Default I'm new to the Honda scene, and need some quick answers.

I just got a 94 EX coupe. There a some things wrong with it, and some things I would like to do to it.

Items that need replacing (all comments or info is appreciated):
1. Thermostat
2. Windshield wiper switch
3. All four speakers and tweeters
4. Drivers seat torn
5. trunk carpet missing

Items that I want to upgrade or improve:
1. Center console
2. Front seats

Now for the questions:

1. What center consoles can I put in this car? Or, what are the other center consoles that came with civics?

2. In regards to the front seat sliders, what other cars have the same sliders? i.e. what cars can I buy front seats from?

Thanks in advance guys!

you can put a integra dash in it w/ little to no modification.

the seats can be interchanged but you have to swap seat pans..
its about an hour job all together for the seats..

92-95 civic and integra seats all have the same bolt pattern.

Replacing:

1. Simple just like any other car, just make shure to bleed the system. Oh and this is located on the back of the motor.

2. The one on the column? If so I believe you have to get the head light and all as one piece, but once you get that take the steering wheel off (not hard) and then swap them.

3.Speakers and tweeters very simple, except the rear ones may have to cut the holes bigger to fit new ones in the rear window.

4. Like has been stated interchangeable with integra seat, which are way more comfortable.

5. Can always take a piece of partical board and wrap it in tweed, or if you live near VB i was at pick n pull today and they had two coupes that had the trunk stuff there.

Upgrading:

1. For the arm rest you can either buy a JDM one, or get one out of a four door civic, no other car has the same style center console area. But for under the CD player area you can buy a JDM console, but those are your only options for center console area.

2. Explained before.

Well Good Luck. And I can offer some face to face support if you run into any problems with this.

ok i replaced the thermostat, thank god, now i have heat. The next thing that really concerns me is the trunk carpet. I'm going to make a nice firm trunk baseboard from MDF, and wrap it in auto carpet. the baseboard will be 3 pieces. The center board that covers the spare tire will be attached to the rear of the trunk with a hinge, so easy access to spare tire.

Anyone want to let me measure their carpet?
