'02 Civic Si seats

[Chris]

Do you guys like the '02 Civic Si seats? I thought they were pretty nice when I was sitting in the Si at Vincel Honda. How much luck would I have finding those used?

[grlielude]

I dunno but I have a friend that found some in a junk yard and bought them for 50 bucks.

[Keith]

GET THEM! They are much stiffer than Lude seats! We can drill in the lude brackets.

I've got the money if someone has they eyes to find me a pair... (of seats...):D

Speaking of which, Keith, go find me the drivers-side door latch.:)

Actually, I was planning to go to the scrapyard tomorrow. :D

What's the matter with your door latch James??

[Keith]

The chrome is starting to peel off. Need anything Chris? Call me if you do... 314 239-6350.

[grlielude]

keith needs to go find a whole new passenger side door latch too.

[Moses]

Hello St. Louis!

Thought I'd pop in an check it out in here, just gotta say that I gotta get a set of those seats. The 02/03 Civic SiR/Si seats are amazing.

I don't think it's the latch Jen.. I'll need to take the panel out and have a looksee... I guess I'll do it this Sat.

I'd like to help on that - I am going to have to take my panels off to install the door pieces of my OEM carbon fiber kit. It would be good for me to see where the clips are and how they pop off.

Would Konis and pullies be too much for a day? I don't want to hog everyone's time. If I had to choose, I'd rather do the suspension.

Come across anything interesting in the scrapyard?

[Keith]

Nah, nothing really Chris. My car has everything I need just about so I only got James' handle. The OEM kit won't take long. We did James' doors in less than 45 mins. We just need to be careful. Pulleys and suspension won't take too long (with airtools). Hopefully, James and Jason can tackle the pulley and we can do the shocks. It should only take about 2 hours to do the suspension. If we have lots to do (as a group) then maybe we should start earlier. Did you get your tires/rims in? If so, just get them balanced and we can slap them on for ya.

[Chris]

Tires and wheels are coming into CA tomorrow. Shipping will be 5-7 days from there. I'm lucky I called when I did - they sold out of all but 1 set of the size I need and a set of 16 x 7. I'm waiting to put them on until I get my Mugen sides & rears fitted and painted by the body shop. Hopefully they can get me in next week. I'll have to leave my car with them for a couple days, so I'll be driving a rental $hitbox for a bit. When I get my Prelude back I'll be in heaven!

How much did you have to pay for the hub adapter for your steering wheel? Don't know why I'm even asking - I can't find a blown S2000 wheel anywhere... I may just have to go Sparco... I'm getting my car inspected in July, so I can switch steering wheels and not have to swap back to stock for 2 years (next inspection here in STL).

[Keith]

No hub adapter is required for the S2000 wheel.. just a slight modification for the cruise control. Other than that, it's a straight bolt on. I'm looking to get an S2000 airbag still.

ya, you might as well get a whole new door after the beating you have to give it to get it to open. :shake: :D

Does everything function as normal ? Tilt and everything? One more thing - what is it's diameter (350m ??)

[Keith]

360mm is the diameter. It's a straight bolt on after that. The airbag just clips in and like I mentioned before, the rewiring of the cruise control. I have pics of the S2000 wheel install if you want to see it.

Jen, as long as you don't bash my door, I'll be fine. :D

So who is doing what on Saturday?

[Chris]

Here's my list, by priority:

1. Konis
2. Pullies
3. OEM carbon fiber door armrest pieces

I'm ready to help anybody else with anything they need too.

[Keith]

No sweat... just bring food or food money or beer! :D

Jen, where is that scrapyard you are talkin about? Do they have lots of Hondas?

No kidding. I need Civic Si seats for $50 too....

Keith - any clue where I should be looking for a used s2000 steering wheel? Throttle body?? I looked on s2ki.com, found nothing. :smack:

[Keith]

Hmmm... I think some people caught on to the S2K TB thing since TimeRacer and I posted our findings. I would search or post on s2ki.com. The airbag and wheel are hard to find but you can find them on ebay and po.com from time to time.

[Keith]

Chris, check it out!

[Chris]

Wow ! $620 !!! Jesus! I guess that's not so bad though - I've heard s2000 steering wheels brand new are around $700. This one is even better. I don't know - just a little too much for me right now. I'm still bidding on those Civic Si seats...

[Keith]

I just saw a regular S2K one sell for 350$ USD on ebay.

[Chris]

Just saw one a few days ago or today? I just looked and can't find any but the VGD one for $600+.

[Makavelli1227]

i saw a s2k tb for 60 bucks on s2ki.com before...and he was in chi town too. but beer.....i like beer.

No !! Mine, mine, mine. I'll pee on it and mark my territory!!!

Check this link out for an ITR (JDM) wheel. How hard would it be to get that to fit in our cars?

[Makavelli1227]

^^^it should be pretty easy.

[Keith]

I'm not sure... I know what fits on an S2K, fits on a Lude... but what fits on a 4th gen Lude, does not fit on a 5th. I've heard some peeps say the Civic wheels just bolt on the 5th gen ludes.

are the civic wheels 5 lugs now???

i thought they were 4x114.3??

[Jacques]

We're talking about steering wheels still, right? I got to test drive a Z4 (and drove the hell out of it :D) last weekend...steering wheel was sooo compact! Between that, and the Mugen wheel coil222 on PO has, makes me REALLY not like my stock wheel.

I was referring to the steering wheel.

Doh! You should have told me when I was in back in Montreal, Canada (where I'm originally from). They have a Honda/Acura scrapyard there where I can get parts from. Got any pics of your Lude Cory?

[Keith]
