    Question Steering wheel trivia

    Alrighty then... who can guess what car my steering wheel is off of? It's wrapped in tan leather, the horn and cruise (at the bottom) buttons work like they should, and it bolted right in/connected to the reel just like the stock one.

    Any guesses?

    Lude wheels had the cruise on the right side spoke, not the bottom. I think the tegs were different from that as well but I can't remember I through the teg wheels I had away long ago. Leather huh, maybe thinking thats from an Acura Legend

    1st gen Teg is out of it. The 86-87 has 3 STRAIGHT spokes. The 88-89 has the same steering as the 3G Accord.

    2nd gen Lude has a 3 spoked wheel that has odd left/right spokes that are skinny, and straight. The later Si (86-87) have a similar wheel to the one shown.

    1G Legend has a 4 spoke wheel, with differences between 86-87, 88-90.

    3G Lude has skinnier spokes than the wheel shown. And the edges are rounder.

    The top of the 4G Civic wheel is rounded, and it has no buttons.

    So, I'd say 86-87 Prelude 2.0Si.

    But, did the 86-87 have optional leather seats? Usually, if you get a leather wrapped steering wheel, it's made to match the interior. That would make me think that the interior would have had to be available in a saddle colored leather.

    I really would have said the same thing, but what threw me off was the leather.

    How bout those strange cars that were made of Honda parts. Namely the 1st gen Legend.

    I think it was a Merkur or something strange like that. It was a 4 door luxury sedan. It had strange styling just like that steering wheel too.

    thats definately not something from a legend or any acura. definately not a prelude. but it was powered by honda! its a sterling 925 or 927 steering wheel. i personally didnt thing it would fit. nice. do you need the center cap for it or is it marked out. that does go good with the 3gee! i have 2nd gen prelude wheel in mine.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    Sterling 827

    http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...page_id=536572

    In fact, Honda and Rover had a partnership back in the days where Rover provided Diesel engines to Honda and Honda provided regular fuel engines to Rover.

    When Rover sold their share to BMW a couple of years ago... Honda wasn't informed and got reaaaaal mad at Rover.... the later model of the sterling wan't as reliable as the one made by Honda hehehe

    It's out of a Sterling 827. All you have to do is pull off the horn cover from the bottom (it's made of a rubbery material) and the wheel will bolt right on using the same 19mm nut that the 3gee uses. Now I am working on shaving down the honda emblem to fit into the slightly smaller space in the center of the Sterling wheel.

    I also picked up a 2nd gen Prelude SI wheel, but I liked this one better.
