I'm sorry but no matter what anyone's opinion is, the s2k's oem steering wheel is not an eye sore. But ya the replacement was quite nice 😋😋

[@TheSlipAngle]

lol, okay perhaps I was exaggerating a little ;)

[@thatswatshesaid2675]

picking up an ap1 saturday im soooo excited! The car is mint!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Awesome! Congratulations!!

[@EVLGTR]

he called the stock oem honda badge "ricer". whats with that man. Didnt you know thats what the honda badge looks like?

[@alexsanchez1620]

@@EVLGTRi dont think he even knows what rice means

[@DCGULL01]

Thank you for NOT editting out the ground miss. Every install I do ends up with extra parts, and, I have no video running! So, by going back and re-installing, it looks more like a normal install... of anything! Appreciate the extra effort and beginning to see why you like the wheel so much!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Hey man stuff happens.

[@empty_kwfggh3i7ywfihf]

Thanks for taking the time to share S2k info with everyone. Being a rarer car it's hard to find good quality info like this. :)

[@TheSlipAngle]

No problem Nick. I am glad that you find it useful 👍

[@Chicago_GTA]

You actually showed ever detail thank you.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Anytime!

[@thomasperez7164]

This video actually helped me on my RSX a lot everyone else had the non SRS hub so I was confused because they were taking their clock springs out and everything thanks for the help man!

[@terrysherman8646]

I just installed the same setup, with a leather Neo Eagle and blue accents instead of red on my Ap2. Following your instructions for the airbag resistor and horn wiring, everything turned out perfect. Great how to video, thanks for the upload!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Awesome Terry, I'm glad this video helped!

[@Under9Kadventures]

Great video bro! Nice to see a very detailed and informative S2K video. I love seeing the individual parts you are using. You don't find too many KZbin videos showing S2K parts being installed with such detail as yours.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks man, I really appreciate that!

[@ShenryRNBSN]

By the looks if the comments; Its safe to say that we're all o.g. Subscribers. I remember watching these vids in undergrad and now im on to my 2nd degree. Time flies

[@TheSlipAngle]

Haha, hell yeah man!

[@Bill_Wennett]

I know this video is 6 years old but my horn button hasn’t worked on my Integra Type R + Spoon sports wheel for the last year and I could never work out how to ground the horn. Thank you so much dude, feels good to have the horn back

[@TheSlipAngle]

I'm glad it helped!

[@pdcr100]

Dude i wish you would upload more often, really like your content...

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks man. I've been trying to do one video a week, but you know how it goes, life and other boring stuff gets in the way and then things don't always go to plan. I could probably swing a second video a week if it doesn't require much editing, like if you guys want to do Q+A's on a certain car or topic, etc. Or I could try to add a VLOG each week to talk about car plans or what's happening in the garage that week.

[@dreysgarage1159]

I watched this video as I installed my steering wheel into my s2k, thanks man!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Awesome! Anytime!

[@t-money10]

Gonna do this next week, thank you for the video

[@24Tunnel]

This was a great install video looked pretty easy may have to try this setup

[@GethinJames]

Good vid! Useful for anyone swapping a wheel. I replaced mine with an OE re-wrapped alcantara wheel.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks. I was considering going that same route, but then I would have had to pickup an 06+ airbag because the emblem looks much better lol.

[@ptran537]

This was a great video!!!! Very in depth with the install. Thank you.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you!

What did you do with the cruise control buttons or did you just do away with them? Thanks. Tom Cross

[@swagapinooo]

Hi, do you have any idea into how I can get rid of an srs light? Im using nrg’s srs resistor and somehow my srs light still pops up. I’ve tried resetting it using the srs reset procedure but once I start the car, srs light comes back..

[@xCODYSSEUS]

What did you do with the ground wire in the steering wheel?

[@cameroncooks2357]

Nice video! Would love to see a driving impression/review of the GT3 you are storing once it gets warmer.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks man, I'm pretty sure that is going to be able to happen this year :)

[@lifeofkan]

Does anyone know the part number/replacement for that yellow clip that you pulled the cables out of? I still have the airbag side of the clip, but not the car side. Would like to re-install the stock steering wheel

[@rourkemalcolm1933]

I have the same setup and I just sanded the inside of the hub for ground

[@ryan2507]

Do you happen to have the part number of the quick release?

[@fmpsf3787]

Hi, thank you so much for this very detailed video. I'm having a problem with my resistors though. I did exactly every step you had mentioned, but my SRS light keeps coming on. I even reset the SRS light around 10 times and still no luck. I am using the resistors supplied to me by works bell and I connected it in the same location you did.

[@TheSlipAngle]

The NRG kit comes with 2 resistors and I think they do that in case 1 of them doesn't work. Did you try both of yours? Are you sure its not coming loose some how?

