I finally found a 4d worth paying money for and i've started to clean it up and upgrade a few few of the stock items

i recently found a wrecked GSR with full interior So i decided to put the leather seats and the center console in the 4d... After installation was done i realized that the stock seatbelts would not work, so now im stuck with a semi jank setup and not happy

How can i convert my auto seatbelts to just manual ones??? is their anything stock and clean that i can do???

The Car:

The Lowering Kit: LS


The Console:

Janky Seatbelt setup:

i'm in the same boat with you, i was going to make a post soon, just doing some research first...

Possibly take seat belts from another year and put them in with the correct trim peices and remove the auto crap??? i'm not sure if the bolt holes are in the b pillar or not

 

I owned one of these a long time ago. I also put in GSR leather. It was long ago, but I remember I unscrewed the auto seat belt assembly from the stock Civic seats and screwed them onto the GSR seat rails and it worked fine.It is possible, but it does take a little bit of rigging to work. I'm sorry I don't remember the exact step by step for you.

 

thats how i have it now, i just put the stock retracters on the GSR leathers. The only problem is that there is not enough room between the leather seat and the center console, to let me slide the seat back and forth and the s tupid auto seatbelts keep locking themselves. they are just starting to be a huge PITA

 

can we remove the auto belts and put others in?

i just recently tried this and the B pillar is completely different in the auto seat belt cars then the ones without them. hope that helps.

damn there aren't even any holes for the belts to go into...wtf Honda hah

 

i don't know how different the pillars are, but you may be able to slide a threaded backing plate in there and just drill a hole...similar to the oem setup. or if you're good with a cutoff wheel and welder, you can swap the pillars

 

Yeah i was hoping to do something a little more stock, like just swap the stuff, but it looks like im going to have to go with the old cut and weld.

The motor is safe i drove 6hrs like that haha and still like 35+ mpg i love this 4d

thanks for everyones input ill keep this updated

 

FUNNY I DID THE SAME THING PUT A LS IN THE TRUNK OF MY 4D, HOPEFULLY U FIND AN ANSWER 4 UR SEAT BELT ISSUE.

 

dont the 88 or 89 no auto have the belts attached to the door like the hatches? if not, why not try gettin those does? im not sure about this so dont quote me or give me **** for the idea.

 

Yeah the Ls in the back was classy, i had it back there for like 2weeks because the cherry picker was broke, doesnt' make for a smooth ride though

thats my next step thanks for the input
