Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[DuffyFD]

FN2r seats are not straight bolt on, the brackets are different. Will cost to get brackets welded. (Cost me 350 - 400).

If you organise with EGB then I'm happy to swap my seats, which are FN2R seats with fd brackets with the fd2r sears with cash my way.

That way you'll have a legal set that fits and I'll make a bit of my money back.

I'm 2007 vti so no need for me to have the airbags.

fd2r fits straight into fd chassis. fn2r seats do not as duffy has stated.

Rndy: you would need the fn2r seats since u have airbags. the clip for the weight sensor will cause ur airbag light to go off (and potentially not deploy the airbags in the event of an accident - this is debatable, i don't think anyone has actually tested this, or would like to, but either way it's defectable to have that light on and showing).

I tried to bypass the sensor as i had a pair of fd2r seats before, but it was just way too difficult and complicated and i didn't want to f around too much, so i just sold the seats.

Best bet is to do what duffy has suggested, that way everyone wins!

EDIT: i was by the way able to bypass the AIRBAG sensor (by using a resistor), but the WEIGHT sensor is the one you'll have trouble with. The only way is to pull out the sensor from your vti-l seat and somehow insert it into the fd2r seats. And i doubt you'd like to do that because it would probably involve the destruction of the vti-l seat lol, which is not worth it.

You can't bypass the weight sensor with a resistor (not of the Ohms we tried anyway), and most people who have transplanted the weight sensor from their euro car seats (VW golf, even Skyline too) into recaros were able to do so because they could remove the sensor without destroying their stock seat. None of them found a way to bypass the weight sensor via a resistor or some cheeky method like that, which is most unfortunate lol.

Cars looks freaking sweet DuffyFD!

[black8thgen]

in that thread they suggested a 2ohm resistor on the sensor - this does NOT work as i have tried it myself. anyone is free to prove me wrong though.

As for the first two options, i doubt anyone would be too excited to attempt them.

yeah lol im 18... to be honest, i'd rather a project which i'd be working on for at least a few years and id probably wont be selling the car as its a car which i've always wanted

duffy: pics with the new rear!!!

18! Wow. I think I'm the oldest and most immature person on here. For my age S15 insurance would be peanuts. Lol.
