Rear Speaker Pod Problem :(

ok i went to fit my new JDM speaker pods last night complete with the cargo cover supports (bit where the speakers go onto) and i fitted them PERFECTLY , then i notice the seatbelt wouldnt move as they have no whole for the seatbelt to slip through so it is pinned between the inside of the car and the speaker pod :?

how can i over come this? did the SiR's not come with rear seatbelts or lapbelts??? as this will not fit ??? also with the pods fit onto my supports which are on there now if not?

if you go on that link you will see there are no slots for the seatbelt to sit into

Is there absolutely no hole that leads from the bottom to the top of the pod? what's under that small plastic looking bar between the tweeter and the woofer?

the unit is completely solid no where to pu it :s i might just cut on in with a hacksaw if not :?

yeah, if it were me, I'd just bust out with my dremel... cut a slit on the window side of the pod (so it'd be out of peoples view) and cut myself a little slot for the belt.

i think im going to have to , cheers bud :D

will take pics of the TV, PS2 , Tacho and pseakers when i get the time :D

please do. I need some ideas

do u have the same situation t mo?

you know, I just realised... you seem to drop a lot of money on your ride, Jim. :p
I mean, not to say that I wont eventually do the same thing, but seems like every time you post, you've got some new toy!

By the way... do you still happen to have those EDM side skirts handy? :D I may still want them after all :sunglasse

i drop too much money into my car im afriad, but not as much as i would like as i now have a girlfriend lol

i do have a set yes, im not sure how much shipping would be , i suppose if i taped them together and then covered them in brown paper no doubt it wouldnt be much, im in the middle of sending a set of Vtec tails to Ace$nyper too

do u have the same situation t mo?

Not with the speaker pods. I have the USDM ones. I want to see pics of the interior when you finish

Does anyone have a closeup of these side skirts people are talking about?? I guess I just don't ever notice them

ok mate will do no probs, how hard are the speaker pods to fit i could really do with some close up pics if you dont mind mate ?

especially around the seatbelt area

Well... get me a price on the shipping and how much you want for them, and your preferred method of payment, and I'll see about getting you some more money to spend. :sunglasse
Oh, if you need to know... shipping is to U.S.A., Texas. Zip code is 75110.

And yeah... lets see some pics :D

are you on about the tails or sideskirts, the tails are sold definately but i have another set of 90-91 EDM tails without a centre piece

by the sounds of it T-mo wants the skirts, ?

are you on about the tails or sideskirts

The side skirts.. and if you had one, a rear bumper lip :D

the rear bumper lip will ONLY fit on the JDM or EDM rear bumpers as they are too long for the USDM ones ive tried it im afraid

if t mo doesnt want em then u can have dibs on em

hmm they look completely different to my pods are they honda ones??? they should have a honda stamp on em

look at the link above and u will see mine there is no gap for the belt like the OEM ones

Damn... where are they too long at? like is the bumper itself too wide? or is the length an issue 'front to back'?

Mines are from a US Civic Si. They are the factory holders made by Honda. The speakers have been changed out. I have some Audiobahn 6.5's in there.

both mate i tried fitting one to my civic and it was NOWHERE near, not worth the hassle IMO,

just get an SI front one , i hear they are easy to mod to fit

Oh well... I still WANT the side skirts :ylsuper:

well if t mo dont want em u can have first dibs mate, im not sure on how much shiping will be though bud, anyone shipped sideskirts before, they are quite light, lighter than the normal F/G ones i would think

well if t mo dont want em u can have first dibs mate,

I think she just wanted to see a good picture of them... not many of us here in the states have ever even seen them before.

yeah, I want to see pics or them, he can have them, because I have no money right now. Too many car shows and out of state car meets to go to.

jim...you have the pics of those edm skirts?

clarence

the EDM side skirts are the same as the SiR ones , ummmm i will try and find a good pic of em for you

I can give you a pic of them - go to my VTECH thread and look at the side of my SIR ;)

Jim... I didn't know you had the rear lip - is the EE9 the same as the EF9 in rear bumper shape - my EF9 one is broken and held together with silastic... buyer here if you want to sell it :)

i dont have one now i binned it back a while, the bumpers are exactly the same but we got rear fogs and a longer bumper recess , i will keep an eye out for ya

Cheers mate - I have to cut my bloody numberplate length down to size with the JDM bumper as it's too wide wit hthe JDM rear :D

ah right hahahaha, well if you register on www.4guk.co.uk there is a SiR breaking in the UK , i got the speaker pods off the guy hes legit, he might sort you out with one ! its a small forum but its quite good
