I did a search and found some slightly useful information. I read that the 5th gen bolts up and 4th gen does not . Question would be, what makes it not fit in the 4th gen? I mean, with cars anything is possible if you have the money and the will to do it Obviously it'd be alot of work just for a daily driver, but a show car 4th gen would look pretty sick with a S2k in it.

 

likely because the hub is a different design.

 

actually i do know a guy who does make the s2k wheel fit the 4th gen.

and he's in texas. but it will cost you. the labor alone is almost the price of the wheel itself.

he also gutts steering columns to make them lighter.

 

Where does he do that in Texas?

 

I'd like to see a picture comparison of the hubs and columns... if anyone has any

Sounds like a fun guy to be around.

 

anyone with pics of 4th and 5th gens with other oem steering wheels too? wats the size of the s2k one anyways? should i go for after market or is a s2k wheel the shiz ?

 

doesnt the Type R steering wheel fit the 4th gen Preludes (I like the looks of the JDM Type R wheels)?

 

I have the s2000 wheel in my 5th gen. The splines on the shaft are what makes it not fit. THey are different between the two. You could always get a DC2 type r wheel which would look very good.

There's some good examples of after market wheels there. Nardi FTW.

There should be a thread in the FAQ's that puts an end to these questions.

 

how exactly do you take off the steering wheel? My wheel the leather around it is starting to peel or something, but its irritating me when I turn. I'm thinking of swapping in the s2k wheel. If someone could point me to a diy on how to do it or just gimme directions it would b appreciated.

 

i heard the dc2 doesnt fit the fourth gen.. but if you want the s2k to fit swap in a 5th gen steering column...

 

Guys I have a 4th gen prelude that I want to use the s2000 steering wheel in.

I KNOW THE SPLINES ARE DIFFERENT.

But I'm having a shop modify it so that the s2000 wheel will physically fit the 4th gen's spline.

Now that thats done, I've gotta worry about the air bag and cruise and horn wiring.

Now I've read this link at NTPG: 5g S2k Wheel Install

And I'm CONFIDENT that I can follow that DIY and use it.

MY problem is, I'm not sure that the connectors for the Air Bag and Cruise on the 5th gen are the same on the 4th gen. I KNOW they're not the same as the S2000's and therefore will require modification. I wanna know if 4th and 5th gens are the same.

And thats what I need your help with fellahs... Other than the spline issue, do you all know if this DIY write up will work for the 4th gen?

Thanks in advance for any/all help/info you can provide!
Ultimately I think I can figure out the cruise control, its the airbag connector i'm concerned with beacuse I really dont want to mess with the wires for that-

These are the only pics I can find of the 4th gen's airbag connector. If you have any info on this or can help me figure this out before I start dropping money on an AP1 wheel, I'd REALLY appreciate it!
