Honda S2000 AP1 Steering Wheel Install | EK & EJ Civic
Фильм және анимация
Today I install a MINT Honda S2K AP1 steering wheel into my daily Honda Civic! This can be done on a variety of Civic models such as the EK and EJ and is a HUGE upgrade over the stock wheel.
The Install for the new Civic steering wheel is pretty straight forward but this should be a helpful video for anyone that needs to replace a Civic air bag or wants to upgrade to an aftermarket wheel. The S2000 wheel is nice because it retains the SRS air bag, horn function, and can be setup for cruise control. For reference, I'm installing the wheel in my 1999 Civic Ej8 Ex Model, but this should be the same routine for all 96-00 Honda Civics.
Honestly, the hardest part of this entire process was just finding a nice S2K steering wheel to upgrade to. You can also use an AP2 wheel but I do like the look of the AP1 more. Everything else is cake minus a few tight bolts. Most people upgrade their wheel to an NRG or some sort of quick release wheel, but if you have felt an S2K wheel, then you know how nice they are! I would recommend getting some kind of steering wheel lock like The Club to prevent theft or your new wheel getting stolen.
After the install, I give you a quick initial review of the wheel and I LOVE IT! Makes for a whole new driving experience and really does FEEL like I'm driving a different car. Just goes to show how much a wheel can make a difference. Hopefully enjoy the video and found it helpful!

@@brandonixchop979 I know its been a while but im gonna throw this out for you since you seem to care about the car, an LX im assuming has a D16Y7 engine, probably also a manual? If its automatic those can only hold about 170hp tops before it will not last long in the car. They can handle the turbo and its been done plenty of times on this engines it is the only reliable cheap way to make power, but for that, make sure you go ahead and put in better pistons and rods, look up vitara builds, if it is the D16Y7 and you want VTEC look up the mini-me swaps and you can do that as well, keeping the block and upgrading the head to a Y8 or Z6 head or the likes. Remember to make it long lasting to get not the regular ARP head studs but the other upgraded ones to really clamp down to the head and not blow a head gasket. There is plenty of research material out there so make sure you do your due diligence and research prior to pulling the trigger and buy parts. And remember to have fun!
That was more entertaining then it should have been

The EP3 type R and DC5 RSX wheels are also really similar, just sans cruise control buttons. Definitely putting on in an EK, besides seats it's kind of the only interior mods you need

Is there a way to check what OEM Honda steering wheels are compatible with specific models of Honda civics? I’m not sure what specs to look for in an OEM Honda steering wheel for my 96 Honda Civic LX
If it was me I'd switch out the cruise control switches seeing how the connector don't match up. But great video!😊

I got an RSX wheel with an insight airbag for a total of 9 dollars at the junkyard. But as for fitment this wheel only fits 96-00 civics. 92-95 and integras have different splines.also ap2 and rsx airbags are 2 stage so they won't work

Where did you buy this steering wheel? Does the cruise controls work? I have a Honda Civic 1999 which the cruise controls works perfectly.
I have a 1995 Honda Civic ej1 coupe will it direct fit ? Or do I have to change the steering column? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Anyone know if the CTR steering wheel is plug and play just like this? I don't want an srs light on and j want my horn to keep working. TIA.
Do you have a link for the 2 side panels you got for the steering wheel by any chance? I just got an ap1 for my ek civic but has no side panels.
Hey man nice video!, i'm just wondering if you can put rsx/dc5 steering on a dc2??

Does anyone know if the S2000 airbag is the same as the RSX airbag. My car came with the RSX steering wheel but I’d really like the have Honda logo rather then the Acura logo so I was wondering if I could just switch the airbag rather then the whole steering wheel
in theory couldn't you lock the steering column in the center to not worry about putting it on wrong?
I approuve what he is saying !
Are all steering wheels universal like for example can I swap a 6th gen Accord's steering wheel with a 6th gen Celica's steering wheel?
Damn the air bag just plugs right in too? I was considering putting a rsx type s steering wheel in my ek hatch but air bag is not functional

Anyone know where you can buy the side panel for the s2k wheel mine is missing them aswell I can’t find them anywhere 😢
Would an aftermarket s2000 steering wheel also work? Like a custom one?
Where did you get side cover from?
What was that brown wire that was clipped into that spade on the left of the wheel?
nice upgrade. too bad the cruise isnt plug and play. does this work the same on a 94 integra?
Does the honda insight steering wheel also fit a honda civic? Del sol
How much did you get it for?? I recall on a video you said they went up so I'm wondering how much is a good price for it, thank you.
I just bought a 95 Ej that came with a s2000 steering wheel on it. Horn doesn't work and the SRS light is on..
Is it also worth it when you have a clean Civic steering wheel? I can buy the s2000 wheel for $200
I miss my civic. I have a BMW 328i now and I dont hate it m, but it needs too much love and it's way more complicated lol
So the cruise control are not comparable?
I have an 02 civic coupe do you think an Insight wheel or S2000 steering wheel fit?
have a lead on where I can source this same wheel for an ok price...would this fit an 04 Es2 EX Sedan? Thanks
Mine isnt coming out i have everything disconnected even the airbag but it doesnt budge
Could you install this on 2002 civic coupe?
Can you make the cruise control work if you install the s2k steering wheel ?

The price on them OEM wheels damn near doubled what you got yours for.
hey did the cruise ever get hooked up?
Is this steering wheels airbag a single stage deployment or 2 stage?
By any chance do you happen to know if a 2004 honda civic SI steering wheel will fit my 98 civic ex? If so would you suggest i get it or should i go with something else? They are selling it to me for $70 not sure if thats a good price.

It's a direct fit except the cruise control. I just got one for my CR-V
It's crazy. Ebay has the AP1's for well over $300 in decent condition. They're not selling however as it's the same ones that have been listed for weeks, even months now. Car-part. com has a few listed but near same price range. I think the hopes of getting one at a "reasonable" price are long gone now sadly
Wow wondering if it will fit del sol too?
So do you think you can fit a quick release for it ? I’m not really worried about the air bag .