[@IDADDYIproductions]

Sorry if I missed it in the video but about how much in total $ did the whole setup cost? Looking to swap to a quick release in my s2 soon and need to budget before hand. Love the content!

What brand shift knob and boot ? Nice install vid 👍🏾

[@mrmags1708]

Awesome

[@jrrea3740]

Hey man very nice install. Did you reused the momo round grounding plate for the horn to work? Or you just get a wire to ground it directly to the back of the horn button? I have a similar problem. Thank you for the help. 4:54

[@TheJraze18]

One day 🏎☝️🤞👌👍

[@24Tunnel]

Wish we could have a plate to Mount the cruise control on the hub

[@KeepEV0LVING]

how much further is the wheel than oem?

[@k24accord73]

Why the hek my horn goes off everytime i put on quick release?

[@gbdazza6021]

Hey Quinnmotors, Which GEN of quick release are you using is it the GEN 2.0? Thanks.

[@TheSlipAngle]

This one is a Gen 2.0.

[@benhickson2245]

whats the bolt size for the wheel?

[@GARGOLASPERFORMANCECOATINGS]

Came around your video looking for some info on the same install im doing for my car and had lots of questions reguarding the install, Very good and informative video, VERY well explained, thanks for the info ! i have a question, i have a sparco Wheel it has 2 wire provisions on my horn button would it matter where i connect either wire or do i need to connect the yellow & black wires in a certain position??

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks Raul. It shouldn't matter as long as you are grounding the horn circuit when you press the button, it should work.

[@GARGOLASPERFORMANCECOATINGS]

Garage Quinn Motors thats what i thought but wanted to be sure, thanks !

[@Xene106]

Thanks for the video. I just tried this out step by step but horn still not working. I have a momo steering wheel and they include a ground plug on the horn button which I used.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks bud. Which quick release are you using? The coating ones will not conduct the circuit, hence why I had to perform the modification I did on this with the horn button ground.

[@Xene106]

I am using the NRG quick release. I actually solved the problem and my horn works. Make sure you plug in 2 connectors to SRS spin unit. I didn't have 1 plugged in due to a stealthy spot. I have it disconnected previously since I had a generic NRG hub instead of cutout one you recommended. Great video though solved the horn problem for me.

[@nizzyytopbins1322]

do you have a video doing a cruise control delete for the s2000? dont really use it and could help clean up the engine bay as well

[@TheSlipAngle]

I do not, but there is not much to it other than removing the unit, cable, and vacuum line. I believe there is also a write-up somewhere on S2Ki.com.

[@rubymayesmeria7216]

I was trying to install the same hub to my 99 civic si followed the installation properly specially the resistor part but my srs light is still on. Any advice on where did i go wrong?

[@TheSlipAngle]

It is possible that your resistor might be bad. I think this is why they give you two with the kits. With the S2000, if you trigger the SRS light, you have to do a manual reset procedure using jumpers. The light won't clear automatically if you complete the circuit again. You may have to do the same with your SI.

[@racingwithbrad]

Just brought a Neo Grinta 350mm in Leather. I wish to mimmick your setup but on a NC MX5/Miata, am I right to say that you used a PCD adapter to make the NRG work with the Nardi/Personal bolt placement? Really hope you reply! :)

[@TheSlipAngle]

The NRGs bolt up to most aftermarket steering wheel hubs. This one is mated to an NRG hub, but I also have them mated to my Mazdas using Dakei hubs.

[@racer668]

I want an aftermarket wheel but need cruise control.

[@planbog5115]

I did this step by step and have an srs light still.i did mess up and tried testing the resistors with the car on which means it popped an srs light but even a reset wouldnt work after I completed the resistor install.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Did you try both of the resistors? I think they give you two because they are cheap and prone to failing.

[@Fishyxstick]

What metal piece that you needed for the horn what is it called currently missing that piece, previous owner didnt I stall so I have no horn..

[@TheSlipAngle]

I think it's called a contact ring? Are you local? I have a bunch of them and you can have one.

[@yellowmanv1986]

How do you like the setup so far? Also do you feel like the wheel is at the same position or is it closer to you.

[@TheSlipAngle]

So far it's not bad. I almost think I can do with a slightly shorter hub to push the wheel forward a pinch. This setup puts the wheel closer to you than stock.

[@caiallen3071]

Do suede steering wheels 'really' last for street use? Or do they look awesome for 6 months then it time for a new wheel again?

[@magnetic0314]

Cai Allen they get ratty really quickly. And theyre much less grippy than a decent leather wheel on bare hands. They're intended for use with gloves for rally or track driving but it's just another carryover trend that makes no sense.

