quick steering wheel question
I like the new Si steering wheel better than the one on my EX coupe. How hard would it be to switch them?

You just have to decide whether or not Cruise COntrol is important. If it is...then you have to re-route the wires from the OEM switches (on the wheel) to a new location. Most prefer down by the e-brake. My friend that helped me install the wheel tried to splice the OEM wires into the SiR wires and it didn't work...I'm taking the wheel off this weekend cuz I sold it and soldering the wires back....otherwise you have to buy a new Cable Reel and that's kinda $.
Remember to undo the batt before you start this and when you're done....keep the **** away from the wheel when you start it up...You've messed with the SRS wiring so you just want to be safe

Rep Power: 493 I don't use cruise control - so that shouldn't be a problem. And to answer Pointless' question, I like the shape of the wheel better, as well as the way it looks. Thanks for the info Pharoh
