Which seats will fit?

Just picked up an 89 Civic hatch and the seats are destroyed.
Can anybody tell me if there are any other types pf seats which will fit beside the racing seats. :confused:

Thanks all

88-91 civic hatch seats will work or you can manufacture a way to make crx seats work

That would be fabricate, not manufacture. You should just be able to swap the seat rails over for the CRX seats.

tried that one didnt work! and i ment manufactured i know the proper term is fabricated but.........

I haven't had to go through the process, but I'm sure its not difficult. People make different seats fit in their cars all the time. If you want a simple direct fit, not modding needed, just get some hatchback seats and slap in there.

Yeah you CANT just take crx seats and slap hatch rails on. Hell, I couldn't even get 91 crx si seats into my 91 crx dx. I had to pull the metal pan off the bottom of the seat and swap them. But I got my seats in there DAMMIT! :)

custom rails are almost always needed for seat swaps.. for some reason, Honda decided they didn't want you swapping seats... hell with engines, just can't have the seats.

Hatch seats, yes, CRX seats if you change the seat pan or the whole back, any other seat you want if you make the rails fit, which isn't hard.

DelSol seats fit in rex's pretty easy so I cant imagine there would be much of a problem in a hatch. They set lower too. Great if you have the si sunroof.

Yeah, except hatch seats don't fit properly in a CRX either. Apples and oranges, buddy.

Yeah...thats kind of the point I was making. Just saying the delsol seats sit low. Still have to be modified for a hatch or rex. Just not that difficult.

K, the post was a lil confusing... made it seem like you were saying that CRX seats were a direct fit.

easiest thing is to find some 88-91 hb seats and put them in...if you find a set that you want or can get a good deal on, then we'll go from there

OK, I'm confused^2....

I have a 91 CRX DX. What seats will fit it? I don't necessarily mean drop in; I can drill/grind/braze/ etc...

The yard of bones has various Civics, Del Sols, etc but no CRX's much less one with good seats...




ps: said yard now pays $300 per car, any car, any shape. I see LOTS of "it was in the backyard for 20 years but for that $$$" cars.... two 70's 450SL [each 4600#'s of steel!], a Rover sedan, a MG, some 544's...

anything will fit if you can modify it.

best idea is usually to stick with something of the same year, same manufacturer.

ANYTHING you put in other than racing seats and stockers will require SOME mods.. but the extent is up to you.

The bench seat from my friend's Duster????

My question is about basic dimensions of various Honda seats. Some will be wider, longer taller that will fit in the available space. I'm just wondering if anyone has direct knowledge "Yes, a XXXX seat will fit in a CRX {without chopping off 6" excess width}..."

In my old 89 Civic Sedan I took out the stock seats and put in the CRX seats. I took the seat rails off the crx seats, and drilled new holes in my stock Civic seat rails, did some cutting with the stock rails and they worked. Its a bit more complacted then I made it sound. Took me a few hours to do it. But like I said it worked. And I was very happy.

Pretty much any Honda bucket seat will fit... I haven't found anything that wouldn't yet.

I've actually had eclipse seats, mazda seats, civic seats, prelude seats, accord seats, even NSX rip-offs in civics... they all fit fine...

Corvette seats fit the car nicely, and round out the interior well, I think... but they're expensive.

Oh, and the way those seats are mounted is getting changed... I'm actually going to put some racing seats in, once I decide to get them reupholstered... and sell the CRX seats, but until then, I've already re-run the harness under the headrest, and removed the DSM console...

BTW... anyone want a DSM armrest/glovebox?

The reason I had the center peice in there was due to how far the seats where spread apart. So it covered that up. Before I had those seats in I had these seats in it.

I can't seem to find the pictures with the other seat in. But those seats came out of a 2nd gen turbo eclipse and they are leather.

the console didn't fit with my vision for the car... so I removed it.
lol

I'm desperately trying to turn it into a CRX on the inside

I'm trying to put seats into a CRX; not put CRX seats into [xxxxx].

Are Civic seats/DelSol seats as small as CRX ones???

What where trying to say is if we can put CRX seats into a Civic, then you can put other seats into your CRX. The only way to find out is to try it. ANY seat will fit into another car. You would have to make custom seat brackets/sliders for them. Thats what we are trying to get at.

easiest thing to do, is unbolt the rails from the seats, make some tabs, mount the tabs to the seat, mount the rails to the car, mark, drill, bolt together.... end of thread :)
