If you need custom seat brackets wedge engineering is where to go. I'm about to pick up some Sparco Evo L QRT seats and they're the only company that makes a bracket in the US that has a provision for the factory seat belt. Corbeau makes some but you won't be able to use your factory seat belt

Yep fabbed up the rails (sort of), had an extra set of trashed OEM seats that I cut the ends off of. If you get a chance to look at the under part of your seats the bolt hole brackets are tacked to the rails making them pretty easy to cut off. I used those brackets for the RSX seat anchors. I lined them up, tacked them onto the RSX seat rails, made sure the seats slid back and fourth properly then finished welding the brackets on. I drilled a hole for the seat belt anchor and connected it to the new seat just like how they are on the OEM seats. I rewired some of the electronics that were part of the OEM seats like the seat heaters, seat belt warning etc. Into the new seats. The air bag connectors are the same so Im gonna connect those too but only with the seats outside the car..lol. From what I have reseached they should work fine but if you try this its at your own risk of course.😁
There is also a CL member with an SC that did this seat mod.
Good luck.

Kool.
I just drilled a hole into the RSX seats at the pivot point used the same size bolt and tightened it with a locking nut and washer.

Springing back into action with the warmer weather. Trying to finish up the little things. What slows me down is the OCD I suffer from; same bolt or nut that comes off has to go back on etc.
I don’t think there is one part of this car that I haven't touched. Multiple upgrades and additions have been done. So many to list and still have quite a few I plan to add. But it’s all good.

kicked around a couple of ideas and made them come to fruition; couldn’t find a different bumper that worked for me so I covered up the side marker holes on an USDM bumper and molded a TTE lip (Yes its a replica, Sorry..lol) to it also.
Custom molded a JDM Aristo mirror folding switch and the security LED into the coin tray.
slowly but surely the light at the end of the tunnel draws near.

Haven’t posted up progress on here in a while, tried to enjoy what ever summer we had left up here in the north east. Only Corona I’m effin’ with is the beer. Anyway, I did make some progress and as allways you can check my IG @monsterislandstar.

With the added horse power I didn’t trust that twenty year old harmonic dampener to hold up so I switched it out with an upgrade from Ross. Nice looking piece. Comes with a thicker shaft for supercharged engines.
