Alright guys, I have a set of CRX seats sitting in my basement, which I've had for a while. Problem is I have no idea what year CRX they came from. How can I tell, just from the seats themselves, what year they're from? I don't have the rails. Is there a way to tell just from the pan? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mark D.

 

to tell if its a 88' seat is look at the rails, if one of the rails moves freely its a 88. on a 89-91 seat both rails get locked and only move when you pull the release

 

gets pics then we'll talk

 

I have a red CRX, what year is it? Thanks for the help.

 

OK, good news... ...I did find the rails/sliders when I got home. (Note: It sucks when you have multiple sets of rails/sliders from multiple hondas all tossed into one big pile.)

Anyway, here's a pic of the bottom of the seat (excuse all of the crap, and the kitten in the background), as well as a pic of the only marking I could find on the bottom. It says: SH2-89 which leads me to believe they're either 89's or 90's.

Anyone?

 

Post pics of the fabric. At first glance they look like 88-89 to me.

 

errr... no can do my friend. (unless you mean the black bolster / headrest fabric.)

The center sections were removed and reupholstered in tweed. If it helps any, they did not/do not have that CRX logo embroidered into the black just beneath the headrests.

If the black part will help you, here's a shot of it (sorry, it's the best I could do with this shotty digicam).

 

to neozero's comment, I can confirm now that the lever operates both sides of the slider. Neither side slides freely without the lift of the lever.

 

probably 89-91

 

see the wire that enables both rails to move at same time

 

got a shot of the whole seat?

 

From this top view photo on the right, it's an 90-91 Crx seat:

 

Blaak is right. Red pin stripe without the words "crx" or "crx vtec" are usdm 90-91 crx si seats.

Yeah, I'll post it up tonight if it'll help ID them.

...I suppose I should have added that the inserts WERE the sivler striped. There was no red pinstriping on the seats.

I'll see if I can search and find a pic of similar pattern on someone else's CRX.

 

ok, just did a quick google search and came up with what I think they were before I had them re-done. (Again, from what I remember, this is what they looked like prior to the reupholstering.)

then they were 89, if they were silver striped, and both rails moved together.

I wish mine was an 89 just for that reason, I always take my seats out of my 88 to shampoo the carpets once a month and lining the rails back up is a real bitch sometimes.

 

how much did it cost you to reupholster them? looks pretty clean from the first pic u posted

More then I'd like to admit. I had them done about 5 years ago, and it was a little over $600. The guy did a great job, and did rebuild all of the bolsters/seat foam, and I did get an extra yard of the tweed so I could have rear seat inserts done with the same fabric. ....but either way, I think the job was a little expensive for the work. (not much though, I'd say it's a $500 job all day long).

lots of work involved in removing covers, taking them apart, and restitching them all back together. like i said to another member here, it would have been less expensive to recover the entire seat, but the oem black was in great shape, and I really liked the look of it on the tweed, so I took the dive and went for it. ...a shame though that they've been sitting in the basement for 5 years, and I'm never going to end up using them. Oh well.
