Default Prelude Seats .. Again .......Pics!!!!

Hey guys thanks for all your help when I asked about how to get my lude seats in my 93 hb .... turns out I needed to buy some self tapping screws at the hardware store and make some new mounts they are so much more snug then the old civic seats and they dont have that wierd offset head rest thing ... I am very happy with em ..... Check em out .. oh yeah I threw in a pic of my steering wheel too ........... Let me know what you think ..

how are they compared to 5th gen lude seats? 5th gen seats aren't that comfortable compared to my 92 integras.

First of I dont know about the rest of your cars but only 2 bolts matched up on my car .. the front door side and the back inside bolts ... To answer the guy who was pissed I didnt give Explicit instructions on how to do it ....
step 1 order the seats
step 2 remove the old seats
step 3 place the new seats in place
step 5 attach the bolts that do match up
step 6 use the self taping screws you got at the hardware store to attach the last 2 spots on each seat
step 7 take pictures and send them to HT so everybody can see

Under the hood
B16a hydro ....... Love it ... couldent be happier (unless somebody wants to buy me a type r engine ... nobody .. hey it was worth asking)

DC1-4 usdm headers ..... No complaints no gigantic hp gaines either ..

DAC intake........ Had this intake sence 96 still love it .. I dont care if its a short ram I like it

Tenzo R strut bar.... Love it .... much bigger and stiffer than most bars I have seen

Tanabe Super Racing medalion ...... Love it ... with the silencer in nice and quiet just over stock ... with it out .. car screams... Noticable hp gains over 5000

yes the car had power steering to begin with ... thats gone .. cruze controle is gone and ac is gone .... No complaints there ... car is so light stearing is easy .. and I use Gheto ac ... where you roll the windows up drive for about 10 min then roll them back down ... Feels ICE COLD !!!!

the seats look really good in there. but the main thin gim looking for is .....

did he use the prelude seat rails and just drill with self tapping screws into the holes that didnt line up?
or did he mean to say that he swapped over the civc rails but when he did that he had to use self tapping screws to get the civic rails to fit on the LUDE seats?

any help guy? im buying these seats tommorrow?

oh yea are those the LUDE seats in the rear as well? just curious?

I got 3 of the holes to line up, just took some elbow grease (all 135lbs of me). The rear outer ones I made a bracket for to hold down the prelude bracket and bend the 90ish degrees to the stock bolt hole.

If you try to fit the 3 bolt holes, be prepared to really stretch the front; I probably looked like a crazy contortionist pushing one rail with my foot while trying to get the other bolt in It works though

Hott seats

I never really liked the look of them and the fact that they had integrated headrests...but they look comfortable and look like the provide a good amount of lateral support

Well, I just got myself some 93 lude seats for my 97 coupe. I have to say that it seems near impossible for 3 bolts to line up at all. It is damn near impossible for 2 to fit in my car. I really don't get it... I know that JDMDXTURD has them in his car and he also said 3 bolts lined up, but oh well... My plan is to get some 3/16" crs plate and weld on some alignment brackets with holes to mount to the factory locations with the prelude rails. I'll surely take pictures for everyone to let you know how it turns out.
