Okay the Si seats i have in my 88 Dx never fit right and since i had the car were only held in by 3 bolts each. They were very hard to move forward and back and the passenger side seat was actually stuck. After taking some bolts off i realized that they were bolted cruked. I moved the rails adn aligned them so the seat will slide but now i can't get 2 of the bolts back in because the holes are off. I can't just force them in or i will be back where i started with an unmovable seat. Has anyone every used metal screws to just screw into the floor? or any kind of metal sinkers?

Please Help! and I thank you in advance!

What year Si seats are they?

 

Use 88 seat rails. they are different than 89-91.

 

I'm pretty sure 88-89 are the same. I had the EXACT problem you have. I got 90-91 SI seats and rails, I ended up using my 88 DX rails and drilling new holes into the seats and bolting down. I would probally easier to use 88 dx rails. IF you have 90-91 si seats I don't think 88-89 si rails will bolt up straight either,

 

89-91 are different than 88!

Only 3 bolts from the 91 Si seats that I had lined up with the holes in my 88 crx......

 

They must be 89 because i know they aren't 90-91...my si seats dont have red stitching like my friends. I looked under the seats and the rails on there now were welded on...just looks like they weren't welded on right! I found a thread where someone drilled through the floor and through the underbody and put a bolt all the way through with a washer so it could be tightened from under the car. Seems like what i might end up doing.

I'm also looking at either getting my seats re-upholstered with leather or buying a new set of something nice...rsx/gsr/type r/newer si? i dunno haven't done to much research...but if i stick with these seats i have to work something out...

My 91 Si seats had red stitching, can you post pics of yours?

 

 

Oh, those look like the same seats my friend has in his 88 Si crx...

i wished i had thought to drill into the seats and not the floor!

I've got 90-91 Si seats in my 88dx. I am using the 88 inner seat rails and the 90-91 si outer rails.
Inners bolt up to the original holes, but for the outers I drilled thru the floor, used some washers, and 1/4" thick steel backing plates. It's not loose or anything, but if I could do it over I'd try the drill into seat mod.
here's 90-91's from the si hatch, but i assume crx one's are the same, well minus the chunk missing from mine

 

Anyone have some 88 dx rails...

 

swap buckets and rails!!!!

done deal!

 

Another difference could be if you have Si hatch seats going into a crx. Or vice versa I know that the rails are different in crx than hatch.

 

yeah i don't know what i'm going to do because i just got a quote on reupholstering them...$700 for cloth, $950 for leather. Might as well buy some S2000 seats!!!

By the way does anyone know if '03 civic Si seats fit in a crx? or do they sit too high..
