Went ahead and raced the rain doing mine today.....only one **** up! The damn nut never tightened up when installing the adapter and it cracked the plastic seat or whatever it is and was too hard to turn so removed it and found some white ribbon looking **** exposed. Anyone know what that is and if i fucked something up bad??
Otherwise i reinstalled everything careful not to tighten down the adapter too far and all seems well now. Will text drive it next week as i don't want to get caught driving in the rain.
Column is locked so that's why it's slightly off center at the moment. It sits straight and hopefully drives just as straight! LOL

Here is a quick question... can I get rid of that yellow circle thing? That is only for the airbag right?
I only have that one horn wire and am trying to figure out if it should have two wires, one being a ground.
I am also looking to replace my wiper switch, which looks like a bitch to do..

I would have to look at some other diagrams.. I cant remember off the top of my head.. I know the clockspring comes out as an assy. but as far as something surrounding it, I don't know for sure. As long as what you're removing isn't attached to the steering controls (if you have them) you should be fine with gutting everything but like I said, I can't remember for sure.

It sounds like your car only has one horn/horn button. I'm not familiar with early 4th gens. My car had two horn buttons, and one wire running to each button (a red and a yellow wire). When I installed the aftermarket wheel, it only had one horn button, so I connected both wires to the single horn button. You just need to connect your red wire to the aftermarket horn button.

I finally got around to putting in the steering wheel, for me I had to replace my wiper switch which was a headache because everything needed to come out.
here is my advice for the wheel install.
-Take out the clock spring, it's a waste of space because you don't need it, and it's easier tp pull it out intact rather than cut the wires and leave it there.
- don't grind the back of the momo hub, grind the 1/2 inch on the bottom sides this will allow a bit to fit into your steering column and look nicer instead of sitting outside your steering column.
Here is a shot of what my wheel looks like. It makes the car feel 100 times better, especially with the rag joint eliminator..

Installed mine today. I ended up leaving the yellow center and just cut the wires. I only had one horn wire too (94 ) but just ran a second wire to the ground located on the mono hub. It'll try get pics up tomorrow.

Here's a shot from today...just excuse the dirty interior as the car has been in storage for over a year, just haven't gotten around to cleaning/washing it yet. The wheel is a Tenzo R Version 5 mounted on a MOMO Hub adapter.((The wheel is off a little due to it being locked.))

Finally got around to installing my steering wheel. I did a couple thins different than posted.
1. I removed the air bag rotater connector in the column and unplugged it at the base of the steering colomn.
2. That's where I made the ohm harness....although the 2.2 okm resistor did'nt turn the light off for me.
3. I cut a piece of the connecter from the wheel for the horn and cripped my own spade terminal on it.
4. I had to grind 1/4" of the base of the MOMO hub so it would clear the steering column

I'm not having any luck getting my airbag light to go out. I tried the 2.2 resistor and no resistor. I unplugged it at the base of the steering column to do this as I took the rotator out of the system. Does anyone have any other ideas or fixes for the airbag light? Yes I have done a search.
