We should go ahead and remove "restomod" from the title. He painted a rare colored hatch Yellow.

 

 

I'm in exactly the same position. I don't really fit in the Recaros though... Maybe I should stop lifting?


Nah

 

 

I have DC2 Mint seats. I had them on my build post but that photobucket bs happened. If your ever in cali, Ill throw a good deal. Im iffy on shipping. Im not going with them and decided to do CTR red ones......i think...... i kinda want a low max recline able but im not down to pay 1200 a seat especially seeing im the only one in the car when i drive it and i wont do mismatch seats....... shrug. This is why the car is sitting.... lol.

 

I've been looking into DC5/EP3 Recaros, they just seem so bulky compared to EK9/DC2.I may even grab a set from one of our DC1 Integras, they're the same as US ITR.

 

ugly

 

I didn't think the ITR rears fit that well? Looks good!

 

 

 

I just weighed some seats for you. EP3 Recaro was 44 lbs, EK9 Recaro was 40 lbs, US ITR was 33 lbs. So really, the DC5/EP3 Recaros are only 4 lbs heavier per seat than the EK9/DC2. And they aren't near as snug as the EK9. So maybe they're still a viable option.

 

Also, EP3 has this neat slider



I just sat in the EP3, and it feels way nice. Not too tight in the thighs, and plenty of room for broad shoulders.

 

ep3/dc5 might be the way to go then! Thanks for the photos and test fit that's mighty handy to have them all nearby you

 

How would you all compare the bolstering from the DC2 to the ep3? I've been leaning towards the Integra seats because these Ek SI seats are basically park benche, but haven't sat in anything else. Will I see any improvement?

Also, what about Del Sol seats? I'm 6'1", 190lbs if yall think it matters.

 

Idk about the Sol seats. EP3 isn't bolstered as agressively as EK9, but way better than stock EG/EK/DC. Here's a pic next to base RSX seats.

 

 

Yeah you can definitely tell the difference there.

I think Integra clean LS or GSR seats are gonna be my choice mainly because of how much cheaper they are. I have spare rails so I can probably make most of money back selling my SI seats.

I've been thinking about just putting the rear seats back in, I don't really wanna compete in the SMF class, don't have the wallet for it ha. Having the rear and front seats match is a big deal for me, how much do you guys think getting the rear seats reupholstered would be? Unless there is a color combo that looks good that isn't leather...

 

I say you do ITR rears like me :p but it sucks and is taking a lot more work than expected.

Someone in GDD brought these up and I am tempted to run them. The name brand is hard to live with although the color scheme is perfect.

 

There are only so many ITR sedan bottoms, haha! Those look good, I'd be worried about the fixed back, but I don't think you're daily-ing yours.

 

 

Didnt even think of that issue, just have them come through the hatch! lol

 

Just buy my Recaro Pole Positions.

$1000 + shipping. Red velour. Will come with rails and sliders for your EK.

 

The **** would you road trip with more than 2 people in your race car.

That's what you have the CTR for