[@TheSlipAngle]

I haven't used one with a car that I drive daily, however I have had suede wheels in a few of the cars for years now and have found that the key to keeping them clean is to minimize the exposure to oils on your hands, so either wear gloves or use anti-bacterial to degrease your hands.

[@sunsinpak7604]

Thank you for this guide. I split my finger on the metal gasket, they couldn't debutr the edges down? Lol. Also had the quick disconnect installed upside down the first time haha. However, I still get srs light. Mine is ap1 and the airbag wires were not thick like the ones on yours so I couldn't jam the resistor prongs into the wire, guess the connection I made was not good, gotta get back in there. Any pointers?

[@davec7299]

Why wouldn't you mark with a marker the place of the steering wheel for factory steering wheel?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Do you mean so I can re-install the factory wheel if I ever needed to? If you get the wheel nice and straight before removing it, the amount of travel the wheel will move before engaging the teeth again is enough to see that you are not putting it on straight.

[@him240300]

Anyone have help for the SRS resistors for an AP1? I'm still getting a light, I had to use butt splices because the wires were too small from the car body. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Did you go through the reset procedure to clear the original SRS light? Also, NRG includes 2 resistors with each hub and part of me thinks that they do this because of the likely hood one may be bad.

[@him240300]

Garage Quinn Motors cool, I'll give that a shot. I did reset the light, but it comes back on shortly after starting the car back up. Thanks!!

[@JorgeLopez-ep6gq]

Have you had any issues with the quick release? do you have any play in the steering wheel with that set up?

[@TheSlipAngle]

No issues or play at all with it. I run these in all of my cars too 👍

[@JorgeLopez-ep6gq]

awesome!

[@shehabamr]

I installed my full NRG setup (including steering wheels) but it's tilted, is that an alignment issue or should I take everything out and follow ur steps?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Tilted as in not centered when the wheels are straight? You can try moving the hub over one notch on the steering shaft spline, but your front toe could also be off a little as well.

[@shehabamr]

when the car is moving the steering is tilted to the left a little bit in order to go straight basically... i half assed the installation cuz i put it on when i was picking up the car

[@TheSlipAngle]

I would try moving the hub over one notch. It that doesn't get it straight, toe is probably off a pinch. Nothing an alignment can't fix!

[@adamame5958]

Hey so i couldnt fit the resistors into the wires so i spliced them and connected it. The srs light came on i did the reset and its still on can you help me out?

[@TheDerrty111]

Buy the resistor at ebay** 2.2 ohms 1/4 watts %5** type that in the search column. Your welcome!

[@TheDerrty111]

Once you do that you need to reset the srs light by jumping the srs connection with two bare wires

[@aisu8481]

Trick for putting the ground wire out of the way: the wire will snugly squeeze between the blue cap and the body. holds the end in the air

[@aisu8481]

Also, does your setup extend the steering wheel towards you at all?

[@TheSlipAngle]

I usually spec the quick release size based on how far forward I want to push the wheel to me, but yes, this setup moves it closer to me.

[@apolloravindran]

How tall are you and what size hoodie are wearing, need for size reference....

[@TheSlipAngle]

Hey Ravindran, I am 5' 11", 180 lbs and am wearing a size medium 👍

[@LoopMotorsport]

Amazing

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you!

[@LoopMotorsport]

You answered my comment, nice. Very good your channel. I am from Brazil, if you can, check my channel, I have a Honda Civic EK4, b16 engine. Thanks!

[@TheSlipAngle]

No problem, anytime!

[@andreschavez9927]

Link to the Resistor used for the airbags? Please

[@TheSlipAngle]

Just google NRG Airbag Resistors

[@MM-sw1lo]

comes with also red nuts? i just have seen only black nuts

[@TheSlipAngle]

Those were titanium units I bought separately.

[@edelfurioso22]

Where can I buy srs plug? Thanks

[@TheSlipAngle]

Just google NRG SRS Resistor and you will find a bunch of places that carry them.

[@seeker0587]

there is no radio control on the wheel?

[@TheSlipAngle]

No

[@jmalarcon0612]

U still got that s2000 steering wheel

[@24Tunnel]

Should have used shrink wrap instead of tape on the airbag resistor

[@izzycroptik]

Just as I was seriously considering an NGR QR you uploaded this video XD However something is stopping me from getting one on my NA Miata. I'm 6'3" and I have a flat steering wheel with a 65mm hub. My current setup just puts the steering wheel under my wrists with my stock seats fully pushed backwards. By the look of the setup you got (which what I also wanted to get) it looks like the steering wheel is pushed further into you and that would be too close for me I think :(

[@TheSlipAngle]

They have a slim quick release option that might be suitable for ya, but I do not have any experience with it. The short hub for the S2000 alone would keep the wheel too far away. The Gen 1 QR I used spaces the wheel towards me just about right.

