Re: Searched.. DC2 Steering wheel in an EF.

The splines are correct, but the dc2 uses a clock spring for the horn and cruise controls. Our cars don't. Which means you can't have a horn or make use of the buttons.

Re: MPFI/OBD1 CRX Spark woes! Help me H-T (ICM Wire?)

It sounds like you may have kind of answered your own question. Since the ICM wire has continuity to the correct pin (no resistance at all?), but no voltage where there should be, it seems that...

Re: steering problems

That finger rides on the wheel for the horn. Without it, the horn won't work. Originally, there's a fair amount of grease between it and the wheel, but not everyone reapplies it when switching...

The axleback exhaust kinda fits. The tailpipe between the muffler and the bumper is longer than on a hatch/crx.

Is the wiring intact on the hatch?

If you're good at taking things apart and putting them together, and have the tools, it will all switch over.

That would probably work fine. They might be a little thin, test the speakers in the car to make sure a 1/2 inch gap will work without the speaker touching (rattling) against the door metal.
