Wow. I been doin that for years. Glad to see I'm not the only one.lookin good

 

you no rust people are lucky.

if you did that to an east coast car it would rust out from that spot you drilled.

cool writeup.

 

you should have some big washers on the ends of your bolts. Looks good though. A lot easier than what I did.

I cut the rivets holding the sliders to the rails on all 4 seats and swapped them. I had to make some bracket extensions to get the sliders to mount to the factory locations. worked good, but took way too long.

 

Nice write up ill be doing this soon.

 

that doesn't look too safe. lets hope that you never get into crash.

 

i have a couple of safty consurns about this install #1 your using a wooded spacer to hold your seat up a solid metal one would be better any good machine shop could make/get you one and #2 the way the bolt go's into the floor
in a wreck thats going to rip out of the floor so i would sugest cutting say a 1/8 or 1/4 steel plate to go under the car, inbetween the nut and the floor that would provide a greater surface area for it and keep the bolt from ripping out of the foor in an accadent not trying to diss your write up just trying to improve on your idea btw good write up

 

haha hey man I kinda ripped your topic name . All in good humor. Hope you don't take offense. I got my HOW TO posted let me know what you think

hella dangerous without em.


funny thing, two threads with the exact same title...... different write ups. lol different authors.

 

Damn i dont kno about doing all that but they do look good in your car oh yah the car looks damn nice to

 

i agree, some plates or big washers on the bottom of the bolt(by the nut) would be good. im not too worried about the wood though, in an accident i don't think it would be much worse than anything else.

 

Havent you ever heard of washers and backing plates? Your install is totally unsafe.

 

Yeah, I know. The install could have been done with more caution and safety measures, but I just wanted to get them in so bad that I rushed it. A common mistake many people make and I'm guilty of it. The seats themselves are actually pretty f*ing solid the way they are mounted now, but there is no sense in taking the chance during an accident.
Although I didn't use any washers for the rear bolts, I still suggested to anybody who is doing this to do so. Underneath the car does have washers although it's hard to tell from the pic I provided. Sometime in the near future I will take the time to add some wide heavy gauge washers and finally spray paint the wooden dowel pieces

To the dude that ripped off my topic name....what gives?

 

wow dood, you really need to redo this. That's so unsafe, for your family's sake go fix your car. You get into an accident, the bolts are going threw the floor-pan, you will most likely die and when you do you will look like a moron who screwed his seats to his car.


please go fix your car, that's really stupid

 

who the **** are you...the safety police? did you read the post just above yours? you basically repeated what I said I would do. **** off

 

I wonder if it would be better to use a stack of washers or spacers instead of the wooden dowel? Temporarily of course, until you find something metal to replace it with.

 

i was pondering this myself...a bit ghetto, but with a few minor safety precautions i think it'll do!

btw what center console is that? i want one for my car since it has that ugly gap between the climate control and the shifter console as well as no armrest.

I'm the one that ripped your thread name. I stated that i did it not trying to be rude. If you notice what i wrote i wrote it as "88-89 EF" and I put "ghetto welds but effective"

It's a '94-01 Integra console.

That is very unsafe not only in that you are using a wooden dowel as a spacer, but in the fact that you aren't using backing plates (NOT WASHERS.) The next thing is you can't just use any type of bolt you find at Home Depot or OSH or wherever on your seat. You need to at least be using Grade 8 hardware, which is not what you'll typically find at your local hardware store.
The acceleration experienced by the seat and your body in a collision are tremendous, and wooden dowels, standard bolts and tiny washers are flat out not up to the task. If you hit a standing object at much over 20mph, your seat is going to rip from it's mounts and you'll probably fly through the windsheild. If you don't care about yourself at least don't carry any passengers with your car in this state.

 

okay, since you ***** do nothing but leave negative feedback about how unsafe the install is then maybe I will remove it....maybe then you'll be happy.

 

as if you get offended by people trying to possibly save your life. ungrateful people like you shouldnt be allowed to voice their opinions

not that I don't appreciate the concern, but when the same thing gets repeated over and over it tends to get a little old. i am well aware of the safety issue and i made it clear on more than one occasion. seems like people are more concerened with whoring up a thread with the same bullshit that's already been said than actually caring for someone's wellbeing. all i ask is that you read the entire thread and realize you're not doing anyone a favor by jumping on the bandwagon of what's already been acknowledged. i took time out of my hectic schedule to do a simple write up in hopes that it would help someone out but all i got in return is grief from ungrateful keyboard mechanics who probably have never contributed anything to this site themselves.
bottom line: if you got nothin' nice to say, dont say it. especially if it's already been addressed.

 

LMAO. You really cleared your how-to post????? That is funny ****.
