My boy just gave me the complete front and back seats from his EVO.. I wonder how hard is it to convert it into my hatch. Currently I have del sol seats in my car, but am I able to swap the brackets over to the EVO seats and drop it in? If you can install forum, please copy and paste or from any site that someone have done this before... I seen it happen in integra, so I know there's a way. Just need more info... I did a little research and some people used these http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc...ry=67 rails for evo 3, but how would I know which one I can used with the 2006 evo mr black w/ red stitch seat.... thanks
Here' seome Pix of the seat:

fabrication is your friend. nothing is impossible.

i would say seat swaps are probably the easiest thing to do. maybe not the backs. but the fronts for sure.

they are recaro's so you might be able to just use a universal rail, like a recaro or bride rail. ive always just used OEM rails and just swapped the whole assembly or fabbed 2 sets together.

 

Anyone else out there have convert the evo seats in their civic? I'm sure I am not the only person who would want to put those hot seats in a hatcback. Any ideas will help.. thanks

 

ive been thinking about doing this good luck with the info

 

you dont need to convert anything, or get anything custom

just get rails for jdm dc2 itr or ek9 ctr recaro srds, either the stock recaro rails that come on the seats or others like memory fab or vision ultra lows

the evo recaro's rails mount to the bottom of the seat just the dc2 ek9 recaros do

 

What you guys think of these?
Detail Description:

just do EXACTLY what he said to do...cant get any easier than that. those are the rails you need & you KNOW are gonna work. dont get rails you're not too sure will fit or not

 

All Recaro recliable seats like those in the jdm itr and evo mount the same way. Go buy some Vision One Touch seat rails and simply bolt them in

 

^^ not true. my sr2's were wider than the rails i had... had to fab some adapters out of aluminum.

 

I don't know man, but those seats are ugly.

 

if you guys didnt know...the rails/sliders on the Evos are built into the seat base...all you need to do is take off the original mounting brackets from the rails and use custom mounts.

 

ive got evo 8 seat sitting next to my dc waiting to go in but i havent even looked at them to see whats needed yet. interested in the jdm rails that come on the recaro's has anyone tried this?

 

look up and read my post

When I installed my DC5 Recaros into my Evo 9, the stock OEM rails cannot be taken off since the rail adjuster was built into the OEM seat. I had to buy Recaro rails and I just reused the stock mounts. Unless the Evo 8 seat base are different.

 

whatever you do don't buy that trendgear bracket. The alignment on it is probably going to be WAY off.

 

Anymore more advice? I realized that the base/rails cannot be removed. The only way is to removed the brackets and install custom brackets. Question is? Where do I get those custom bracket? Any idea?

You will need the OEM Evo seats and rails...so make sure the seats your budy gave you are complete. From there you will only need to make custom chassis mounting brackets.

You can remove the chassis mouting bracket on the Evo seats... they're only hold by one bolt on each corner. Once you remove the base aka chassis mounting brackets will come off, then measure the length and make you own base/chassis mounting brackets to bolt it into your Civic.

This is the easiest/cheapest way of doing it. But then again you can fab or order other rails/sliders that are specially made for this conversion but it will cost you more$$$