[@izzycroptik]

Garage Quinn Motors Thanks dude! Will look into it!

[@izzycroptik]

Garage Quinn Motors one last question.. how thick (depth / offset) is the short hub on your Miata? I can't find definite answer lol Some stores say 1.3inches, other say 2.6inches

[@TheSlipAngle]

Sorry I missed this, I actually run Daikei hubs in both of the Miatas and neither of them are short.

[@kjwong4730]

How many cars do you own ? Love the s2000.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks man, 11 at the moment.

[@harootpashayan]

how can I turn off the Airbag light?

[@TheSlipAngle]

There is a reset procedure posted on the forums

[@tomrast9629]

love it which store online did you buy it? and part nr ? thank you anyway my wife loves your red miata retro interior great videos

[@TheSlipAngle]

JHPUSA. It's a Personal Neo Grinta 350mm in suede. 👌

[@191601916]

So thats why my damn horn wouldnt work!

[@TheSlipAngle]

::thumbsup::

[@TheMrMisc]

Do an S2k vs na miata comparisons!

[@TheSlipAngle]

It's coming!

[@MarkCalica]

Didn't you have 2 grounding gasket?...

[@TheSlipAngle]

They come with two, but I only needed to use one between hub and quick release because the hub gets grounding from the steering spline. From the quick release to the horn button I ran that little wire.

[@everythinggaming7938]

Does the suede wear down?

[@TheSlipAngle]

It does if you are not careful about the oils on your hands. Degreasing with antibacterial helps before driving.

[@MaXGTS1]

Suede and alcantara wheels are meant for track use with racing gloves. If you don't use gloves your wheel will very quickly get greasy and matted down from the naturally occurring oils on your hands.

[@mastercivic007]

Hey Dude ! I love those video .. I wish had closed capital.. cuz I'm Deaf .. question what ur optional wheel steering size ? I'm 5'7" taller ..

[@TheSlipAngle]

Aw man, sorry Rudy. One of these days I'd like to get around to adding CCs to them. All my cars that have aftermarket wheels in them are 350mm. The Personal wheels like this have a taller overall diameter then say a Momo 350mm because of the beefier brim thickness. I think 350mm is the perfect size for most sports cars. Not too big, not too small, but just right :)

[@mastercivic007]

Hi good evening Mr Quinn, I just bought it 350mm , Agreed U its better size for me that I can see cluster , before 310mm hate it lol , I cant find wire SRS to place resistor 2.2ohm, but no spring reel in car.. and I found horn wire.. my car its 2000 any idea ?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Hey Rudy, so you do not have a clock spring assembly? Did your car have the wheel installed when you bought it? If you do not get a hub that has a notch for the wiring coming out of the clock spring, it is possible that someone removed the assembly to get around this. You should be able to pickup a used assembly cheap, but you may have to change the steering wheel hub to one that has clearance for the clock spring plug.

[@mastercivic007]

Hi Mr Quinn, yeah before the owner sale car to me. I just find out missing clock spring correct.. I looking everywhere and eBay its had one left AP2... mine AP1 different one.. I guess so I do custom metal coil its works well.. I did lot cars before... for aftermarket wheel steering and hub... I can't wait looking forward ur new Video ! I love it .. all Project S2K... I was thinking upgrade some Willwood Caliper front brake kit.. what u think ?

[@kylevisitacion334]

Was that a stock horn?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Yes it is.

[@kylevisitacion334]

Thanks for your time

[@TheSlipAngle]

Anytime!

[@robertanderson9013]

What are the rims and tires on that cool S2K?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Rays 57 Extreme

[@EVLGTR]

calls a stock OEM honda badge "ricer looking". what are you on man?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Stock Honda badge is not ricer, I just don't like it plastered in the center of my steering wheel. I like the OEM Ap1 steering wheel better or the later 06+ where they used a chrome outline of the Honda emblem on the airbag.

[@everythinggaming7938]

New wheel without airbags. Great!

[@BrawlFreak786]

I wish there were more 4 spoke steering wheels out there

[@laughoutlloyd8]

This guy talks about the steering wheel emblem being ricey? What a tool. Who the hell puts green lug nuts on that silver s2k and not call that ricey

[@TheSlipAngle]

Hey buddy thanks for taking time out of your day to watch my video and comment. I hope it taught you something!

[@nawle0412]

My car's steering wheel is bottom flat I want to install a round steering wheel.

[@pho_rari]

you keep calling the stuff “ricer” but you’re the person that bought it 🤔

[@TheSlipAngle]

Yes that is correct. I am a ricer

[@luisnavarrete8961]

Should have went with works bell instead of nrg !
