Icon3 EK4 SiR race interior?

So i have just found pictures of a EK4 interior that i havnt seen beofre. it is from an Ek4 Sir and is called the race interior i guess. does anyone have any info or links for this interior? it looks pretty nice and maybe cheaper that the CTR/ITR seats ans interiors that are normally for sale.
this is one link i have found but the interior is unavailable right now.
please tell me what you know!!

^x2. I went to the web site where that pic is from and they don't even call it a "race interior". Just EK4 SiR seats.

Yep, standard EK4 interior. Might be different country to country, but I've never head of an SiR Race.

OP, there is something called a Type R Race (also called a Type R N1) though and they have different interiors.

You'll be thrilled to discover it's just a lower trim interior in an EK9 though.

And exterior, such as steelies instead of alloys.

Neither of those seats look like they have any more bolstering than the stock USDM seats.

You should get 94-01 Integra seats. They offer a little more bolstering. They're not going to bolt all up (4 bolts) unless you swap out the inner rails on both seats. That in itself should only take about 30 mins.

Those are not EK9 seats.

If you want seats to hold you in place, go for a pair of EK9 Recaros and call it a day.

The EK9 Race Base did not get the Recaros as well as other CTR interior items.

If you want something that will hold you in place, look for something like del Sol seats, Prelude seats or S2000 seats. Those would all do better than stock Civic couch cushions.

I couldn't tell you how to make them all fit though.

ok but do SiR or ek4 seats hold any better? i bought NRG recaro knock offs and i am... less than happy to say the least with them. but i dont really want to spend 1000$ on CTR/ITR seats. so what is a better option?
has anyone heard of using 05 and up civic seats in an ek?

I already gave you some other options from stock Hondas.

If you do some searches I'm sure you can find more info on each seat swap.

Seats with more bolstering which are pretty common to swap into our cars:
- Prelude seats (pretty much 1984 and up have more bolstering)
- S2000 seats
- Integra seats
- del Sol seats

If 7G ('01-'05) Civic seats are at all like RSX seats, the bolt holes will not all match up, which will leave you (and your passenger) in unsafe seats. I'd highly recommend against that.

The problem is the Vi-RS (EK3) is a sedan only. These seats are hatch seats.

There's a few differences.

Sedan rear seats have a fixed bolster on the upper section. You can see it in the photo I'm providing of a Vi-RS.

The Vi-RS does not have removable headrests like some hatches had.

Hatches have a 50/50 split.

The Vi-RS has a built in armrest in the middle of the rear seat.

Hatches had little ***** on the top corners of the upper sections, which were used to unlock the fold down rear seat. Sedans (and coupes) do not have this.

Real Vi-RS rear seats in the original Vi-RS.

Though I don't have a good photo of a rear seat, it does appear that some EK4 (SiR) hatches did have this seat pattern as well.
