It would probably be an easy task for an auto trimmer to swap the heater pads out of the stock seats and install into the sportsters.

These are the guys I used... surely there must be a similair company in the U.S.?

Yes, Yuki was unable to ship the 2013 tS Recaro's as well. The company I used specialise in importing half cuts and other parts into Australia from Japan and run a container service.

For the airbag part, the Nissan Juke Nismo RS in North America with the Recaro seats might be an option.

it MUST BE POSSIBLE TO find a Real "Ts Owner" who can order some parts for us !!!!!

I checked the price in those a while back. Really pricey. I think they were almost $6800 before taxes for the pair.

Good luck. When a tS owner orders a part that is restricted for sale to the general public, they actually send a representative to verify there is a legitimate reason for that person buying it. So it's not as simple as an owner walking in and buying parts

That really sucks. You'd think Subaru Global wouldn't have an issue selling all the tS parts considering they could probably price them with a gigantic markup and people will pay it, just because its tS.

I can't complain about their strategy. If anything, SoJ and STi are jumping through hoops to reward their enthusiast drivers by keeping things actually exclusive to their owners, so I applaud them for doing it.


I consider us very lucky that they've allowed as many parts as they've had for general purchase. Keep that in mind, as a former owner of a 2015 WRX, I would have been driven nuts by the fact only a very small fraction of the S207 parts are available for purchase.


Really the only parts that aren't for sale is anything that is actually "tS" badged. Even the seats are for sale; the only reason we can't get them in the US (or have to work very hard to get them) is because the normal distribution channels won't take the liability for shipping them due to it being classified as a dangerous good. It has nothing to do with Subaru.

Not surprising. With German cars we used to goto great lengths to buy European spec parts and have them ship over from Germany, cuz the local dealers here have no access to order them (even though the part will show up on the computer at the counter). They were grey imports where they deliberately erase the part number on the actual part prior to shipping.

It must be legality issue, as Trap mentioned like no safety certification for the parts on the car model at our side of the pond.

The tS badge might show up for sale probably 10 years from now on the web (e.g. check Rakuten I see a bunch of old Subaru and STI badging / decals for sale).

-Black Ts Fender Garnish
- Pink Grill Pin Stripe

Hi Thomas..you need to agree with me that Japan defends very very well proper brand as anyone does. If, we, in Italy would have the same will to defend our brand in the same way, maybe you'll eat real Parmiggiano not fake Carolina milk cheese.....or fake Munchner WeissBier as some people use to drink.
In Italy some parts of Abarth 500 Biposto ($65.000,00) are impossible to buy in the same way but Tributo Ferrari's (parts)..... a lot of them instead.
It's difficult to understand as European (we defend nothing - Ferrari and Lambo excluded..., see TTP incoming agree) or American people.
