in the pictures below that the initial look at the backing in the sun look like a stellar blue color. Then you see them fully manufactured, and the blue looks like a navy blue. Either way, these things look mean! For the first set of blue carbon backed seats they went with the black ultra suede, blue diamond stitching and finished it off, with a filled-in blue Status logo. Check out the pictures below. Let us know what you think of the latest custom, colored carbon backed, racing seat from Status Racing. You can tell us in the comment section below or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

If you’re looking for a set of racing seats, but the icon version seems a little out of your league. You can get a standard, FIA approved, Ring seat with cloth and FRP backing for $679.00. If you’re looking for the one-of-a-kind seat, but not sure what it would look like? Status Racing pioneered the Icon Racing Seat Configurator that allows you to see the seat before you buy. Configure  your seat today! If you already have seats and are looking for harnesses, they have those too. Check them out here.

Sultry Red Recaro"s Attract Attention

Last week we wrote a blog about the new Recaro seats that became available. Apparently word spreads fast. Our sales guy Ahmed (ahmed@vividracing.com – ext:231) just sent us these pictures of a customer’s, exceptional Recaro creation. He went with the Recaro Sportster CS. The Sportster is the more luxurious sport seat, compared to the Recaro Profi or Pro Racer editions. You still feel like you’re in a race seat because of the quality of material and shape of the seat. The functionality will make it more useful for daily, and long distance use. Some of the features you can look forward to in your set of Sportster CS are manual seat back adjustment, strongly contoured shoulder support and electric heating.

This customer decided to switch-up the regular look of CS to fit his own style. He wanted a more pronounced statement for his interior. The Imola Red is the perfect choice to make your Sporster seats standout beyond the standard black leather look. Although the seat shape already gains some attention the Imola Red subconsciously demands attention where ever it goes.  The contrast of the white car to the sultry red on the interior makes this car a eye catching statement car.
