1988 Steering wheel from a civic...

Fits our cars perfectly (hub wise our hubs bolts are 3/4 inch sockets) however you have to remove the surround from the top and the bottom. I'm glad i went to the j/y got this for $15 and the civic box for $10, also found some cash in the car $4 to be exact so it cost me $21 for both and i got my money's worth, i pulled the whole air assembly, (exluding the intake manifold) just incase i felt like i was getting jipped later...

EDIT: I also got the stock intake tube i was missing, off the car i got the fender off of, and the civic was a hatch btw.

so the consol around the steering wheel hub or w/e, is there going to be a cover? or is it just gonna be naked like that?

[3rdgenhatchDX]

yes for now, i dunno if the civic one will fit, i'll have to go back to the yard and get it... so we'll see...

[HondaBoy]

yeah pretty much any honda or acura, and maybe the rover/sterling 825 and 827 steering wheels. i'm quite sure the wheel from the civic will fit. you should look for a prelude wheel. i think those look great, i used to have one on mine before i got a grant wheel.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

yeah i know the civic had the piece you used for your insert i believe, you did get it off the wheels right?
Edit: BTW this is the wheel i really wanted glad i got it so cheap!

[blazin3gen]

it makes the car look older heh

[Deadhead]

IMO i like our stock steering wheel better....

but the prelude one's just seem like they might have a more padded wheel?

The prelude one's are great because you can wire up your cruise control to it (if you have it)

[1320boy]

how bout an S2k wheel???
anyone think that would fit???

[HondaBoy]

i doubt that a lot newer steering wheels will fit our car. its possible though. S2000 wheel really wouldnt go well the old accord's interior. it'd be too rounded to match.

I'm going to the junkyard on friday to get me a lude steering wheel.......
That looks pretty good though

[3rdgenhatchDX]

older ...its one year newer than the car, More padded? its only got one horn button, WHICH IS THE WHOLE PADDING! Lude steering wheel? which one???

[B16KILLA]

Not entirely sure but it has the cruise control buttons also,i think it's off of an 90 i'll see if i can get pix.

[B16KILLA]

Here it is ,it's actually from an 88 but the one i'm getting has the cruise control butons on it-

[HondaBoy]

yeah that looks like mine except mine had the cruise control buttons on it.

i doubt that a lot newer steering wheels will fit our car. its possible though. S2000 wheel really wouldnt go well the old accord's interior. it'd be too rounded to match.

I think it would look good in our cars, its not that much different than most of the ones that you see people putting in there Accords now.

It looks nice, but I personally wouldn't have chosen that steering wheel. Mostly because it doesn't have the cruise controls for my LXi, plus, I'm a four spoke steering wheel fan. I just don't like the hand placement on the 2 or 3 spoke steering wheels. Just a personal preference though, and I do like the look of that one. So over all, nice find, but not for me.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

whats wrong w/the hand placement?

[HondaBoy]

i found the prelude wheel to have perfect placement for you hands. 10 and 2, right where you're supposed to have your hands set. and on mine it was designed to be comfortable and had a shape to where your thumbs were accommodated so they dont become uncomfortable. great design, IMO. that's one reason i got it. my newer Grant wheel is very much like the prelude one also, has the ergonomic design so its comfortable. thats one reason why i went from the prelude wheel to the Grant.

LOL.......I had a Lude wheel a while back, I couldn't GIVE it away. I never used it, and nobody wanted it.

SO this is what I got instead.....WAY better IMO. Oh, it's quick release too.

[Gemini2003]

OMG Hawt

[3rdgenhatchDX]

if i bought a quick release hub for this 'vic wheel could it work? i mean i know it'd work if i invested, but what hub should i get a grant one?

[3gn86lxi]

I don't think it would work on a factory type wheel.

[87accordHB]

I have lots of the 1-2 gen steerling wheels if peeps interested? How hard would it be to had a legend steering with that has SRS?

[B16KILLA]

Finally got my lude wheel check it out:
