I have a 91 STD hatch. THe doors are heavy as hell. I can feel it, even when im just trying to open or close them. Seatbelt issues aside, will a 88 door bolt right in? If so, from what model? And what about CRX doors?I plan on attaching the pillar mounted seatbelts berfore i attempt to change doors, just to make sure seatbelts will work, i need to know for sure if a 88 door fits.

 

crx door wont work cause the window shape is diff...i dotn think its worth swapping doors..just take you belts off your door and get some 88-89 seatebelts on the pillar. they only make teh door seem heavy cause the belt is on the door. They may or maynot have a extra beam in the door but that probably would only weigh 5lbs and imo saftey is worth adding 5lbs...if weight is a issue and this is for a race only car you could remove the bumper supports and remove the door beams but for the street that would be illegal.

 

ill probably do that, how much lighter is the pillar mounted seatbelt assebly?

 

honestly i dont know. Probably a few pounds if any. I wanted to swap mine from my 88 but never got time. I would bet that a raceing harness would be the lightest deal yet.

 

I was thinking that, can u install a harness on CRX seats? Then i could just throw away my seatbelts.

 

harnesses are not leagal to use on the streets in california.

Maybe your door "feels heavy" cuz it's saging. My buddy who works at a body shop has a tool the latches into the door, so you can lift up on it and re-set the hinges, pretty much. If you do it right, the door swings way easier and closes like new. That'll be $.02, please.
