This isn't so much a walkthrough, just some pics of the final result. Installation is very straightforward, and the only thing I did worth noting was using an 1/8th inch stereo plug to make a quick release for the horn cable. I went with the LTB because I've always hated the seating position in CRXes... if I slide the seat back so the pedals are at a good distance, I can't reach the wheel. The quick release moves the wheel out 3 inches. The quality of the LTB piece is pretty good... there's a little play, but I don't notice it when I'm driving. What I *do* notice is that I can't reach my turn signal stalk without taking my hand off the wheel... that's gonna take some getting used to. Oh well, I suppose I can't have everything I want. But a big to actually being able to sit back in my seat and reach the wheel now. On with the pics:

looks like it sticks out far, but very nice install

 

Glad you like it but that thing looks big enough to have come off a school bus.

 

the wheel? it's about an inch smaller than stock (diameter wise).

 

maybe the picture just makes it look huge then.

 

because it's closer to the camera than you're expecting 3" makes a huge difference.

 

when it gets loose and sloppy in a few months, check out the nrg quick release.

 

not bad but definitely not my cup of tea.

 

wood trim? Ill pass on this one.

 

look differ' then the other one that i had seen

 

great idea for the horn wiring!

 

does that quick release eliminate the horn? i know the nrg one i use doesnt. nice quick realease for the horn also tho lol. i like the style of that one

there's nothing inherent about the design that eliminates the horn, but the + wire isn't built into the hub... is it on the NRG? it would have been a nice touch. prior to this, i had a regular spade type electrical plug all wrapped in electrical tape, but it dawned on me that i might want something that would actually make the wheel removable.

 

I love that steering wheel

 

yea the nrg one has the contact points for the horn.

 

all right, Lo Buck EF was right, this thing's a piece of ****. It took a matter of a few hundred miles before it got so loose and wobbly as to be dangerously distracting. for the LTB motorsports quick release.

 

lol i got that same headunit

i've allways been on quick releaces. u can do other things to keep the car from beeing stollen. I.E put on 27 kill switches like on mine

 

yeah, i really didn't even want a quick release... i just wanted a 3 inch spacer. i found this, and figured, hey, for a couple bucks more, i can have it release too. the damn thing's only $100 shipped, but i guess you get what you pay for. i'm ordering an OMP 60mm spacer next week.

 

post pics of that once you get it in
