bb electric prelude seats into eg?

**55EXX** · 21-12-2008 03:34 PM

i was getting some parts at honda rec down the coast and was inquiring about dc2 seats for my eg when the guy said that he had a eg in the other day wrecked that had prelude seats in it. he said it looked like they were stock and meant to be there. how is that possible? i have a set of electric prelude seats that i can use. does anyone know how to swap them in?

Seen the leather Seats in a Dc2/4 before and watched it happen.

I believe one of the rails are swappable between the DC2 and Prelude seats that cause the seats to be bolt on.

Should be a similar deal with a EG?

If you contact bennjamin he kinda watched the process aswell so he may be able to help a bit better

i've got a few days off after new years where i can attempt the swap. if i am succesful do i need to get it engineered? it is a oem honda seat and in the past i have swapped stock vr seats for oe calais ones and never even batted an eyelid about it but since i am modifying the rail this time do i have to?

You shouldn't have a problem with it even with modifying rails, people have bucket seats out there which are ADR approved so what's stopping you from putting in a factory seat in there ?

got them in and thought i'd share some pics. they look like they are meant to be there. will they need to be mod plated? they look and feel super sexy!

electric controls driver side

just realised i accidently mirrored this image

awesome lateral support

so how do the electrics work? just a 12v connection is it?

**55EXX** · 05-01-2009 07:06 AM

yeah one to constant 12v so it works all the time not just when i have acc on. the amount you can adjust the drivers side is awesome with electric ones. infinite number of positions not just clicks. you can adjust front/back, back bit's tilt, seat up and down and seat part tilt all electric and lumbar support is a lever on the side.

did u just swap over the rails or is there more modification to make them fit.

Good work.

Safe to assume a Write up will be coming?

I'd get them engineered as having oem recaros in a Civic from the Teg or EK9 requires a mod plate, just to be safe or cop a $2XX fine and 3 points

Looks unreal

I'd like to find some leather DC5 seats for mine to fit in
