Dude, when you get older, you tend to prefer to bring things up to your height to work on them, rather than having to bend down. Especially with a lowered car. Take cleaning a wheel for instance. Would you rather have to bend down and get your head down to make sure you’re not missing anything, or (if you had the option) lift the car up so you can stand up straight?
I did the same thing with my 2019 Civic Type R. Went to an Alcantara wheel with red stitch. I had the same problem with the stupid airbag plugs. I fiddled with them for 3 days! Also, since the Honda steering wheels don’t have a centering pin, they’re all clocked differently. You may need a wheel straightening alignment, when it’s done. I thought for sure you were going to get out a steering wheel puller, when you couldn’t get it off. That new wheel looks just like my Type R wheel. Awesome!
You can get an ap1 clockspring to retain cruise control, and for the oem airbag recall you can contract them and theyll come to your house and change it. They sent someone 5x to my house hounding me for the airbag recall
Little Honda bro 2 ways I have hooked up cruise control without the need to cut or solder any wires. I hate cutting a harness. You can use the Civic switches with slight modification to the metal mount bracket that is held by two phillips screws to the main part of the steering wheel. The other option is to get a another mating connector for the Civic and one for the S2000 and make a small harness.
If LHT does the RAP upgrade, they can also raise the front just enough so that there is no rubbing. And they can have the alignment that you want made.
All eurobotique carbon fiber parts are overlay. I was perusing their site, looking at all their s2k parts and everything was a veneer. You had to read the description carefully. They aren't falsely advertising when they say it's genuine cf [overlay]; only the tiny accessories are made from full cf, like the cup holder sliding door, or the center piece.
Damn did I hear you correctly? $150k into this EM1 build! That is unreal! Man I would love to win this car. I hope whoever's wins this thing appreciates what it is and doesnt destroy it.
You can de-pin the connector and get the right one from the S2000 or vise versa using the one from Civic. Snipping and soldering is not very OEM, but neither is conveniently skipping stuff like a hack shop.
It's crazy how much the prices of these AP1 wheels have risen over the years. Definitely completes the interior look. Wish I could help with the wiring. Anyone on the Honda Tech forums would know though 😉
I love this car man i really hope this goes to a good home! You should make a fine print line that says only to a good home!! Also i sit just like you my wife hates that i move the steering wheel bit i like to be able to see the entire speedo!!
If you dont want to cut and solder you could depin and repin the connectors. Here's a link I quickly found that might help with the wiring: honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/cruise-control-s2k-steering-wheel-2447116/
That’s so damn cool. Your car reminds me too much of my 97 ex. I had almost identical wheels, Mugen seats, and a EP3 steering wheel. Really miss that car
With a wiring diagram, since both sides are 3 wires, it should be as simple as depinning the plug in both steering wheels, and swap the Civic harness plug into the S2K wheel. No cutting or splicing necessary.
Man, I desperately wanted to jump through the screen to help him get the wheel off. Getting the wheel off the 1st time, I almost busted myself in the face
Steering wheel looks good. Can't believe big Honda bro Matt doesn't own a steering wheel puller? Surely you could change the plug on the cruise control to match the steering wheel. 👍🇦🇺🍺
Hey Matt, looks great what you could try the stock wheel see if the factory plug allows the wires to be depined from the plug not all styles of plugs allow for this but most do then hopefully you should be able to depin The plug from the new wheel no cutting no soldering definitely the way to do it if the plug allows for it or just leave it for the next guy no big deal either way but if you’re able to remove the The plug from the factory wheel I think it’s worth a try anyways definitely going to get in on the card giveaway as well as the garage giveaway thanks for doing this and happy holidays
Yeah I commented before u got it off haha. A lot of steering wheels are on a spline that you have to use a puller to get off. That's what I get for speaking too soon.
@@dnbmania like everything car related it'll depend on the car. The wheel on my s2k came off with maybe 3 back and forth motions. Pushing on one side while pulling on the other.
I would recommend disconnecting the airbag immediately! The pyro delay timings are meant for a specific airbag. The volume, inflation time and vent holes are never going to be the same between 2 vehicles even from the same manufacturer. If you make contact with that bag and it’s still inflating it’s not going to do you any favours....and if it’s already deflating......👋
he mentioned in one of the other videos that he has $80,000 in the trunk in cash. jk 150k is a lot of money. it would be interesting to see a breakdown. it's a beautiful car. built very tastefully
I’m always ducking away from airbags after messing with it lol. Paranoia. Like the steering wheel but don’t love it. The suede+ leather mixture is slightly conflicting.
This car build is killing me, its everything I’ve ever wanted to do to a civic. So jealous.
I always like when the Honda episode is on Matt slide the hat backward to bring him back to the good old days.
He’s got it on the lift to change the steering wheel lol.
He got it like that bro

@@okanelkin that makes perfect sense except for the fact he has to step way up and bend down and flop in the car anyways. But whatever
So?
@@rainydaysroofer9474 there was a couple minutes there where he was standing outside and unbolting something lol. Scissor lift is so easy. Why not
What's up little Honda bros??
Yo I am here
Well older hondas are little
I get but hurt everytime! And then i realize his best solution to figuring out which wires go where is trial and error. Good thing he has money.

