DOH! Thanks Mike. I mistook the SRS symbol for Mugens in my excitment. I thuoght it was Mugen 'cus of of what it said in JDMHP's site:
JHP Project DC5-R
INTERIOR
- Mugen suede sterring wheel
- Mugen seat brackets
- Takata 4 point harnesses
- Spoon seats
- Carmate air freshener

I was seriously looking in to buying a 2002 Si and I don't recall the steering wheel looking anywhere near that cool. (Could be wrong though.)

A serious question though: What does upgrading your steering wheel accomplish? I've never understood this, I mean, I'm sure there's a good reason, I just can't think of one? Just the bling bling factor?

What does upgrading your steering wheel accomplish?
Smaller wheel = less movement to turn the wheel the same degree of rotation

S = r * angle of rotation (in radians)

S is the distance of the arc or in this case, the distance needed to travel to turn the steering wheel

r is the radius of steering wheel

Also, ergonomics is a huge factor as well.

But for me, upgrading the steering wheel will have another benefit...no more embarrassing honks while autocrossing

Stupid horn buttons on the OEM USDM ITR wheel are right by where I like to put my hands.

PS - My CD player in my ITR was bought because of ergonomics.

DC5 steering wheels wont fit the DC2. DC5 steering wheels share the same splines as EK and S2000

As long as your wear your seatbelt, you should be ok. Airbags only help in some situations but can also be harmfull in some.
