Just purchased CRX SI seats :D

Whoo hoo! I'm getting new seats. I was lucky enough to find a pair of CRX SI seats for 280$ They're in pretty good condition from the pictures, just a little surface wear in the butt spot of the drivers one.

How do the seatbelts mount to these seats?

Any other tips before I dive into a seat swap?

Thanks, rxKaffee

seems fair. I paid $350 for mine but I wouldn't say they are worn. These are not just Honda seats. These are CRX SI seats. The only Honda seat worth using, and they are kinda rare.

I had a thread on this specific seat install.

They are Recaros. Its not written on the seat anywhere, but they were made by Recaro for Honda OEM installation.

I found that there was another model that also had these same seats, but cannot remember its name at the moment. The CRX VVR or something like that has some nice looking seats, almost identical to the recars except some leather/synthetic material. Dunno about size though.

The Civic DelSol SI also came with Recaro's but it's more rare than the Civic SI.

Anyway, nearly any seat from a 1990's+ Honda is better than the stock 1980's seats that came in the Z's. Usually better lumbar and better side bolsters. Of course, if you have the stock seats re-covered, you can get the side bolsters and lumbar built up to your requirements for not much more than the cost of the junk yard Honda seats if you use cloth or synthetic leather instead of real leather.

Ice's interior guy quoted me $200/seat to rebuild them to my requirements a year ago.

the junk yards around here charge $15ea for seats from any car. You can't beat that, if you can find decent Honda seats. I think the day a Honda arrives the vultures rip the seats out.

Anyone have a short blurb on what I'm going to need to do to get these seats installed and working with the seatbelts? Justa basic summary of teh procedure would really make me feel better about tearing apart my interior.

I tried... "crx" and "si" are both too short for the search to search on, it just drops them from the keyword list... Pretty much leaves ya with a search for "seats" :/

Thanks for the link though

If you have an AK47 just have it slung over your shoulder... no need to conceal it.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with that either... it should link you to some awesome animations of prospective anti-theft devices... bummer

Hey Rod, no offense man, but when I clicked on that link you posted. My Avast warned me of a virus detected, so I didn't proceed any further. I just wanted you to be aware of it.
