Any updates on this ? Im going to pickup a set of the rsx seats soon.


There are new carpets all over ebay for 2gs and 1gs.

Still too cold up here to begin.

On top of that, we're expecting another 15cm snow storm tonight.

This time last year pub patios were open and we saw 20*-30*.

I promise I'll document every step I take with this project.

One thing I can tell you, I have yet to determine the seat belt configuration I'll use.

To be on the safe side, I kept the RSX latch's and cut the belts from the RSX to possibly utilize the clips.

Now, if I can get those clips (rsx) onto my cars belts, we're in business. Otherwise I'll have to use the grey buckles from Rob's car (his old seats) by mounting those onto the rsx seats.

Does anyone know if the clip can be removed from the 2G seat belt?

I am going to make the assumption that the internals of the belt are identical to the 1g.
So all you will need to do is fully unwind the belt then then you slide it out, there is a little weight at the end of the belt. Once you take that off the clip will slide off and then the other clip will slide on.
If you can get a buddy to help that would probably be best that way they can hold the winder(or whatever it's called) in place while you switch the clips.

Interesting Bryan. I'll report my findings when the time comes.

Thanks for the tip

If you are disassembling the RSX belts be very careful there is explosive tensioner built in. I highly don't recommend fracking with them. Or at least deploy them first.

I actually sent the car to the wreckers already. I ended up taking a knife to the belt to take off the clip for the buckle. Buckle is still attached to the seats.

Whoa, wtf is in that thing, what is the purpose of the explosive tensioner!?

If that was in your face, it would've hurt.

The purpose of it is to pull you back in the seat opon SRS deployment. They can deploy regardless if the airbag pops or not. The buckle also has one.

Yeah no worries, can't wait to see some progress pictures!

I was wondering what all the harnesses under the seat were for. I mean, I know there's the side air bag and heater elements but my god, there's at least 4 pig tails under there. Obviously one for the buckle to acknowledge the belt buckle is clipped in.

Safe to say, I won't be using ANY of those safety features

But I do plan to wire up the heaters.

Just wanted to update.

I finally got most of my other projects finished.

I plan to start tackling this project next. Someone gave me the motivation I needed to finish it.

My front drivers seat is installed

Get on it Mike

Best part of the RSX seats is you can rig up a read-out for the passanger weight sensor.. so you are sure not bring home any Fatties.

LOL that's gold!

Hahahahahaha!!!

LOOOL Nice!!

Are the seats the same in the prelude? Theres a prelude with a wide body kit and fancy headlamps and scoops stuck to it at my local wreckers. Its got seat that look like thos but more of a racing seat style. Maybe the preludes come with more of a racing seat... or maybe these are aftermarket? They have the forward recline button located on the top of the seat rater then on the base.

Take a pic and post the seats you speak of at the wreckers, they may be integra type R seats, very rare and desired seats in the Honda world, especially if they are red.

I think they are blue with red pin strips. Ill be going back in a week.

They're likely just A/M seats.

Local wrecker here has em for $40 for a set...hmmm....

What condition are they in?

They typically fetch $300-$600

Still not installed mike? Bet u 100 bux they never get installed

It's in the works!

So thats a no, you dont wanna bet?

bet em ENG

If your going to be there needs to be a due date!

I like this. We should place bets on more activities/builds here on the board! INCENTIVE!

I bet your Spyder won't be done by Monday morning...

That was never the plan Evo tranny swap this weekend and drop the tranny from the Sypder and/or POR all necessary parts (rear sub frame, control arms, tcase and tranny.)
The installing will take place next week (16g, fluidyne, suspension, AWD components) Oh boy will she ever need an alignment. lol. Then repair the hood and touch up the paint

so Monday evening...

hahaha. Axles pending...

They are cloth and I don't think the local wrecker gives a crap (good for me). There's 3 or 4 out there.

I should say I want cloth as that's what my car has, I'm not a big fan of leather.

My big worry is head room though. I'd like to get them sitting lower then stock, at least on the driver side.

Rob accomplished getting them lower than the stockers.

Check out his OCD thread.

But be prepared for customizing the floor.

I gotta say, rsx seats are the most comfortable and visually appealing seats in any production sub compact car out there. Just my opinion of course.



I would snatch all of those up and well... you can guess the rest

Fiesta ST has MUCH nicer seats

how did you like the rest of the interior Sal, I hear it's not too great.
Plus I heard the arm rest is pretty far back and unusable.

The only one I've been in was a tester almost a year and a half ago. Was in it in Michigan, after it had just come back from 5000km of testing on the Nurburgring and a bunch more through Death Valley and other tough terrain. Had all sorts of insane and awesome gadgetry in it, so I can't comment, but from what I recall, it was overall pretty nice. Shifter had a nice feel and the seats were wicked.

Kinda like the discussion in the Evo thread, you're not buying this car for its interior

haha, this is true!

I might grab them, for $40 you can't go wrong.
