Honda S2000 AP1 Steering Wheel Install | EK & EJ Civic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- 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!

That was more entertaining then it should have been
Matthew Fry haha right? Thanks!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY What needs to be done to get the cruise control to work? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Watching your videos is really making me consider a civic
ramari cover haha, who woulda thought right?
There fun man!
Same here
yeah in the uk you can pick one up for £500 - 1000 but the coupe and the saloon are rare
As a civic owner, it is a good car to own. You can literally do anything with them.
Never sell a car that has sentimental value to you
Yup, I just recently bought my dads 93 toyota pickup from him. And I wouldn't sell it for a thing.
I’m recently working on my dads civic lx. I’m a beginner at fixing cars but so far I have decently customized the car plus upgrading the engine 😖
@@brandonixchop979 hey man what’re you thinking bout doing, I’ve had my ek for a year now and I could give you some tips
@@kidtuners4309 well mainly updated the horse power of my civic like add a turbo switch intake and so on but also find a good body kit for my civic 😖
@@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!
Me: " That steering wheel doesn't look too fancy, why bother "
0:53 ... "oh..." 🤣
S2000 cluster
That steering wheel looks great in that car, almost looks like it could be factory
i like mods like that,
It makes a car different in little subtle ways
You deserve more subscribers, man. Your videos are very good!
Just installed my today on my 98 Civic EX. Thanks for the video tutorial.
That’s so cool it’s The little things in life that make us truly happy ! looks really dope!!
My wheel is the same with the messed up rubber and have been lead to this solution to keep cruise control too thanks man
Just got my steering whee today, I’m excited to install.
Now your civic is 9k all day! Lol s2k guys will get it.. Love the content got an ap2 and white 2017 grom myself.
Hell yeah! Looks awesome👀, i want to do this to my civic too hopefully I can get my hands on one 🤞🏼
That wheel is amazing! Beautiful. It transforms the entire look
Just bought mine yesterday, gonna install mine tomorrow
I just did this to my Civic. Really easy because of you. Thanks ADA!
Since the s2000 wheel is smaller - did it block visibility to the instrument cluster?
@@carlloftin2850 i didn’t notice from the way I have everything situated.
@@carlloftin2850Just did this swap myself. It can block it, but thats why there’s a tilt lever. Had to raise mine just a bit since the stock wheel is bigger.
Anthony i just bought an AP1 AND IM SO EXCITED
Excellent Choice Liked the Swap.
Thanks dude
Man I love ya. Found one by 270€ and was like 50km away only, i couln't be more happy. Installed short shifter as well at the same time, you are damn right, it feels like a totally diferent car (Ek3 here, sedan). I wouln't had go for it if wasn't for you, so thanks very much. Now i'm waiting a type R seat replica and JR-11 15' wheels, can't wait to put it all together
yes, one seat, 2 were out of budget xD Going functional over aesthetic, i drive alone most of the time anyway
Watching your videos makes want to fix up my civic, which I’m doing
Amazing how much difference the steering wheel makes
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
Aren't the airbags diffrent as far as single stage and one 2 stage?
너도 EP냐
I just discovered some of your videos and I appreciate them a lot. Very good quality and explanations! And that steering wheel is CRAZY! Dumb question: how do i know if that steering wheel would fit my EM2 7th gen civic?
It looks like you are checking the horn and also the airbag deployment scenario in the same time XD 10:55 cheers man.
SALMAN AL-Harethey haha I absolutely was!
I like that steering wheel because of it's design and it feels better when driving with it I never installed one when I had a 98 coupe but I plan to get another one civic and put another one on
It makes a huge difference in terms of feel
Holy crap that was tight
:)
Buying a civic because of you n a remind how cool they can be for a cheap price
They really arm!
Man all these civic videos are awesome!
About to swap a EP3 sir steering into my ek, thank you
Nicely done. I wonder how hard it would have been to keep the cruiser control?
Not hard just need to change the clip
can also buy an S2000 wheel w/o cruise and use an adapter plate to relocate stock CC - easily reversible
Hey Anthony, love your channel bro, your content is very valuable and educational, keep up the great videos bro 😉🔥. Ant, would an AP2 steering fit our Civics too?
Same question I need
Yeah I know what you talking about bc i have the combination feel a big difference and by the way that is a nice clean civic 👍
some one cut my steering wheel in half when i used the lock for it...they’ll do anything to get away with your stuff if they really want it
Serous man they do that im scared
My friends car was block in and had a steering wheel lock right they broke into the other cars to move the cars and take his em1 lol I was like wth why not take the truck too
Used to own 2003 civic si. Same wheel, loved it and miss those front seats as well. :(
masterpd85 the ep3 Si had awesome seats!
