I found one for cheap, so would it be legal to replace the back seats with the USDM cargo area, seeing as how it is an OEM equivilent and should fit right in

I would say yes...but then I'm not a judge. But you know how it goes...everythings okay until you get LOUD lol. I always wondered how that version would do on the meter.

I would tend to say no, but it is a CRX so I'm sure whatever you do with it, it will be legal. If it is, then I will be purchasing a 90's Mustang. They had a special edition Mustang Cobra R that had no back seat from the factory, If taking a glass top CRX and removing the back seat because it was available somewhere is legal, there that will open up a lot of cans of worms. Also, why couldn't the Europeans take out the back seat in their CRX's then as well.

No CR-X's in canada have back seats unless they have been brought in from japan. I was wondering this because here you can buy an imported CRX that has no rust for about 50% of the cost of a canadian one, and all of the canadian ones are rusty

LOL...jeez alan..gotta save some for us common folk. I'm right there with ya...I think we can import them legally in about 3 or 4 years-sucks though.
Time to make some 'northern friends' eh?

this topic reminds somone tellin me the same thing except with a 4dr ford explorer, in 1998 they had a fleet option where the rear seet was deleted for fire or emergancy vehicle use, but even though it was a factory option i was told it would stir up to much debate for the judges to allow it, but it was a factory option aka oem equipment, and they even had abs filler pannels for them and all so i mean some say yes some say no so??? 2nd row seats not 3rd row btw

Go to Ford and order all the ORIGINAL peices and do a conversion on your truck. If you use all original equipment and have the glove box sticker for that option code how could it be deemed illegal?
Some poeple may not like it but I see no way it could be called illegal.
Next all SS cars need to remove extra alternators that were installed in the place of an AC unit/smog pump, etc. The AC unit or other was there from the factory and should be there when it's in the lanes.
Furthermore anyone who has a CRX or other with an "engine swap" should be deemed illegal. These engines were not OEM equipment and should not be allowed.
I hope you guys see my point.

Hey Neill ... would adding a stereo be non OEM?
I heard a judge once say, " if its not in the rule book, then you can't do it "
Odd ... I see no where in the rule book that mentions power wire ... I guess power wire is illegal It must have been this judges first day on the job or something ... LOL

Steve, are you saying that you can remove your backseats (remove the 2 row seats, so you only have the 2 front seats in the car), if the car is sold anywhere in the world without backseats ?
This would be great new for lots of european competitors, that suddenly would have lots of room for boxes and amps in their small cars.
--- 3-8A - modifications to the passenger compartment are prohibited.
3-8C - Seats may be folded for competition, but may not be removed from the vehicle. Competitors who fold their seats must be able to demonstrate that the installation of the sound system does not interfere with the normal operation of the seat that was folded.

If it was not available as a factory option in that particualy body vehicle and subsequently all OEM parts for that vehicle package were used than it would be illegal.
Buick parts are still GM but none of them would be OEM for my Blaser.
So an engine swapped into a CRX that was never available as a factory option for a CRX would be illegal. Just because it comes from the same "family" doen't make it an OEM part for that vehicle.
I hope some are not going to take ANY of this personally. These rants are to be used as educational tools for the masses of worry warts and over thinkers.

Best thing you could have done was NOT post this up. Take out the back seats and tell the judge you had the glass roof installed for looks. If glassed roof scoops that serve no purpose are allowed, your JDM roof should be.

Actually three of his Rex's have B16 engines which were a factory option in Japan. He may have a problem with the CR-SLO-Tec though.
I still think rear seats should be allowed to be removed for street classes. It would open up a whole new market for cars for these classes.
