2000 Type R steering wheel ????
OK i'm now startin to work on the inside of the car, and i'm gonna try to go for a lil JDM flare. And i was lookin at steering wheels and i noticed this one on ebay. It's from a 2000 civic type R and i was curious if that would fit my car??? that or an Integra Type R steering wheel. Since like momo and sparco steering wheels are universal and can be put on any car. Can those too? or is a special hub or pad gonna be required to swap ??? please any advice is welcome
here the link to the 2000 Type R steering wheel i'm talkin about on ebay

Rep Power: 0 I have a DC5 ITR wheel installed in my EM2.
You'll notice a big difference in weight, feel as well as looks.
The stock steering wheel will weigh 7.2lbs. The JDM will weigh apprx 4.8lbs. It's roughly 1.25" smaller in diameter and there's 3 spokes compared to 4.
I advise that you get a USDM if possible because the JDM version uses a single stage airbag system while the US utilizes a dual stage. The JDM's airbag will work with the USDM SRS system but you will get a red SRS light on your dash. Just like how people have reset their SRS light on the thread is how you get it to go away. But you will have to give up cruise control options if you choose the JDM and if you can source the USDM EP3 steering wheel, it will be just like the DC5 ITR except that it doesn't have a red center cap and it will have power steering options.
Oh by the way, if you go JDM, it's going to be somewhat irreversible. The USDM system has 4 wires (2 red, 2 yellow) and the JDM has 2 (1 red, 1 yellow). The shop that I got my wheel from cut the USDM wiring and sautered them together with the JDM.
The benefits are astounding. I got some oohs and ahhs of course. But for performance, it responds much better during cornering as it requires less motion to turn giving you a more precise steering feel. It's lighter in weight and it makes <15mph navigation easier because the lower weight glides and doesn't demand too much effort.
You will notice a big difference when it comes to viewing your guages. Because it's smaller in diameter, the top part of the speedometer and tachometer will be chopped from view. So that means I don't see the 4 on the tach or the 70 on the speedometer. But that's not something to worry about because if your eyes follow the needle, then you are not in any danger of mis shifting.
If you do get the wheel, good luck and PM me if you have any questions.

Rep Power: 374 Get the SI steering wheel. Its cheaper and looks the same. It doesn't have the red H in the middle, but there is a guy on ephatch.com that makes and sell the red H for the SI steering wheel to make it look JDM. And the SI wheel doesn't say Momo on it though. But you get to keep you crusie control and you will not have any problems with the SRS light.

Rep Power: 0 I know just gettin an SI steering wheel and puttin a red H on it is cheaper. But for shows you have to go all out, and you can't be cheap. If i'm gonna get a steering wheel its gonna be JDM and the real thing. And thanx for the info artychris, i would also like to see those pics
