Honda Del Sol 1993-1997 Steering Wheel Upgrade (Quick Release)

[@Jaydeezzee1]

Most underrated car. Just picked up one last week, true beast.

[@jjmax2007]

yea yea it is and when most people see it they think it's a mini for some reason

[@edsan8564]

Welcome to the del sol gang

[@thewheelieking4085]

I just bought 1 to 1998 about to drop 3k into mods.😊

[@tylerlammert3318]

I just got mine 3 days ago, she drives like a dream. But I've been mistaken for a riced miata and a lotus. Kinda crazy

[@warrenjefferson2237]

you probably dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me.

[@saiyajinali]

Man, this is an EXCELLENT video. I have a Del Sol that i just supercharged and had to eliminate the power steering. I am getting a smaller steering wheel because its easier to turn in tight places. Thanks for this video

[@jjmax2007]

Glad it helped

[@saiyajinali]

hey tonight I began my steering wheel swap. Question, The SRS piece that hangs down what looks like loose wide ribbon. Did you just cut it or disconnect it because it's attached in a hard to reach spot?

[@jjmax2007]

It is connected you mean the horn cable??? It all works

[@saiyajinali]

@jjmax2007 I figured it out. The yellow SRS wire cluster is what i was talking about. I disconnected it and found instead of using the horn relay there are six female connections in the cluster after you disconnect the SRS reel. I tapped into the 6th pin with a copper pin from a TV cable reel and soldered it to the power wire and got the horn wire hot and it worked

[@jjmax2007]

cheers

[@JoshC-mm9fo]

Got me a sol and about to do the same. Glad I found a video of you doing what i need to do.

[@jjmax2007]

awesome glad this vid helped

[@PrivateFosters]

Loving the videos man. I have a Sol myself and it's nice to see 'how-to' videos on KZbin.

[@jjmax2007]

awesome, awesome, that's is what i like to read my friend

[@dmente8490]

Love your videos and the step by step instructions are great keep up the good work

[@jjmax2007]

will do and thanks for this comment it's motivating to read

[@tylerhansen5926]

I have a bride streering wheel for my del sol si and have been wondering how to do this. Thanks for the walk through on it!

[@jjmax2007]

No worries happy to help

[@erickcid7001]

Disconnect the battery FIRST !! Do not remove the air bag without doing that first step please ! Safety first yall

[@jjmax2007]

lol this is true everyone I didn't mention this and I should have never ever never mess with the air bag with the battery connected!!!!

[@redwingf4i654]

I just installed a sparco on mine yesterday. Looks great

[@jjmax2007]

thanks it came out so nice and it's clean the theme is making the car look so dope

[@garyfff4757]

Thefts of Sols is a pain in the ass,the way forward is a disklok steering wheel lock, I never leave my Sol without putting it on. The trouble with a removable steering wheel is you have to take the wheel with you everywhere you go,my steering wheel is standard and a size small Disklok fits perfect.

[@jjmax2007]

so true what's crazy my friends think I have it for racing and lil do they know plus when I go to the hang out I see eyez on the car as I walk around the spot, did not know there was a standard size out there

[@missfaita8106]

did you ever have issues with the targa top leaking when you had your del sol?

[@jjmax2007]

Leaks water? No no never but I have a video call junk yard adventures check it out there might be a fix there is a deal for the door windows I have a playlist for the Del sol

[@leahjenkins6948]

So did you just cut the SRS thing that’s hanging??

[@jjmax2007]

No no tuck it away

[@TheFoyer13]

@@jjmax2007 Yours looks like it was cut off from that spiny part (Sorry don't know what's that called, lol). How did you disconnect the ribbon?

[@areeyeveeeeare4881]

How did you remove the clocks print? Did you just cut it? That's the only thing you didn't really show how to do and I can't figure it out

[@jjmax2007]

Oh snap it's been so long I don't remember... sorry

[@areeyeveeeeare4881]

@@jjmax2007 I rewatched the video you cut it off. I already snipped mine off

[@jjmax2007]

Oh snap

[@jayrico95]

@@areeyeveeeeare4881doing my I was about to cut my off and found the plug it’s right right under the steering wheel

[@CSGroom]

​@jayrico95 hey bro if you still have your del sol can you send me a pick of where it disconnects without snipping

[@marcusgomez5311]

whats going to happen with the wire when you turn the wheel?

