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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 😉
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.
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.
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
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......👋
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!!
@@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.
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.
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
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
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. 👍🇦🇺🍺
Here is a thread on the cruise wiring. a couple of posts down has the pin outs. I did this on my 97, works perfect. I used male/female butt connectors. Initially the buttons were reversed so I just switched the 1 and 3 pins and that fixed it. honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/cruise-control-s2k-steering-wheel-2447116/
I always like when the Honda episode is on Matt slide the hat backward to bring him back to the good old days.
This car build is killing me, its everything I’ve ever wanted to do to a civic. So jealous.
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.
845? Lmao that makes 2 of us
@@billybuckner7762 oh shit, small world lol
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
U can de pin the connectors instead of cutting the wires to get cruise control working....keep it all oem plus
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.
I think this is the happiest I''ve seen Matt in years, and I'm a long time viewer.
All you have to do is depin the connector off the other steering wheel for the cruise control

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....
Hope we’re gonna see a 997 on the channel sometime soon 🤞

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

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!

The plugs probably can be removed from the wires without cutting.
Every time I hear “little Honda bros” it cracks me up haha
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.
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.
Straight piped Civic coming right up
God dang it look at that! This little Honda bro loves every minute of these videos!
is there a security system being added?
Love how happy Matt is about this car. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

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
Euro boutique is awesome. Rick is a cool guy!
Perfect steering wheel Matt! This car is built so damn good!
So mad you aren't also wearing an Alan Iverson jersey
LOL! good one!
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
Hands down my ultimate dream car!
Ha I hate led interior lights too. That S2K wheel is very nice. You need a alcantara boot and a stubby shift knob.
Who did the steering wheel wrap? Want to have my S2000 wheel done this winter.

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.
Need to put the bolt back on to hold the wheel while you try pull it off stops it from flying off
Matt, what are the specs on the wheels, size and offset? Did you buy the wheel like that or did you have it wrapped ?
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!!
I'm so excited ... I'm so excited ... I'm so excited
Just needs the door cards with the red armrests.
Can't you repin the connector for the cruise control?
Yes you can.
Lol at all day Anthony saving the day, he’s working on a rare crz right now as we speak 2022
How about some anti seize for the new steering wheel?
JDM SPACE
The steering wheel looks great man good choice.
S2k cluster will be cherry on top. Def gonna buy some stuffs for garage and Em1 giveaway.
The nicest civic ever! Perfect!
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.
Never seen matt so happy
fd2 type r steering is the same exact spline and it fits .. airbag configuration is some maths
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.
Red to blue/red
Blue to green/black
Grey to green/red
I love the new steerwheel, it dope.
Empire Legacy
💯🤙

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
Blk/White to Red
Blk/Orange to Gray
Blk/Red to Blue
A different steering wheel can simply transform the interior of a car!
Bro! Go with the K tuned lean back v2 shifter!!!
AWESOME ❤️❤️ Great work Love ❤️ it!!!!!
Beautiful!!!!

Can I put in my 99 ek the fn2 steering wheel?
where did you get the steering wheel brody
Every time you open the hood, a B16 sitting there.
Hit up Rywire I’m sure Ryan can probably make you a jumper harness for the cruise control
I feel like backwards hat, Honda bro Matt enjoys life a little bit more. Haha. Love the wheel, it looks great!
Matt is the biggest Honda bro
The snapback cap really portrays that Hotboi look 😂
I think you need to get another civic for yourself. It’s safe to say that deep down inside you really want one.
Steering wheel puller from Harbor Freight would have made that job 20x faster.
Is this giveaway Civic worldwide giveaway or is it only for people that are from the US?
How much was the air bag and and much for the wheel
Airbag was about $1000 and the wheel was another $2500.
Link to the steering wheel?
Will that AP1 steering fit in my Porsche?
2001+ had the airbag recall
Need a steering wheel puller for them older cars
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
"You can cut the wires" ...
Yes Sir ... say no more
Lmfao when i saw u struggle with the air bag plug.. Iv done alot of them for recall
Stop making my dream civic more dreamy
If he didn't torque the steering wheel nut, I assume nothing on this car is torqued down correctly except for what John touched...
