Nope, I'm buying an HDS tool and going to fix it myself since it's on both cars. I'll be able to use the tool for other things too like calibrating my ZDX throttle body.

if you turn the key on while the seats are out, itll show an open circuit for the airbag light hence triggering the srs light. Put the whole interior back in and disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to be safe and try again. Chances are if the open circuit is resolved, then the light will go away. I had the same problem when I was testing for remote turn on for the amp and the seat was still out...

Mine went away after disconnecting the battery. Let me know! Car looks awesome man! I wish i had a black interior car to swap with when i bought mine

Haven't updated this thread in awhile although I have been super busy with my car(s). Finally got my black car all clayed, corrected, sealed, waxed, and up and listed for sale.

Here's some farewell pictures that I took.

Bye nbp! Now the kbp has your full attention!

This last week I visited my buddy in SD, who has an 07 WRX STI. I hadn't driven MT in a while and drove it around town for a bit - It was a LOT of fun to drive. Later that night, I remembered how you got a 6MT and are selling the 5AT, and seriously contemplated doing the same for a good hour haha. I think I'll try to be content though
Any new projects coming up for the KBP?

Of course amigo ^

I have plenty of stuff planned for this sucker. I got all the "easy" stuff (LEDs, suspension, bolt ons, etc) out of the way and it's on to the fun stuff now. Winter is going to lend me some time to further my research and plan out the rest of my build. A low boost, high efficiency application has been in the back of mind for awhile now. Aesthetically, I don't feel like this car requires that much more but regardless I've got some cool stuff planned over the next couple weeks before the final car show.

The interiors are both in better homes now. The two tone tan interior looks better in the NBP as the black interior looks better in the KBP.

Yeah, on stock type-s rims, 255/40-17 tires, 0 degrees of camber all around, dropped roughly 2.25". You can run all the way up to 275 tires or even wider possibly. I've 275 drag radials on a type-s before though.

Little update for you guys, I've been busy with my car

New wheels with Michelin XICE X-i3 snow tires, gloss black 1080 3M vinyl wrapped roof, 3m 1080 carbon fiber wrapped grille, and a few other things
