Default RSX steering wheel swap into 92-95 Civic

I'm looking to swap out my OEM steering wheel for my 92 Si, but I wanted to retain the cruise control functionality. The RSX steering wheel is smaller, sporty, and does have the cruise control functions on it. Anyone know if the RSX steering wheel will fit onto a 92 Civic Si steering column?

No, not a direct bolt on - you'll probably need to swap out your steering column if you really wanted to do it.

I think trying to mod the steering column would be much harder than modifying the wheel itself. I would suggest if you really want to do this is strip both wheels down to the steel frame and attached rubber surround (remove the airbag, wiring etc). Cut the spline out of both wheels and weld the civic spline onto the RSX wheel. I'm not sure if this is the case or not but the wiring clips may be different on the RSX. This is another concern that would have to be worked out before chopping anything apart.. Good luck and have fun!!

You can physically mount the wheel, it will be sideways though. If you can swap an EK steering column, then youre good to go. Otherwise, cut the spline portion of the DC5/EP3 wheel and reweld it 90 degrees turned.
