I would like some feedback on how they fit compared to the stock seats (which I love) and how you mounted your harnesses. Thanks. k/tcr

me too....

but I really like our stock Si seats.... alot of people actually like the stock si seats....

k20fg · 02-11-2008, 12:28 AM

Looks like not to many people have seats yet .. I've been looking for rails and can't find any. Not into hacking up my stock seats and re-welding to the aftermarket ... and usually aftermarket seat rails lower the seat so guess I'll keep searching. k/tcr

there are airbags in the stock seats which people dont like to mess around with

fishnbird · 02-11-2008, 01:31 AM

don't have any good pics...

airbag warning light is on all the time though...seat position sensor and side airbag sensor are both disconnected.

k20fg · 02-11-2008, 02:17 AM

element, yeah I forgot about the airbags until you reminded me.. hehe thanks

fishnbird, I am curious on how the harness is working .. and what did you do about the seat belt alarm? Thanks and that bride is sick.

***azndawei*** · 02-11-2008, 02:23 AM

bride seats ftw

20strong · 02-11-2008, 02:28 AM

Are there any seats on the market that have a airbag in them?

fishnbird · 02-11-2008, 02:40 AM

seat alarm is not a problem. DD, i still use the stock belt. at the track, i use the harness AND the stock belt so the alarm doesn't go off. ideally, you'd want to get a buckle from a junkyard and just stick that on like a key.

mix · 02-11-2008, 02:43 AM

u can put a resistor in there so the light will go away. there is how to's for horn air bags srs lights. same process.

***jrotax101*** · 02-11-2008, 09:35 AM

could you post a picture of the harness from behind the seat, where its mounted?

Thank you

***7002iSciviC*** · 02-11-2008, 10:32 AM

i dont get it at all..... why would you put an aftermarket seat on your new 8th gen civic ??????????????????. is your Si's seats not good enough for you? its just a waste of money for me just get a wheels instead geezuz

***jrotax101*** · 02-11-2008, 11:14 AM

Its just the same as people doing a JDM conversion, or the 100's of people who have the red JDM emblems.
People do what they want to make their car unique

JDM emblem costs far less, and doesn't remove a safety component.

change your seat is just a REDICOLOUS WAY TO WASTE YOR MONEY just put your money in your gast tank, it will be A LOT MORE USEFUL AND NOT A WASTE !!!!!

friedk · 02-11-2008, 03:52 PM

It's their car. Everyone buys the mods they think are worth it. Some of your mods aren't going to seem worth it to other people.

Please sit in a pair of Brides or Recaros before you talk about how "REDICOLOUS" it is.

It seems Fishnbird tracks his car. What's so crazy about buying racing seats when you track your car?

jspecFG · 02-11-2008, 05:22 PM

You anit' going no where.

berlinas2k2 · 02-11-2008, 05:35 PM

seats aren't rediculous if you plan on using it for the track, as they have harness pass through, since stock seats don't... *that is unless you have a JDM Mugen RR, which will prob never see the track

fishnbird · 02-12-2008, 11:31 AM

sorry jrotax...i don't have pics of the harness at the rear as of now. I have Scroth Rallye 4, so that should help you in searching for how it mounts onto the car. It's got a quick release at the back, so i can still use my rear seat when i'm not using the harness. Racing seats are a big performance enhancement at the track btw.

***jrotax101*** · 02-12-2008, 12:59 PM

thanks - i was wondering if you were able to have rear passengers in or not
