Dammit! Jackygor's sliders won't work with the seats. I need that L shaped bracket that Hondaguy mentioned before. What happened to the pics in your post by the way? I don't see them anymore.

I'm waiting for Tony at Speedware Motorsports to get back to me to see if he has anything that might work if not I'm just going to purchase the whole kit that he has and call it a day. I want these properly installed already. Gonna have to sell my body and soul for all of this.

More pics!

Yes I know my S2K seats are in terrible condition. I drove all the way down to Kent, WA and waited for a dude 5 hours because he was apparently running late, wasted a whole day, spent 500USD when the exchange rate wasn't as good as it is today plus gas for there and back and took the time to do the seat pan swaps and stuff.
The photos the guy sent me were not the greatest quality either so I took a big risk driving down there and found out that they weren't in the greatest shape but I didn't want to leave empty handed.

Here ya go:

So, what stage are you in currently? I dont want to read the whole thread again LOL...

You are waiting for sliders? And what rails are you planning?
Maybe I can help.

Currently I am just waiting for Tony at Speedware Motorsports to reply to my email.
He has the full setup for both seats ready to go and he'll ship for free. It'll take one business day to ship.

All I need are Wedge Engineering brackets which I found on Honda-Tech and waiting for that guy to send them to me and some Recaro universal sliders. Then I should be good to install the seats into my Prelude.

If Tony from Speedware has sliders that will work with the Wedge Engineering brackets that I've found on Honda-Tech then we're in business. I'm just trying to see if I can save some money as the Wedge Engineering brackets I found are $135 shipped for both driver and passenger. So I think that's a good deal.

Here's another option.

You need the "RO" type for the DC5R Recaros.

I got my Wedge Engineering brackets and Recaro sliders!!
Thank you Jacky for the sliders!

I'm in the middle of installing them into my Prelude. I have one compliant. Wedge brackets suck! I had to push down so freakin hard in order to get all the bolt holes aligned up. It seems like Wedge made them slightly too short or perhaps didn't consider some people have carpet in their car? But a mm or two thickness of carpet shouldn't matter.

Other then that is great. Pics up in a minute.

Drivers side Wedge Bracket was a breeze to install but the passenger was a pain. I was about to drill some larger holes but before I did I tried to align it all one last time and it finally went in perfectly. It was a really tight fit but the bracket fits without any modification.

I needed to drill one new hole on each slider for the rear to bolt them in correctly but that was no biggie. Everything is good now! Thanks to everyone who helped out with parts and very useful information.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics but I did this all in the miserable crappy ass British Columbian rain so no DSLR photos.

european 05-22-2011 12:22 PM

Not the greatest photos but fully installed. Went for a spin from White Rock through Surrey, New West to Richmond and back. So comfortable and no lower back pain!!

Here we go.