[@jjmax2007]

long story short I had to make the wire longer and then took it all inside the base but it stop working before the car was sold SMH

[@chosen1381]

What size is the hub have to be ? Can I use a Nrg or momo steering wheel? I need help...

[@jjmax2007]

I do not know the size of the hub there are links in the description where I got all parts from ebay hope this helps

[@propabilityfpv303]

That short throw shift lever was installed backwards that's why it hit the radio

[@jjmax2007]

Oh oh ok ok thanks for the heads up

[@travisdurbin3537]

Wouldn’t the wire get twisted when you turn

[@jjmax2007]

Yes I had to reroute the cable after the install and the ground make contact with the copper ring

[@texmex8615]

picking one up for free with a B18c5 needs a lot of TLC

[@jjmax2007]

Oh nice real nice

[@ESPOSADI]

Where did you get the honda klaxon ?

[@jjmax2007]

Ebay at the time

[@xmmortal]

what kind of kit or specific tools do you need?

[@jjmax2007]

Not sure what u mean kit from ebay and tools from any auto store even wal mart

[@wristslitt7306]

I know this is an old post but is there a certain size for the hub? i have a 93 del sol and was wondering whats the specific size for it

[@jjmax2007]

Oh dnap I do not remember sorry

[@treyirwin9395]

Were you able to keep your cruise control?

[@jjmax2007]

The car never came with cruise control If it did i would have taken it out i plan to get this car on a track like @Reform movement guys are doing their civic, check out their page they are my inspiration

[@DNOJ]

Doesn't this car have controls on the steering wheel? What happens to those

[@jjmax2007]

nah nah it only has horn for the year so it was a good install

[@TheFoyer13]

@@jjmax2007 He's probably referring to the cruise control. Mine has them, and I'd like to keep it but I'd like a new wheel so I guess I'm going to lose them for now.

[@subliminalfromthev]

I got the same hub and car but hub spline is loose

[@jjmax2007]

Oh wow how come ??

[@jjmax2007]

[@teamnohesihouston]

Can you give methe link for the steering wheel

[@jjmax2007]

It been su h a long time if it's not in the description I dont think I can find it but I did get it from Ebay

[@uselink5-75]

How did the steering wheel feel? Cheap? Or if its going to break? How did it hold up?

[@jjmax2007]

at first when it's install it feels great after a month normal driving in the city awesome, but I went to the track one weekend and realized why ebay steering wheels dont' go on those type of track cars the wheel would flex and not feel firm at all on the turns I trashed the OEM one and ended up not going to the track any longer after that til I sold the car

[@uselink5-75]

@@jjmax2007 thanks!!

[@jjmax2007]

No worries

[@pamposepa048]

How about the airbag indicator light?

[@jjmax2007]

what do you mean?

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Hey man why is my steering wheel stem so damn long? How can I get the adapter right up against the hub? It sticks out too far. I just got the car like this so idk what was done or what they did or did t do

[@jjmax2007]

I would say get the kit and start over.... in the description there is a link to the parts for what u will need not sure if the links still work but let me check

[@p-baby0266]

Where did you get all of your supplies?

[@jjmax2007]

i get them from amazon and ebay and only sometimes the junk yard

[@jamesstewart1794]

FYI, you're supposed to take the ground side off the battery

[@jjmax2007]

Thanks for the heads up

[@khemarreid755]

Good video keep working on the car

[@jjmax2007]

heck yea i dont plan to stock just need to get my money up to keep getting parts, so i can make vids

[@khemarreid755]

JJMAX2007 you have any upgrades planed for the engine?

[@jjmax2007]

yse yes i do stay tune starting to upload on a weekly with more engine bay stuff but i can't seem to find the time to edit what i have recorded so far

[@khemarreid755]

JJMAX2007 ok cool looking forward to it

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Ok..... the previous owners steering wheel was not a deep dish, instead the steering wheel was shallow so it did not reach his arms from the driver seat so they must have used an extension adapter to push the steering wheel closer to the driver seat. I’ll fix that thanks.

[@jjmax2007]

Awesome awesome

[@jamesstewart1794]

Cheap hubs aren't a good idea , wait until the splines strip out on you. Ever heard of the term understeer?

[@jjmax2007]

this is so true i feel it now when im driving i plan on changing it out real soon i dont plan on making a vid when i change it cause it's been done on this car on this channel but i will update when i have it installed

[@ricardogarciapardo7001]
