Default seat swap.

hey i just picked up a rolled crx si with a gen1 b16a that were putting in my friends rex. but i was wondering how much of a pain it would be to put the crx si seats in my ek hatch... anyone ever do it? and does anyone make brackets to swap EF to EK?

Do the CRX Si seats have a full seat pan? If so I imagine you could swap the seat pans to get them in there. To my knowledge nobody make brackets for seat swaps...

You have to take both seats completely apart. Put the crx cloth and foam over the civic seat pan. Then Take the reclining mechanism for the Civic and bolt it to the top half of the CRX seat. Put everything back together and it should work just like OEM...

ok, how does the back come off of the seat part tho? seems like the piece that the pan bolts to (the part that has the tracks) goes all the way up the back of the civic back. thats the only thing thats really gunna be a bitch.

first you have to pop the little plastic pieces on the back of the seat off with a screwdriver. Be careful it seems like you might break something but you wont. Then you will have to peel back the seat to reveal two bolts on the reclining mechanism that go into the top part of the seat... Then undo the two bolts on both sets of seats and swap the reclining mechanism. I know its hard to understand. PM me your email and I will send you a write-up that I have saved in a word doc from an s2000 seat swap...
