RSX Seats In S13, Not really a writeup but proof.

[samcar]

First off I've been a member of this sight for a long time, I haven't really contributed much back to the site as maybe I should but this is a start. Okay second, if anyone was thinking about doing this.. don't... just save your money and get different seats. It is a huge pain in the a** to get these seats to fit and make them SAFE in the event of a collision. The only reason I'm doing this is because I like doing things people haven't done before, and I got the seats for 200 for the pair and they are mint.

I'll spare you guys the long drawn out write up speech and just post the picks with comments.


This is the new bracket to replace the slider that is closest to the center console.
The Factory RSX slider can not be used and had to be cut away bc if not the seat sat about 4 inches too high.


This bracket had to be made and welded to the Factory RSX slider that sits closest to the door.


The rear bracket welded on RSX slider


RSX seat sittin pretty in an S13. After making this post It sounds super easy to do but I assure you it's not. So there you guys go and before someone says welds are not safe for seats, I assure you that the rivets I took off the brackets to weld the new ones on came of with a hammer and some pliers and those welds will not come off with anything short of a grinder. Thanks again and I hope ya'll like. -Sam

Nicely-done, sir!

Those look sharp in the S13.

Thank you! And they do look good. I like the pattern in the center, it kinda gives the feel of later model s14 seats.

Looks much higher though, is it?

[samcar]

they are about 1" higher but it's not anything that I care too much about. I'm only 5'8" 135ish.. So the seats fit me well. If you are a bigger/taller guy I wouldn't recommend these seats.
