SOOO..much cleaner then stock seats.

Great job on the 'feet' of the seat. do the seats flex back and forth or do the feet hold securely in place, I ask because when in heavy cornering or an accident the feet will under go many g-forces that might be too much for the thin metal.



I would of suggested using square stock steel in this spot.

I'm sure one you get the seat heaters working these seats will be the best all around option for DSM's.

Thanks Terry. That steel is 5mm thick. It doesn't bend easy. In my table vice, I had to "superman" the hammer to it and get it to shape.

I also have a press and for that bracket ^^^ I used a hockey puck to help shape it. I had to get creative here because it's not an easy bend only on a table vice.

Anyway, it's thicker than the OE feet. It's stainless too. But I painted it for added protection.

Seat heaters? You guys are all a bunch of wimps. Next you're gonna tell me you want AC in your car.

Haha...it does look great though! The advantages of being short, eh?

Well done buddy!

Thanks dude!

Sal, I wish I had AC.

But, racecar!!!!!!

Here you go Mike, easy solution

LOOL Nice find!

I can't imagine that's legal in Ontario though.

Why do I feel like the car in this picture belongs to Jay Stacey?

Another angle so you guys get the idea of clearance.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

Those RSX seats looks too high. I think I'd rather just buy the Yonaka's if I want my head to touch the roof. I wouldn't trust those brackets either.

I'm just gonna buy some Sparco's with proper install kit for my car

Not sure, I'll ask some of my techs here about that.

Oh I know how the RSX seats are. Do you have FSM for your eclipse?

^^^ I do yeah..what am I looking for?

And Reza, I don't give a frack what you think

Steve - printing off the wiring diagram for heated seats from an '03 RSX, my bad..these seats are not from an '05 (as originally posted in post 1).

I should be able to mimic that schematic for the switches.

A wiring Diagram for the power seats on the GSX.

Not sure how a 1g compares, but the 2g's really don't have alot of interior height, even for what would be considered "normal" seats in todays cars.

Think the stock seats headrest come up to the top of my neck & I'm not tall. They really are short compares to any "real" seat. Even the Evo Recaros will come pretty close to the headliner. I was looking at some different aftermarket seats & with some of them, I'd be worried about them hitting the headliner depending on reclining position.

Sucks for seat choice, but sure makes it easy to wash the car. Not like the new cars, even with "compact" cars, you can barely reach the middle of the roof

Darren - You're right. There isn't a lot of head room to begin with. And after a closer look of the sparco brackets, I can't imagine just ANY sparco seat would work in a 2g without touching the headliner.

In fact, I gaurantee all of the sparco seats will if they had a height adjustable base like the rsx seat does.

I did not remove the side airbag. I would like to, but was so tied up with fitment of everything, I overlooked it.

RSX Circuit Diagram



In the Eclipse FSM, it's page 336 for the "power seats".

My Sparco brackets on the Bride sliders sit 'LOW' but I still have the same issue where if I fold the seat forward the top of the seat will kiss the headliner. not a real issue for me, if I need some thing in the back seat....I just reach over ...Drop top = easy access.

For those of you unsure about the rear brackets..here's another angle of the 180* and then the other side. Please disregard the coffee stain, previous owner..not me!

I already know that Mike..... I need GSX Diagrams not Acura ones.

In the Eclipse FSM, it's page 336 for the "power seats".

Ok I will check later when I get home. My tablet won't load those.

Home depot steam cleaner rental

I thought my carpet was pretty clean but when I had the interior out years back, rented one. Well worth the $30 or whatever it was, should have seen the water that came out, wasn't pretty. Went over it multiple times, I thought it wasn't bad to start with but came out better, just like new

Did not know of that service.

Thanks Darren, but I'm after a new black carpet. The grey is too far gone.

Maybe next season though.

Ok there are a couple ways of doing it. What are you using for switches?

I kept the factory RSX switches. Will dremel a new home for them in the center console just below the radio pocket.

Oh thats good and easy then. I will draw it up for you and email it.

I like easy

So did your Mom!

Bryan - That's not nice. Leave the mom's out of it

Steve - Is it that simple??

Yes it is. You may need to put something between the leather and the hole you will be leaving in the seat frame though.

Ok, it sounds like the only way I'm going to figure it out is if I open it up. I can get creative with filling a hole

It will still be covered the leather so a piece cardboard would work

Well I'll have time next Monday to have a peek inside there. Will post back some results.

Thanks Steve!

Haha, I had to!

So for the air bags in the seat, is it just the one on the side? Are they easy to remove?

Yeah there's only one per seat. They're heavy no doubt..so taking them out is a MAJOR plus!

It sounds like it's easy to remove as per Mr. Richardson's wise instructions. I'll keep this thread updated of course.
