Subaru Impreza with MOMO Atlantis Seats

 

The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that was first introduced by Subaru in 1993.

The Impreza was introduced after the popular Leone/Loyale was cancelled with the aging EA series engine. The Impreza was introduced with the popular EJ series engine found in the larger Subaru Legacy.

Subaru is the only company that can claim that their drivetrain is symmetrical for this class size of vehicle.

Compared to vehicles in a similar size class such as Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, Hyundai Elantra and Mazda Protege/Mazda3, only the Impreza has always offered AWD, and as of 1996 Subaru made this feature standard equipment in some markets.

Subaru chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the Impreza. According to Subaru, their configuration of the engine inline with the transmission minimizes body roll due to the lower center of gravity compared with offset engines in most other vehicles. The Subaru layout is also light-weight and lends itself easily to support all-wheel-drive, with power delivered directly to the front and rear wheels, using an integrated transfer case located inside the transmission. The boxer design provides perfect vibration mitigation due to the fact that the movement of each piston is exactly countered by the corresponding piston in the opposing cylinder bank, eliminating the need for a counter-rotating weighted crankshaft (harmonic balancer). Torque steer is also reduced with this type of power train layout since the front drive shafts are of equal length and weight.

If you are truly looking to style up your Impreza, then good custom seats are a logical upgrade.  There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use.  Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.

Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Atlantis racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits.  Because Atlantis racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.

MOMO Atlantis Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Atlantis seats will need to latch to a seats rail, which is car specific.  Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your Atlantis aftermarket seats.

MOMO Seats, the maker of the popular Atlantis seats is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seats industry.  Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Atlantis seats but few succeed.   

The new Atlantis tuning seat provides the look and feel of a competition seat in a non-FIA package. To ensure many years of security the Atlantis is constructed of tubular steel and fiberglass.  The high quality fabric has Kinder Point inserts at key wear areas for protection. The seat back has box quilting for a classic look while the thick base pad and built in thigh support will provide miles of comfort.  To finish off the look, MOMO is embroidered in yellow stitch across the headrest.  The Atlantis is a bottom -mount seat and has 4 harness holes.  Weighing in at only 17 pounds, its one of the lightest seats available.
