Default Need help with s2000 seat install...

Well I just wanted to do a cleaner install with all 4 points mounted down instead of on 3. One HT member started a thread where he interchanged parts from a Civic seat to make it fit correctly. Still can't get used to not having the archive search. Thanks in advance. If it matters or not I have a Del Sol.

you have to take the whole bottom pan off the S2000 seats and swap them with the civic ones. It'll seem like you're destroying the seats, but if you do it right you'll be fine.

I had S2000 seats in my Teg. I bent the front 2 rail down and they bolted in. I drilled the rear 2 in through the floorboard.



PM me if you have more questions.

I am currently using only 3 bolts in my EJ1 right now with S2000 seats. I plan to do a technical write-up when I modify the the 4th hole with some creative welding and bending. I plan not to drill thru my floorplan, but plan on welding a new bracket to hold the S2000 seats in the stock locations of an EJ1...

I actually thought of doing this before just replacing the pans, but i weighed my options. Did i want 1) bolt on bolt off process, a little bit of work or 2) cut and weld and modify. I could have done either one but i wanted something i could do in my living room. As far as welding it won't be that hard, the brackets are very similar, and if you slide the railing up you can see where you can cut a civic bracket off and weld it to an s2k bracket. later

chameleon has the s2k seats in his white bubbleback and they look sweeet.
i think he said he only had to bend the front two tabs. of course u'll prob have to do something a lil different cuz sol and civic rails are slightly diff. like when u throw sol seats into a civic u just gotta swap the rails over.

Yeah that's why I saw a few different approaches to this and so far SilverCivic2k looks pretty straight forward. I might try the welding, but I doubt it.

sol and civic seats are almost exactly the same it will work. Trust me. If you don't want to swap anything, then you can bend the front two tabs on the stock s2k rails and then you can make 3 holes line up. later
