Default I just bought a 88 CRX shell! Just a few questions...

1.Will I need to use a different intake on the car? I plan on using a 95 Civic D15 in it. I have the 95 Civic short ram, but was wondering about fitment issues. (I've seen the CRX Si's short ram and it looks way different.)
2. It didn't have the stock seats. (The old owner was using a Del Sol driver side seat with only one bolt holding it in! The other side is a Integra passenger side seat with only two bolts holding it down!) What can I do for seats? Will 95 Civic seats fit? Will 90 CRX Si seats fit? Or will I have to find 88 CRX seats?
Any help will be appreicated!

Okay I figured the 95 Civic seats wouldn't fit if the Del Sol seats didn't. So now I was wondering if the 90 CRX Si seats would work.

ok I got 91 prelude seats in my car and there welded in and i heard rsx seats are direct bolt up and I think thats true for future refrence. and if you have a 91 crx the 88 si seats wont fit but you dont care about that 88-89 si will sork and any stock crx seats will work dx hf whatever I know of. And integra seats prelude seats del sol seats I know wont work maybe one hole or what or u weld them I am painting the whole inside of my car tomorrow so I think I might be breaking my seats out thats if I can find a crx seat or what but thats all I can tell you. I hope you find more usefull info. Lata

Nearly any similar-sized seats will fit in your car. Some adjusting, seat pan swaps, and drilling may be required, that is all. I have S2000 seats in my car, it isn't really that hard to put any seat in your CRX if you have a drill with some nuts, bolts, and washers.

I could see if my dad wants to weld the del sol and the integra seats in. He's the best welder I know of that will do the work for free. I want the job done the cheapest way possible, since this is just going to be my winter car. Anyone know about fitment issues on the short ram?

If the battery is moved into the back of the car, do you think the 95 D15 Short Ram will work in the CRX?

only problem is the motor isnt in yet. other wise I'd know the answer already. (I kinda wanted to know before hand so I could order a intake if I need to, that usually takes a week or two. I'd be able to sell the car Im driving now even faster. I dislike driving with no filter. )

I'm pretty sure the intake will fit if the battery is relocated to the back. i'm using the same intake in my car w/o issues.

Thats CRX_1.8T's car. I want to do the same thing for mine though, I like the red seats better then the black seats. Usually you can find them on ebay for sale, but they get pretty expensive.

Hey guys sorry I havnt posted pics. I forgot about this thread and just randomly checked it... So here's the pics.





I bought them off of a rich guy who happened to be turnng his S2000 into a carbon fiber time attack car. I picked them up for $600. I could have got black but my whole car is extremely, well, black and I wanted at least one thing of color somewhere haha. What is kinda cool is that they are not too noticeable because I have a very dark tint on the car. I have put my full interior back in since those pics from last year up there were posted, obviously.
