Default Identifying parts; seats, steering wheel, strut bars, and LCAs

Recently bought a car, they weren't any kinda deal breaker but I know they are not what was described. Let's if someone knows what they really are.

Seats and steering wheel are allegedly from an em1. I know that's not true

Strut bars are supposed to be "old school" dc sports, no markings anywhere, but I bet they're just eBay

I'm assuming the LCAs are eBay as well

Lemme know what you guys think.

Well the lca and strut bar is definitely eBay. The seats and wheel are definitely not em1, honestly I couldn't even tell you.... Prelude possibly

Wow all that eBay stuff just screams the engine swap was done properly and there's no hack job wiring mess. Hopefully you'll buy some better quality parts for the car.

I have a complete CTR, I mean EVERYTHING, suspension setup ready to go in just wanted to know what it is imma pull off and trash, would hate to toss something of value.

Surprisingly the swap was done very well buy a tuner in CO springs who owner the car aswell, which makes me think the ricer parts are from the owner after the shop owned it.

I originally thought prelude to, being a 95 prelude motor, but they definitely not.

Thanks for the input though man!

Front strut bar appears to be an old dc and rear upper, the rear lower are no name ebay. Saying they are DC though really isn't much, back in the day the Chinese copies looked identical

The seats are from a base model civic. Bland and flat. I'd be guessing, but the patterns in the 96-97 cars I've had were different, so 99-00 dx seats are my rough guess

Steering wheel, couldn't tell you. Looks like a no name non air bag wheel. Maybe an early del Sol but that's a way off guess

There's also a set of pliers next to your seat in the cubby tray, so your hood release tab is broken

The wheel is an SRS wheel.

​​​​They looked like civic seats but your right the pattern was throwing me off I've had three 96-98 civic and haven't seen that pattern. So I think your right.

Ok Sherlock Holmes do you want a cookie for know about my hood release.

All jokes aside thanks


So I guess we're just down to the steering wheel.

I think it's a knockoff. My friend had a dc bar for a while now and the quality really isn't that bad. It seems thicker than this one too. Idk.

​​​​​​Dc used to make their stuff in the USA so if it's a older bar it should be quality. Look at the strut mounts their a discolored blue. That bar is a fake.


But like you said don't really matter even authentic DC is **** haha
