Whats up guys, I was wondering if there are any flaws/missing things on this wheel. Any input?

looks good i guess? Looks like everything is in there that you need.

If I could see the front...then I'm sure it would be Perfect? But the Red stich on some are worn out,Yours i can't tell
MAIN Thing:
I can't remember if its up & down Slits for DC2 Teg and side to side for EK9 civic or vice versa??

 

Looks good to me also. I would like to see the front before I put the "Comp97GSR Seal of Approval" on it.

 

heres the front

 

heres the stitch all the way around.. bright red

 

backed up a little bit.. i know these are HUGE, but I need the approval.

 

I wanna make sure.. but are all the wires and stuff that I need intact also?

 

I never liked it when the seller shines up the wheel..... it is hard to detect blimishes. The red stitching isn't in horrible shape, but that is to be expected with a used wheel. I had perfect red stitching and it faded after a couple years in the sun. What is the seller asking for it?? I would give $375-$425 for it.

That is hard to tell with the airbag installed on the wheel. If there is any horn wiring (I can see the SRS connector thur the holes in the back) missing, that shouldn't be a problem to fix. The side of the wheel has the velcro access panel so I would buy it if the price was good.

 

I've ALREADY paid $350 . If you say nothing is missing (which is what I'm worried about the most) then I'm pretty satisfied. Let see if thats the actual wheel I get. Any countermeasures I can do to keep them from fading?

 

I don't think so..... I even have tinted windows. One thing that bugs me about that wheel is the notches on the hub are vertical, I think they should be horizontal..... but I can't remember. If you need help installing it, let me know. I have talked a few members through it.

 

When I install this, I'm gonna make a step by step inst. w/ pics on how to do this.. i just read 40+ JDM wheel threads.

 

Yeah right!!!! I thought the same thing too.

check this link out.... I give a step by step in it if you need it.

if u have the wrong steering wheel
and it was meant for a ctr i will
gladly trade u just the hubs
because i have a itr srs wheel which doesnt fit the EK's . IF any one has one just email me at speedyek9@aol.com

 

Its going into an ITR,

Am I getting the right one???!?!?

 

nope. it is the wrong wheel. u need the hub that has the "notches" at 3 and 9 o'clock. NOT 12 and 6 o'clock if u are installing into an ITR. this wheel came from a civic R i believe ...

Damn that sucks.....any pics to compare?

 

the ITR steering wheel i just sold to a HT member...the notches were at 3 and 9. I don't remember if you could move them or not. Other than that, the cables look to be there based on coloring.

 

Yeah, I'd like to see pics to compare it too. Someone have an pics of an ITR hub.... from people that actually HAve the wheel on their ITR?

 

Post a pic of your wheel's hub

 

I don't have pic's of mine off the car,..but its obvious that yours is for a EK9.I did that @ first too,...bought the wrong one,..but the guy was cool,.gave me my money back.

The slits are the opposite of yours.in your pic,..the wheel is Turned to the side(*top facing the left) but its @ 12 & 6 either way,.it needs to be the opposite.
There is no way to make it work.I heard 1 guy did( i think ),..but thats it.

 

damn, why don't people know enough about what they sell. I'm kickin' myself in the ***, why didn't I know more about what I was buying.

Is the hub fully removable (plug and play)? If so, I'm interested in picking up yours. That FIFTY dollar air priority from HK is gonna hurt shipping it back, let alone if the guy is gonna give me back my money.
