<FONT COLOR="blue"> So finally after 5 months of my Si seats lying around, all i thought i needed was 88/89 rails, but nope u need the pans aswell. I came up on some 88/89 pans w/ rails from lunchboxEF91

So peeps get an idea on how to do this, here are some pics of the swap

1st unbolt both sides of the bottom seat portion. u just need to unbolt the bottom two (this is what holds the bottom and upper portions of the seat together)



The other side is held in by this allen key bolt



Now undo the clips that hold the seat cloth, I used needle nose pliers



Now tug on the pan and mine were pretty hard to get out (The side that is held in by the allen bolt, is a bitch and might take some work to get out)



Heres the 90/91 seat pan****So anyone in a need of both driver and pass. 90/91 pans and rails,they foo sale***



Now just put everything back together and now u got a 90/91 seat that bolts into a 88/89





Here they are installed

Thanks bro.

I had a question though to any1 that has done a seat pan swap...I ended up having to switch the driver and pass. side seats. The pan that fit into the driver side seat was the pass. side and vice versa. Anyone experience this???

 

nice write up, i gotta do this to my si seats.

mice decided to make there home in the bottom part of the seat

 

Nice write up & pictures.

Is there a difference between Civic and CRX seatpans/rails of the same year?


You've got mail (RE: seatpans)

No prob. I noticed the pass. seat had the tear and i was like WTF, cuz normally we all know the drvr side is supposed to have it.

exactly

 

So does the seat recline lever sit on the insides rather than the outsides of the seats?

BTW anyone that has 88-89 drivers rails, I could use some...for cheap cheap though

yes, but it doesnt matter

 

not tryin to show off, but when you have an armrest, i wonder how tight it gets to recline.

This would be a good way to get my ef9 seats with me getting the lumbar support adjuster also

TOO BAD I don't have my stock 88 dx seats anymore

yUp and this car didnt come w/ front seats

 

So; how much for the pans and how much for the rails?

How far a drive would it be from the San Fernando Valley?

Wes

 

I tried to do this with my 88-89 teg seats. I took my 91 dx pans and tried to switch them with the teg seats...needless to say, it didnt work

15 min at the most

 

sweet maybe now i can have all four bolts holding my seats in... ghetto? yes but they hold quite nicely.

 

You guys know if the 90 crx hf will work with 91 si??

they should.

 

that **** didnt work for me lol. i tried swapping my 88's for 91 hatch seats, and the ******* allen bolt didnt line up where the asspart connects to the backpart. so it only connected on one side

 

what the hell, so the 88-89 seat mounts are different then the 90-91 ones???? WTF!!?? theres something i didnt know

 

gj jeff nice lil dj setup you got there too!

 

Yeah, the 88-89 ones and 90-91 ones arent compatible, I found that out too. After I took them apart.

 

that sucks, thought they were the same, im currenlty working on a 90 rolling chassis car, i thought i would use my 88 seats in em, but i guess not. well i dont knwo if its worth the trouble of swapping seats over. may pick up a set of SI seats then for the proper year.

 

I may do that too, i have a 91 civic hatch that i may end up selling and it has 91 SI seats that more than likely will put in my 88 crx, i did the measurements and 88-89 is more narrow than 90-91 which is wider.
