Default Are EP3 Civic Si seats a direct bolt-in for any earlier generations?

I'm selling the stock seats from a 2002 Civic Si turned race car, and most of the requests I'm getting ask if the seats will bolt into X, Y or Z. I know that modification is required to get them to fit into an EG or EK, are there any Civics or other Hondas for which the EP3 seat is a known bolt-in?

If anyone says "do a search," I will draw a picture of you on this Post-It note and burn you in effigy. I've searched many ways and found nothing definitive. My favorite result said it could be done with two bolts and some zip ties.

They'll fit in the 7th generation Civics with minor alteration to the front mounts on the seat rails that are nearest the shifter box.

The EP3 seats are not direct bolt in any chassis. They rails will need to be modified.
