Mate this is a great video , really well explained and great camera angles , how is the wheel holding up now? I amThinking of getting a retrimmed leather one , seen one on eBay , so this video is perfect
hi there, nice car, I have a 2004 ep4 type r and was wondering if you could help me. cause the interior is plastic, it creeks most of the time when on a bad road surface, does this happen n yours? may just because the car is quite old and its cheap plastic, haven't had the car long. thanks.
Hi mate. Civic interiors aren't the best quality but I can't say I've got any squeaks. Are you sure it's interior? I had a bad squeak on my car and it was the top mounts on the shocks making a noise! You could take panels off and fit some sound deadening in behind.
yeh its defo inside, on the passenger side, like the panels above the airbag, sort of like a constant quiet rattle when on a bad road surface, defo from the inside and not anything mechanical. when I tap the panels, they are quite hollow sounding and is something that would rattle when driving, ok on smooth surface, just when it gets on bad roads.
CTRTurboEP3 Hi mate. The wheels were painted. I can't remember the exact colour, it's an Audi colour though. Anthracite Metal maybe. I can't be 100% sure.
Hello mate, i have a '97 ej9 civic & i'm about to order a used S2000 steering wheel, can u tell me how to do mine like that? It's beautiful & must handle well.My problem is that i leave in greece & i don't know if there is someone to do that for me here!Any tips? :)
Damn that's good deal the cheapest I could find was like 600 but that was for the whole unit. But I'm going go this route and just buy a re stitched wheel and change over the horn and center parts

i have an ep2 but these videos are a godsend
+zombiezey Cheers mate!
Sincerely thank you MUCH for the video! 2005 civic si American owner here, and I was wondering how involved it would be to replace the steering wheel.
+tpcs cheers. Glad to hear it helped!
what place did you get this steering wheel re upholstered at? do you have any contact ?

Hi mate. It's holding up really well. Alcantara does wear quicker than leather but it's worth it. Good luck!

That's pretty annoying! I suppose you could take the panels off, you may have a broken clip or something.
Take the panels apart and put a cushion inside.
Super video, with how much NM have you tightened the screw on the steering wheel?
Hi mate. I can't remember TBH. Sorry that's not too helpful!
Do you get any problems after installing the new springs? I want to get a Eibach set -30mm but I'm worried about it scraping etc?
Hi mate. No issues at all, no scraping or anything. The -30mm setup is fine on a standard car TBH.
hi tom any idea if you could retrofit a fn2 wheel onto an ep3 and any videos on replacing front and rear pads thanks bud
I heard you should remove the negative terminal, not the positive?
+drugflix Hi mate. I've always disconnected the positive terminal and nothings blown up yet! I don't think it matters too much which you do!
+drugflix This only due to the battery still having a positive charge, which for safety you always remove negative first.
Cheers for clearing that up mate!
why the positive (red) terminal removed; why not the black ?
Rocket Rider without the active (red) the circuit is open, meaning no current can flow through the cable.
Nice steering wheel, what's milage on your ep3 ?
Hi mate.
It's just under 120k now, still drives like new and hasn't missed a beat!
Nice Video! What is the color of the rims? Were they painted or powdered?
CTRTurboEP3 Hi mate. The wheels were painted. I can't remember the exact colour, it's an Audi colour though. Anthracite Metal maybe. I can't be 100% sure.
EP3Stuff Thanks!!

+outofspace2014 I would speak to www.royalsteeringwheels.com mate and see if they will do it for you, they might be able to send one out to you!
hello mate how many days it's that take if I send my own steering wheels? nice 1 mate
I think it takes about 4 days mate. He has them on exchange though. Well worth doing!!
thanks mate
+Juraj Roz No problem
Hi dude, do u sometimes have a little cheeky "pull" with the Vtec sometimes!?!
Hey man. Yeah I love the VTEC. At the moment I'm limited to 6k rpm but once the mapping is (finally) sorted I'll be able to VTEC again!
Excellent job
Cheers mate!
Hi man, Do you know where can I find the rear caps from the steering wheel? Got one, but caps where lost
The rear covers I mean
I think you can get them from Honda mate. tinyurl.com/ep3cover, about £10-£12.
Thanks guy, stay working on it. Great job
You sounds proper Bristolian our kid ;) haha
+David Thomas haha, I'm a bit further southwest than that dude, pasty land!
EP3Stuff Ah I see ;) haha
Just bought an EP3 Steering wheel for 100 bucks!
Good deal!
Damn that's good deal the cheapest I could find was like 600 but that was for the whole unit. But I'm going go this route and just buy a re stitched wheel and change over the horn and center parts
King Cornelius yea whole wheel, including air bag, for super cheap.
