Decided last night I want a new shift knob. Now I want a new steering wheel lol.

What do you guys think of this combo? I'm going for an OEM Honda (Race inspired :wink: ) look.

Wheel:

Horn button I found!:

I think that combo would look hot as hell. Kind of like S2000 and NSX wheels, but for about $80-$90 cdn.

Opinions?

the wheel looks almost identical to the one ive always wanted..

i think it would look very nice

 

[baker_jeff]

Oh, and nobody buy that horn button its the only one listed. Seriously, I'll be very VERY angry. :evil:

 

[Savage]

should look damn sweet. are you going to get 300$ mugen pedals? and paint your interior you ricer. jk

 

[djhankb]

you should get the actual mugen horn button from king motorsports, i want one so bad ;-)

 

[jfrolang]

Hey, mugen pedals are only $175 8)

 

[baker_jeff]

Oh snap! I actually have some sweet yellow/gold brushed metal pedals brand new in my room. They are teh sex, but will only go on for shows. Don't want to wear them out!

 

[Savage]

good job jeff. i need to start saving up for my engine N/A B18C5R ftw. 300/6000$. what do you mean shows? are you putting your rex in upcoming shows and stuff?

 

[baker_jeff]

Eventually. Matrix keeps wanting me to rep them at drift events and shows lol. I laugh at them and say "Maybe next one". car needs tons of work yet. Need to lower her, fix rust, and CF front lip before I'll even consider.

 

[Savage]

drift events?! you should have slapped 'em. i wonder if my car will make it to the shows next year. that's cool though. i though your car already had suspension? hmm.

It does, but its not lowering springs. I like to call them "Really f*ck*n stiff springs"

 

[Savage]

o i c. your car is so known around town it's almost pointless to be in a car show.

Horn button... lame.

Old School Honda MOMO:

I'm rocking the wheel now, the button is for sale.

 

[SETI20]

I don't think those plastic ribbed grips will be comfortable.

I love mine.

Love my horn too 8)

 

[Dren]

what's so wrong with the stock wheel? i love my stock honda wheel

 

[jfrolang]

It's too big and slippery... aftermarket wheels have better grips.

 

[baker_jeff]

I am retaining the value of my genuine leather SiR wheel.

 

[SETI20]

Stock wheel is too big. My knees get stuck under it.
SiR wheel is a bit smaller, but still too big.

I'm personally rocking this wheel:

It's an NRG, I also have the NRG short hub and quick release (that combo makes the wheel position work, the short hub is super-thin, so it doesn't stick out way too far like a regular aftermarket hub plus the quick release).

I also have this (pretty common) shift knob:

It's the Skunk2 weighted knob, it's amazingly heavy for its size, and goes a long way in convincing the shifter to fall into gear. Nice combo with my ITR shifter and authentic ITR black (with red stitching) shift boot...now I just need some seats (or seat covers for my Si seats) that are black with red stitching to tie the whole look together.

If I had to buy a steering wheel package and shift knob again, I'd probably buy the same thing -- with the possible exception of a REALLY nice black leather/red stitching knob if I liked the feel of it as much as the weighted Skunk2. The NRG stuff is often available as a package deal on the sponsor forums on honda-tech for really cheap, and it's super easy to install on our cars.

I like that wheel alot. Can you take that odd plastic ring off of it?