@@billybuckner7762 oh shit, small world lol
I think this is the happiest I''ve seen Matt in years, and I'm a long time viewer.
Finally, footage of how it really is like working on stuff. Frustration followed up by referencing to a TH-cam vid.
My wrist and elbow are certified, stamped, and precisely torque calibrated.
@@ObsessedGarage I believe it! Love what you’re doing.
U can de pin the connectors instead of cutting the wires to get cruise control working....keep it all oem plus
Hey man.
Any plans to put a security system on this thing?!
I love the hard work!
Great point

Tying the door panel card fabric in to the suede, or Alcantra, of the new wheel is an absolute must....
Every time I hear “little Honda bros” it cracks me up haha
All you have to do is depin the connector off the other steering wheel for the cruise control
I am def going to enter for this. This car is amazing and I love all of it. The steering wheel is oem+ and looks amazing. I knew you would kill it.
Had an ap1 wheel in my b18c ek coupe :) Oem quality, ideal size, perfect wheel. I believe it's the same as the honda insight too!
Fun fact! Honda used the same exact airbag on the Insight! That suede wheel is awesome!
First thing the winner will do is throw a massive $100 eBay wing on the trunk lol
Hope we’re gonna see a 997 on the channel sometime soon 🤞

The plugs probably can be removed from the wires without cutting.
God dang it look at that! This little Honda bro loves every minute of these videos!
New sub. I came to this channel thanks to John from LHT paying you a visit on one of his videos. I like what I see. Love the Civic.
dude your the man all your builds are very detailed clean and good looking civic si god bless the skills

Every wiring diagram is also in the PDF. www.clubcivic.com/forum/threads/96-00-service-manual-free-to-anyone.176563/

Nice
Can't you repin the connector for the cruise control?
Yes you can.
S2k cluster will be cherry on top. Def gonna buy some stuffs for garage and Em1 giveaway.
Nice video. One suggestion if you wanna delete the cruise control switch entirely just get a 2000 Honda Insight cover
That’s so damn cool. Your car reminds me too much of my 97 ex. I had almost identical wheels, Mugen seats, and a EP3 steering wheel. Really miss that car
The steering wheel looks great man good choice.
I love the new steerwheel, it dope.
Empire Legacy
💯🤙
I'm so excited ... I'm so excited ... I'm so excited
Funny how hard the Honda air bag plugs are if you’ve never done one. You would never think to pull that direction to “unplug” something.
The nicest civic ever! Perfect!
AWESOME ❤️❤️ Great work Love ❤️ it!!!!!
Just needs the door cards with the red armrests.

Never seen matt so happy
Ha I hate led interior lights too. That S2K wheel is very nice. You need a alcantara boot and a stubby shift knob.

Bro! Go with the K tuned lean back v2 shifter!!!
Matt, what are the specs on the wheels, size and offset? Did you buy the wheel like that or did you have it wrapped ?
Who did the steering wheel wrap? Want to have my S2000 wheel done this winter.

There is this tool called a steering wheel puller
Left and right biceps did it for me.
Yeah I commented before u got it off haha. A lot of steering wheels are on a spline that you have to use a puller to get off. That's what I get for speaking too soon.
I feel like backwards hat, Honda bro Matt enjoys life a little bit more. Haha. Love the wheel, it looks great!
The snapback cap really portrays that Hotboi look 😂
What vacuum is that? Would love to know!
You can usually just grab the wheel from both sides and push and pull till it comes off.
It takes a deceivingly large amount of push/pulling doesn't it
@@dnbmania like everything car related it'll depend on the car. The wheel on my s2k came off with maybe 3 back and forth motions. Pushing on one side while pulling on the other.
Matt is the biggest Honda bro
Horn works, sure wish the cruise controls did..... 😅
Beautiful!!!!
Need to put the bolt back on to hold the wheel while you try pull it off stops it from flying off
Red to blue/red
Blue to green/black
Grey to green/red
where did you get the steering wheel brody

Can I put in my 99 ek the fn2 steering wheel?
How about some anti seize for the new steering wheel?
Lmfao when i saw u struggle with the air bag plug.. Iv done alot of them for recall
Blk/White to Red
Blk/Orange to Gray
Blk/Red to Blue
A different steering wheel can simply transform the interior of a car!
Is this giveaway Civic worldwide giveaway or is it only for people that are from the US?
fd2 type r steering is the same exact spline and it fits .. airbag configuration is some maths
Hit up Rywire I’m sure Ryan can probably make you a jumper harness for the cruise control
Every time you open the hood, a B16 sitting there.
Link to the steering wheel?
I think you need to get another civic for yourself. It’s safe to say that deep down inside you really want one.
How much was the air bag and and much for the wheel
Airbag was about $1000 and the wheel was another $2500.
Black headliner
ap1 tbh is the best honda wheel im trying to find one to put on my civic
get the s2k dash but youll have to do an ecu swap
Such a beautiful steering wheel! Wish I could put my teg type r wheel in my ek :/
SRS JDM ITR wheel? I thought it fits.
@@touringteg I don’t think it’s a jdm one
Will that AP1 steering fit in my Porsche?
I remember when you did the old man corvette parody video, can you do the same little honda bros parody before the civic is given away?
If he didn't torque the steering wheel nut, I assume nothing on this car is torqued down correctly except for what John touched...
Steering wheel puller from Harbor Freight would have made that job 20x faster.
150K? Do you mind providing that breakdown? I'm not saying you didn't spend that at all. Not hating in any way at all. I'm just asking...
he mentioned in one of the other videos that he has $80,000 in the trunk in cash. jk 150k is a lot of money. it would be interesting to see a breakdown. it's a beautiful car. built very tastefully
