my "Honda factory racing seats" 56k go home

Just put in the si seats, and thought id take some pics. For those of you that dont know, the 02-05 civic si seats bolt directly into the 7th gen only minor fabrication needed on two of the bolts (one on each seat). In my opinion they are much more comfortable than any racing seat, plus they look badass. I picked mine up for 455 shipped on ebay. here some shitty pics. Ill get some clean ones up of the car when the rain is done.

No Side bags, they are optional.

Looks good.

Ok, in the 7th gen there are 4 bolts that tie the seat rails down to the car. 2 in the front and 2 in the back.


the bolt pictured with the yellow X is the one that needs fabrication. (pics shown are on drivers side). Heres a close up



As you can see the hole doesnt exactly line up. After spending 2 minutes reaming the hole, the fitment is perfect. thats all there is to it.

No, i didnt get the backseats they dont fit the 7thgen. our backseat holds 3 and the si holds two. these are the cheapest ive ever seen them go for. 355 with 100 shipping coast to coast in 3 days. they retail for 2200 from honda

Wow, those seats are hawt!!! I looked on ebay and the only auction I could find was someone with bids and the BIN is set at $650. Booo!!!!

Seriously, those look better than a lot of the "racing seats" out there. I'm jealous.

EP3 seats always looked nice and are very comfortable and supportive..... but you would say they are better than some Sparco seats?

They are nice seats but they are not more comfortable than real racing seats. I've sat on SI seats and they are comfortable but if you take some sharp turns you will be thrown around on the seat. The best thing I bought for my car were my corbeau CR1 seats but anyway enjoy the seats.
