I dont know how to do it, but you can, because in the new Honda Tuning there is a 7th gen civic with the Sparco Turino seats in it.

It's really easy. Buy the seats.. by the sliders.. follow the directions on mounting that come with the sliders.. takes about 45 minutes tops to install a pair of seats.

The Sparco's have brackets & sliders specifically made for the 2001 EX Coupe, a perfect fit. Most of the others do not.

well, here's my experience. I bought a pair of racing seats for 315 bucks, they came with the universal brackets. but they don't fit, it was not even a little bit off, it was way off. so I found a muffler guy to make some brackets that can bolt th seats on my car, and he charged me only 50 bucks. before that, I was looking for sparco brackets, and they cost me around $125 each. so, if you guys are buying sparco seats, then just get their brackets, don't waste time. but if you are buying some cheap seats as I did, get something called "universal brackets" which were not universal, do some mods, you'll get it done, don't waste money. now my ride looks nice with those seats on, I like it.
but... the poor thing about it was I broke up with my girl because of these seats....

hehe racing seats in my 2k1 would look goofy with the beige.

However Im a cheap bastard and got Del Sol seats for my Si. Serves the same purpose.

The Sparco seat brackets are like 80 a piece from Wedge Engineering, but the thing is they're on back order forever- Wedge Eng. makes most of the good brackets found in the market today. BTW most seats sliders are a seperate piece than the seat bracket. The brackets bolt to the bottom of the sliders so the seats will fit into any car as long as there are brackets for that car.

ok, something more I wanna tell you guys, the brackets from sparco will fit on our cars, but they might not fit on non-sparco seats. and the seats in my car are way too low, I can't even see my front hood....

I didn't mean to sound like I was saying to get the Sparco hardware for a non-Sparco seat, I'm sure that wouldn't work.
