Hey HITMAN149  what size are your centerlines and your tires?

hey riot...
actually we just swapped out the nasty dry rotted no air holding tires today!!! lol
the wheels are 15 X 8 up front and 15 X 10 out back... the tires that were on the car were the wrong sizes... the fronts were too big and rubbed.... i threw on a decent set that my buddy had at the shop.... yokohama 245/70/15 just for now, LOL they alll hold air!!!   3 are good tread and 1 is kinda bald.. so if i can find another decent used one somewhere.. i'll grab it, but they are kinda old tires & an odd size from what i was told... BUT they are wayyyyy better than the other ones that were on there!!!!  

yea zipppppppy i do AND i already have them!!!! sooooooo   lol

hey tan top.... no it's part of a kit... i got the whole susp set up from perf susp?!?! @ 2 1/2 yrs ago?!?  at that time hotchkis had stopped making them for our chargers... i heard they are making them now?!?!? but are BIG BUCK$!!! lol

DANG! Those seats look gooooooood!!!  what were they out of?

[HITMAN 149]

hey speeeeeeed...
thanks bro!! yea they look nice don't they!?!?!
i got them out of a 2004 Acura RSX S type. i picked them up at a big slavage yard for a steal!!! i still have to get the seatbelt housings... if the car's airbag has gone off they are useless. so i guess the car that the seats came out of got bashed!!!! lol

Those look great in there! 

[chargerboy69]

John,  The seats look great in there.  The car is really looking good.

Did your guys make the brackets?  I still have my RSX seats, that look just like yours, still sitting in a corner.  I am thinking I am going to have to fabricate brackets.

Looking pretty nice. Keep up the good work. 

[HITMAN 149]

hey bro...
nooo we welded a nice BIG bolt upside-down on the floor of the car & then put a nut w/ a washer (this way you can adjust it & make the seats level. kinda like a washmachine!! lol) and then another washer & nut to tighten it all up.
muahahahaha
yea it's gettin there!!! yea they are NICE seats!!! they adjust real nice!!!

[69bronzeT5]

Do you know if any other Acura models or years of RSX would have the same seats?

[HITMAN 149]

i got them from an 04 RSX S-type.. so just search what years that body style was & see the seats & other models seats... see what you like?!?!?

Cody,

Acura RSX seats and 99-2005 Toyota Celica seats are the same seat.  Here a is 03 Celica with these seats in it.

I purchased my 03 RSX seats off of E-Bay.  They were close by, so I was able to pick them up.  I believe I gave $140.00 for the seats.  Which I believe to be a steal compared to some of the cheep, no brand seats for sale out there for a lot more money.

Sorry to hijack the thread John.  Just trying to assist young Cody.  

Here is my Celica.

[HITMAN 149]

nice!!! yea i think i paid 150-200 for the set... the airbags must have went off in the car... cause im missing the seatbelt clicky thing lol housing... they are on ebay though...

[chargerboy69]

[HITMAN 149]

he still has the seats but he shot me a pic & thought id share!!! also i was at the shop earlier & the car is going back up on the lift tonight & has been scheduled for some work!!! maybe even get fired up this week?!?!? hehehehe keep your fingers crossed!!!  he said he was having a hard time finding the correct rad hoses?!?!? i mean it's the stock rad & a 440?!?!? anyone else have probs finding one??? hahaha

[speedfreak68]

That seat looks really good!! 

[HITMAN 149]

thanks!! yea i can't wait to see in person how it came out.... my budddy said it was sweeeeet!!!

[HITMAN 149]

stoped by the shop today....
no work updates... just some pics... but hopefully the CORRECT  rad hoses will be in on monday!!! yay!! lol
here's some close up (best i could get) of how we mounted the seats... like i said earlier, we welded a big bolt right to the floor & then mounted to seats roight on top of it... easier this way.. cause then you can take the seats in & out for anything by yourself... (you don't need someone under the car to loosen the nuts!! lol

-john