Wish i could find a clean Honda like yours that i can use as a daily while i Park and keep the miles off my Focus ST.
I want one for 7th gen!! Looks so good
They do look awesome!
Wow this is 5 years old video and still helping out lol
I found one in excellent condition but is $400
And two hours drive lol
But I’m definitely going to pick it up
Because I won’t find another one close by me
I got a EM1 all stock except the radio
But I feel like needs better steering wheel so this be better
Or I should leave it intact
🤔😀S2k be better I think
Thanks for the video
Nice Job
If it was me I'd switch out the cruise control switches seeing how the connector don't match up. But great video!😊
I approuve what he is saying !
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
i changed the piece that deploys the air out from the back part onto the single stage piece its 4 lugnuts of 10mm
Hey man nice video!, i'm just wondering if you can put rsx/dc5 steering on a dc2??
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
Do you have a link to those side panels you bought for the s2k steering wheel?
Very nice! But what about the cruise control?
I opted for rsx type r steering wheel with the red chrome Honda emblem
nice upgrade. too bad the cruise isnt plug and play. does this work the same on a 94 integra?
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 🙏🏻
Where did you get side cover from?
Just wondering , where did u find the plastics covers for the side on the steering wheel , can’t find them any where !?
Hey bro did you end up finding out where to get them? I need them as well.
Nice
That is awesome! Where did you get the steering wheel from?
eBay!
sub and like a bit behind lol love the steering wheel
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
The price on them OEM wheels damn near doubled what you got yours for.
nice
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.
Would an aftermarket s2000 steering wheel also work? Like a custom one?
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
Im debating this or a quick release
in theory couldn't you lock the steering column in the center to not worry about putting it on wrong?
Could you install this on 2002 civic coupe?
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?
I’m gonna do similar, I ordered a JDM momo ep3 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
What was that brown wire that was clipped into that spade on the left of the wheel?
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
I'm looking at this swap also, but I can't go without cruise control. How do you get the cruise control to work?
Only thing missing in this video lol
Did you figure out how to get the cruise control to work?
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.
So the cruise control are not comparable?
Anyone know where you can buy the side panel for the s2k wheel mine is missing them aswell I can’t find them anywhere 😢
have a lead on where I can source this same wheel for an ok price...would this fit an 04 Es2 EX Sedan? Thanks
Does the honda insight steering wheel also fit a honda civic? Del sol
Can you make the cruise control work if you install the s2k steering wheel ?
Are there any good swaps that keep cruise control working
hey
did the cruise ever get hooked up?
The s2000 steering wheel will not fit on to a 92-95 civic/93-00 integra unless you switch to a 96-00 civic steering column shaft
Will this swap work on a 2001 honda crv?
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..
Hey man whats going on with you hazard lights button? It looks like its got some plastic under it raising it up? Also what did you pay for your s2000 wheel?
Yeah that was damage from the assholes that broke into my car a year ha lol. It’s fixed now
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.
Hey man, why didn’t you attach the cruise control? Awesome video!
Didn’t feel the need to. I don’t use it
ALLDAYANTHONY can I hook it up if I want to? Will it work?
I have an 02 civic coupe do you think an Insight wheel or S2000 steering wheel fit?
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
I wonder if you can put an s2000 steering wheel on an integra
Wow wondering if it will fit del sol too?
Hello, would this work for any Acura Integra like a 1994 - 2001?
360p crew checking-in!
@alldayanthony what year S2000? I wanna see if I can find one in junkyard.
Would this fit a 91 Honda Civic ?
Is it also worth it when you have a clean Civic steering wheel? I can buy the s2000 wheel for $200
Mine isnt coming out i have everything disconnected even the airbag but it doesnt budge
Would This Be able to fit on an 03 Accord?
What size torx bit is that for the airbag t30?
What is the part number for the s2k steering wheel side cover , mines dint come with it either !?
You will have to look at a online Honda dealership site for the p/n. Other than that...eBay, Craigslist, FB Marketplace, car forums, etc...
I rlly hope this will fit on a 95 coupe
where did you get the steering wheel if you don’t mind me asking
💯
Is this steering wheels airbag a single stage deployment or 2 stage?
So do you think you can fit a quick release for it ? I’m not really worried about the air bag .
I have no idea to be honest
...only for aftermarket steering wheels, not OEM ones. It's not impossible but a lot of fabrication needs to be done.
