I found the bolts I needed on an NSX website of all places. Didn't get them with the seat, but bought them at Sekichu, basically Japanese Home Depot. So, now it's just a matter of pulling out the current driver's seat and putting in this one. Uses the same stock bolts on the floor. I mean, this is all OEM equipment. Nothing fancy.

I approve of everything with Recaro seats in it.

For you, another pair of Recaros in a Honda Logo, this one in South America somewhere (notice LHD):

I'm also on the hunt for some of the Post-April 2000 Sportic TS stuff (I have a pre-April 2000). Most notably, this steering wheel:

That's a very nice looking steering wheel, I'm liking the perf. bits and the red stitching.

Yeah, there were quite a few trim levels, and they were all kind of mixed up in various months in 2000, so there's quite a few things I'm looking for, but they'll all probably come from different cars!

My steering wheel (notice, leatherwrapped and stitched, but no red, no perf):

man that looks so nice! dc5 recaros go for a mint over here in the states, and never seem to be in a good condition as yours appears to be

It was really, really dirty when I bought it, but I looked up some tips on how to clean it with detergent and a lot of it came out. It's still got some dirt, but the rest will come out either via a steam cleaning or if I want to, apparently, it is possible to take off the material, wash it in a standard washing machine, and put it back on. It just requires dismantling the seat.

Pretty good looking wheel anyways, even without the red stitching and whatnot. Of course, red stitching and perforated leather makes everything even better, Haha.

Any other plans for the car?
