Honda Accord SE with Bride Gias Seats
In 1985, the Special Edition returned as the SE-i, capitalizing on the final year of the second generation's production. A fuel-injected, 110 hp non-cvcc ES3 engine was exclusive to this model. The moniker, SE-i, was adapted from the SE trim, but included the "-i" to signify the higher trim level's fuel-injected engine. This 12-valve, 1,829 cc engines was the first non-CVCC engine used in an Accord, and was the same basic engine design used by Honda until 1989. Like the previous SE trim in 1983, the SE-i featured novio-leather seating, power moonroof, bronze tinted glass, a premium sound system with cassette, and 13" alloy wheels.
Overseas versions of the Accord and available options differed from market to market, with the Japan generally receiving more options earlier than the rest of the world. In 1981, the Accord offered an adjustable ride height Air suspension in the Japanese market. From 1983 in Japan and 1984 in Europe, the Second Generation Accord was available with Anti-Lock Brakes as an option. Fuel Injection became available in 1984 in the Japanese market with the earlier introduction of the ES3 engine in the SE-i, taking a year to arrive in the North American and European Markets.
If you are truly looking to style up your Honda Accord SE, then good custom seats are a logical upgrade. There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use. Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.
Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Gias racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits. Because Gias racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.
Gias Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all seats will need to latch to a seats rail, which is car specific. Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your aftermarket seats.
Bride Seats, the maker of the popular Gias seat is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seat industry. Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Gias seat but few succeed. The Gias's tough frame was engineered using a super monocoque shell made from carbon-Kevlar and uses an all aluminum frame to increase rigidity for weight reduction. The ultimate super low position Low Max system is combined for the first time in the Gias with a reclining mechanism.
