I know 3 full size people in a GSR is madness, but
I am looking at one and have 3 kids.

Is there a way to get rid of that stupid plastic bathtub thing and run a 4 door or EK bottom so I can run 3 seat belts for my kids ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

Even though the seat bottom from some other cars will fit, the anchors for the belts aren't there.

Not only that, but the reason that the Integra hatchback lost the middle rear seat in the US is for crash test ratings. Do you seriously intend to have children in a configuration that Honda deemed inadequate for crash purposes?

Buy a GSR sedan if you really want an Integra and need to move 5 people. However, considering how Integras take crashes, I'd be looking at a Fit instead if I had kids...

 

I have a GSR sedan and two small kids. I try not to use this car for kids. Bigger is better. Get a pilot.

My buddy has a GSR and 3 kids...i believe he swapped the LS rear seat into the back but i'd have to ask him to be 100% sure. It was tan leather and IIRC the LS Special Edition had tan leather rear seat without the plastic tub in the center.

 

No usdm integra coupe rear seat came with out that plastic center piece. Unless your talking about the sedan.

 

If I were to choose between the safety of my 3 kids VS the desire to have a GSR... I think I would put the safety of my kid first and get a sedan more fitted for a family or a mid-size suv.

You say that you're looking at buying a GSR, right?

You say that you have 3 kids, right?

What are you driving your kids around in now?

 

Sedan? Maybe.

Hatchback? No. Just no.

My mother's '94 LS hatch was t-boned on the driver's side by a F-150 a few years ago. I'm 90% sure my sister would have at least been badly injured had she rode along that day. We got lucky that day as the truck hit us at just the right angle/speed to avoid injuries.

Buy a post '95 if you must - those came with side-impact beams.

 

Seriously, safety first. Screw having a GSR or even a fun car when you have 3 kids. Your kids are your life.

Can't see having kids in the back of one of these cars as ppl have said they just don't stand up well in a crash. just find a cheap 6th gen civic that's my "ppl hauler" I feel better having ppl with me in that thing then when my integra was a street car.

 

It can be done using the mount points from the existing belt buckles and a center seatbelt from a civc. Most anything can be done with resources. It is smart or legal? No and probably not.

I dont think the OP is looking to buy a GSR, sounds like he already has one.

 

twin turbo minivan

 

I wonder where he went. Maybe he left the forum because the wifey saw the post and made him buy a minivan

 

Why does everyone go straight to minivan?

I love my wife's station wagon, or as the manufacturer calls it, "Sportwagen". Roomy, reasonable power, good mileage, and somehow invisible to cops...

 

This.
Get an old chrysler turbo van.

Back in the early 2000s as a kid I saw a guy that had a chrysler turbo van, stock, just pulled off the exhaust and turned up the boost till it was just below the boost cut. Damn thing was cuttin 14 second passes.

 

id rather have a 4 door gsr over the hatchback gsr.

 

I ended up buying a pt cruiser GT with the SRT4 turbo engine in it, 5 speed.
