LOL, you won't find an exhaust system for this car. You can find headers, but no one makes an exhaust kit. Take the car to a muffler shop and have a 2" exhaust system welded up for it, that's about the only option. A 2G CRX exhaust system won't fit.

not directly... you can swap the seat pans tho... remove the hog rings from the metal pan in the bottom of both seats, put the 1g seat pan in the bottom of the 2g seat, re-clip the hog rings, done. bolt them in, and enjoy pure sex.

Re: 85 honda crx project hidden bueaty

If my friend was ever around from Pass Christian, I'd have him come pick up this spare seat I have and drop it off to you... but the odds of that happening are, well, maybe you'd have better luck diggin in your ass to find one lol.

Re: 85 honda crx project hidden bueaty

BTW, until you find a seat pan to use for the Pass side, I believe at least one of the rails will bolt up... you could give that a shot for the pass side... just don't leave it like that.
