  1. Virginia Type R - 5 seat conversion

    Unfortunately, attempting to get a quote from ups or fedex looks like $350-450 dollars. I assume you don’t want that.
  2. Virginia Type R - 5 seat conversion

    These are still available. Two hours or less taking our time. It’s pretty easy. I’ll do the install if you are willing to drive over.
  3. Civic Type R - 5 seat conversion

    I sold the R, but returned it to stock before it left. My kit as seen in the first post is now available if anyone wants to buy it. see here
  4. Virginia Type R - 5 seat conversion

    I’ve sold my R, but returned it to stock. The seats as seen here are now up for sale. Condition: seats are still in good shape, but there are some slight stains on the driver rear seat. I only vacuumed them before removing. I imagine they would clean up just fine with upholstery cleaner...
  5. Civic Type R - 5 seat conversion

    I didn’t see any listed on eBay at the moment, but you just need the rear seats from a 5-door/hatch model. That has the two piece fold down with the integrated seat belt. Make sure you don’t get the sedan or coupe seat. The buckle can be ordered directly from Honda. What ever you do, don’t...
  6. Civic Type R - 5 seat conversion

  7. SOLVED! Faint groan when turning at slow speeds

    Could you guys possibly be hearing the LSD? I’ve noticed mine makes a little noise when you have the wheel turned a good bit and going very slow with some throttle input. Mine reminds me of other FWD cars I’ve had with aggressive helical diffs.
  8. Rockingham Auto Drops Insurance on Type R

    Hey Casey, I’m also in RVA. I insure with Virginia Insurance Services in Midlothian (Sunday Park). They are an Erie shop. Mine is stock, so I can’t comment on mods. I’m at ~1700 a year, but that includes my 19’ R, 15’ Odyssey and 05’ Mustang GT. I don’t remember what the breakout is on just...
  9. Civic Type R - 5 seat conversion

    Weight: I should have weighed it, but didn’t. The 60% side maybe a pound or two heavier since it has the retractor and belt built in. I didn’t notice it when carrying it though. insurance: It is a risk. As far as safety, it is all factory components. I wouldn’t have done it if I felt it...
  10. Civic Type R - 5 seat conversion

    This is my first post here, thought it might help someone out that was in the same boat. Perhaps you want to buy the Type R, but need three rear seats for your kids? I've found posts talking about the conversion, but didn't find any tutorials on how to do it. I convinced my self it was...
