strait swap? did you have to swap the seat rails or pans to get them to work or did you make custom brackets? GREAT FIND!

i got brake cleaner on my pants before and it ate a hole straight through. you sure you want to use it on those seats?

also, did you just drill into the floorpan and bolt the seat down? do you notice that you sit any higher in the seats?

Those seats look great!!!
As for the stain, I detail cars,and best that I can say is that you might try some Simple Green degreaser(nondaluted).Don't soak it just spray were needed and use a nylon bristle scrub brush to aggitate the stain.Soak it up with a CLEAN cloth.repeat as needed ubtil lifted out of material.It wouldn't hurt if you used a wet/dry shop vac after letting it soak for a minute in degreaser

thanks a lot for all the replies... the seats are sooooo comfortable and they look sooooo much better... i tried to swap the seat rails but i dont know much about seats and what not and i got confused half way through so i just decided to drill new holes... seats dont move at all ... i did notice that i sit up just a bit higher but not too much... i hasnt bothered me a bit... ive been trying to find a place to mount my gauges for a while(i did want to mount them where everyone else did) and was about to just mount them on the a pillar but i saw this gauge pod at my buddies and he didnt want it so i took it and new where i was putting it... turns out that it looks pretty nice... its not distracting and it just takes a quick glance down there to see their readings... thanks everyone for trying to help me get the stain out... i think im going to go with the "professional detailers" advice and try some simple green(nondiluted), a clean towel, and a shopvac... ill post pics of how it turns out when i get a chance... thanks again for all the comments

man i live in lima, ohio... theres about 10 junkyards around here that i can think of but only about three of them carry imports... ive searched through all of them multiple times and just now happened to find this car... i also found a crx but it looks like most of the interior has been taken out... im going back for the door panels most likely... just try to keep your head up and always always always haggle with the guys at the junkyard ... act like youre poor and you are $5-10 short of what theyre asking for the part... if they dont budge then come back in a day or two saying that you found some extra money... it always works for me
-Josh


BTW- ive been told that that '93 4 door ls i got the seats out of is being crushed in the next week or two... if anyone wants the b18a out of it let me know... it is an automatic but ive been told that the engine is still good... ill find out how much they want for it and let anyone know who pm's me... ill pull the motor and ship it at YOUR COST... but i bet i can get it pretty cheap for you guys... let me know if there's any interest(ill also post this in the for sale section)

Its funny how in other states they really don't have a lot hondas in the junkyards, but even if they do they markup the prices like the parts are new. I go to a local junkyard around my way and they always have hondas/acuras in but they make you pay a little more "sometimes"
Prime example my friend got a rear disk brake conversion off a 94 integra for $40.
I bought black carpet out of a 93 civic coupe for $25.
The place I go to usually has a "PULL OTHON" and they charge $35 for whatever you can carry out. I went nuts the last time and filled a whole bunch of industry black trash bags with parts. They looked at me like I was crazy but I got a bunch of stuff for dirt cheap. Only problem is you have to get stuff when it comes in because people strip and rape cars uncontrollably. A meaningless post , but........
