I don't get what you are doing?

[kuyaalland]

lol I forgot to post the rest. :smack:

I saw it in the odyssey build thread. I meant to say that was how the car first started and showed the current phase.

lol... it shouldn't be the birth. because when i hear the birth i expect the death... so no crushed and smashed pics allowed. too depressing.

Last night was a very fun night. Its been so long since I've actually wrenched on my car.





Setup:
350mm Personal Blitz steering wheel (temporary)
NRG 2.5 Quick Release (modded - you can see the hole where the button used to be. I took it out to be faster when I take out the steering. Just pull on tabs ;] )
NRG short hub 130H
NRG lock

It was fairly easy to take out the steering wheel. Took me maybe 25 min to take off the steering wheel. I was pretty slow because I didnt want to break the wires/cables.
My steering wheel thread got deleted I guess because of the new server. Thats cool, I was just worried about my plans, but after taking out the steering wheel myself, I am pretty confident with what I'm gonna do.

Im just gonna hit up the junkyards and pick up some of the airbag/cruise control connectors and stuff so I dont have to cut/splice anything on my stock harness if I were to go back to stock. Im gonna relocate cruise control somewhere so I can still have that luxury. ;]

nice! but whats all this random shit cluttering up your dash. looks like a shift light up top and... an air freshener? on the cluster...

anyways, i want a new steering wheel, but in this area, with the amount of driving i do. i'd rather keep my airbag

[bedlam]

id be dead now if it werent for a honda airbag. be safe bro.

looks great tho. gonna be real nice w the new wheel.

Mmm, thats why get an S2000 steering wheel. ;]
Yeah its a shift light by the vent and an air freshener on the column cover. I dont use the shift light much anymore, I havent been to the canyons in about a year. Im just too lazy to take it out.
The freshener I dont really have a place for, but it will match nicely with the new wheel thats going in later on.

I know, Im a very safe driver.

nice steering wheel. whut are the benefits of such a wheel?

[bedlam]

i believe one of his major reasons was security

It feels better. At least for me personally, it does not feel bulky when you grip it and as a result of the smaller diameter, turning is more responsive. Allan, you might consider doing what I do. I have a towel that I place over the steering wheel and in my case, hub spacer, so the sun doesn't fade or eat it up. My Nardi is good, but unfortunately, the way I was covering it up initially was not protecting my SRR spacer and as a result, it faded a bit.

Well benefits:
Added security, smaller diameter (for better steering and because I have huge thighs I can get out of my car without locking the steering wheel one way), and for interior looks I suppose.
Negatives:
Safety (no driverside airbag), no horn (for now), and no cruise control (for now as well)

That's a good idea. I kinda already cover it up with an old hat I don't use anymore when I park, any curious thieves don't see what I have.
But that's a good idea. Maybe a bandana or something I wrap around so it's covered while I drive.
