4 bucket seats in my 4door 3G???

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Here's the thing, I already installed 89 Prelude Si seats in my car before. And I took the seats out of my 91 prelude si before it went to the junkers and I started thinking I wonder how that would look and it it would be worth doing.

Obvious things: Custom steel brackets. (probably out of 1.5" square tube steel)
I would have to re-carpet the floor so it wouldn't show the metal.
It's possible that I wouldn't need to have custom seat belts b/c I could mount the seats so I could use the oringal belts and keep the belt buckle on the seat.
I would have to dye or paint both sets of prelude si seats to match so it doesn't look Fugly.


I orignally wanted to do this with racing seats a long ass time ago but well these seats are mine and I dont have to pay anything for them and I have help from my dad who has been a metal fabricator and auto body man since before I was born.

What do you guys think of this idea for my car?

Taht a good idea I'm thiking of do the same and put some flexciglass to cover the hole on trunk

[HostileJava]

It would defintetly give you more room and sealing off the trunk with plexi would look great, especially with subs in it or somthing and maybe a pulsing light. I would think the racing seats with a 5point harness would be easier to do since they have the belts built into them. I'd like to see someone do a photoshop of it.

no a pulsing light is what we like to call major

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Why exactly is that? I have a pulsing light in my sub amp are you calling me rice? It's not a huge flashing light on the top of the car, I nice Cold cathode light illuminating the side of the plexi glass would look really hot and if you ever engrave anything in it, the engraving will glow that color as well. It's only rice if it's not tasteful. If you ask me illuminated glass looks ten times better then just plain plexi.

4 bucket seats would be interesting.

How about adding a B pillar Bar and have 4 point racing harness seat belts for the front and then adding a C pillar Bar for the rear seat belts.. About the whole trunk, how are you going to seal it. Where the rear armrest used to be, why not put two subs vertically there and make the trunk itself the housing.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Yeah I kinda like that idea about engraved plexi-glass with a neon.

i had always wanted to put a 3rd bucket in the middle of the back and sub on each side but my car isnt in good enough condition to warrant snazzyness such as that

[Vanilla Sky]

i tried...

all i can say is first of all, you have to scrap out the idea of mounts all together if anybody over 5'6" is expected to sit back there... you can just bolt the seat pans to the floor itself... you're also fonna need to drop your gas tank... i made the mistake of trying to drill the mounting holes without doing that first... i busted my tank, and i barely went to the other side of the sheetmetal of the body... it would look nice, but i abandoned the project due to the lack of a welder i could weld mounts to with... i do have test fitment pictures, though

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Vanilla Sky could you post those pics? That would be great so maybe it will give me some ideas. I'm might be buying a welder soon, my dad has one but I would like my own welder. Thanks for the info on the gas tank man, that could have been bad.

I couldn't see doing it myself. If I was going to actually be sitting in the back maybe I could justify the work and time. I thought if I did anything it would be pull the back seat out since I don't use it and I keep it folded down anyway.

[Vanilla Sky]

have you ever ridden in tha back a long way in the 3gee? it's uncomfortable as hell

[HostileJava]

Wow that was a very insightful contribution. I'm glad you took the time to type that explination out. Maybe next time you could just forget about it though, ok?

[Bloodlust]

What exactly is about that? I think its a hella good idea.

[JakeEXLS]

I wanted to do that as well, even if it was just another two from seats the same as the front ones...
I saw it done in a a civic (about 95 or somthing) and the guy had 4 proper racing seats, and in the middle he had cup holders lol, but the back parcel tray was just partical board with amps and speakers screwed to it. It looked good though, work in progress.

[Forgar_88]

Ummm, even though i have a hatch, i dont think that it would look too good, plus, when you let that back down dont you have enough room to lay around and make out with your chick? Interesting idea though.

[86LXItooFAST4me]

lol, damn. my bad guys, thats just what i thought. its not like i said you all are a bunch of stupid asses for putting 4 racing seats in a car or anything. all i said was "" sorry if i threw a log on the fire, and got you all hot. lol.

[Vanilla Sky]

yeah, sure... "Pea-tear" Griffin

I'm not sure if your are referring to my post or not but the front seats lay back for that also I was going to use the room for audio equipment.

This is teh setup going into my 85 Civic Sedan



I took the seat rails off of the seats (dont need to slide any more) and took the metal frame from the origional back seat and welded brackets to it to mount hthe seats and added some extra braces to bolt to the floor. They are in there solid.

[superguillermo]

That would look sick on a hatchie!!!

Hey...if you have the tools you need to get the project done...why not?

Don't act like a 'tard, what you had to say was in no way helpful or constructive, if you don't like it fine then say you don't like it. You don't have to be offensive. If I didn't like your mom I would say "She's not my thing", you'd never here me say "she's an ugly hoe that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole" because I'm just not that kinda guy. Nobody really likes people like that. Do you know what I'm saying?

[86LXItooFAST4me]

lol, dude i said im sorry. what do you want? lol
