Hi Vincent, Old Miata fan here. Nice job on the video, I’ve had the wheel off several times but didn’t know how an upgrade would be done. You cleared that up, thanks. Typically, I have a picky complaint, the air bag is retained by four 10mm nuts, not bolts. Really a minor thing, your video is otherwise, clear, well spoken and very informative. Thank you for being well above the RUclips average.
You are the one who really explained to me what to do. To let the leftover enegry go out of the system. So that your airbags won't pop, keep on going with you nice videos!
I can't help but see the visual similarity between you and the villain from the original Fast and the Furious. You're like a young Johnny Tran, before things got all messed up.
Hi, i am new to this car stuff and i would really love to know what's the reason behind purchasing a quick release steering wheel. I mean, is it purely for cosmetic reasons or there is some added benefit from using it?
Yessir!! I honestly love this wheel color & design, & these coilovers are amazing for the price as well! I'm really glad that my video could help you out (:
Thank you! I really appreciate the support (: I've been looking into a tilt hub but honestly, they're pretty expensive & I'm just trying to budget the build a little bit right now to focus on maintenance things like brakes! After things get settled I'll definitely look into different hubs & steering wheels.
How do you like this hub and wheel set up dimension wise? I'm 6ft and the stock wheel is hitting my knees constantly. So, do you find that hub depth and deepness and diameter of the steering wheel to be working well? Great video btw, i'll be following this along exactly.
Hey Vincent, wanted to thank you for your videos! I've watched everything I could find about installing coilovers and the Daikei hub in my NA prior to install. During the install I found I would refer to your videos. Clear, concise, not much fluff made for a perfect reference. Went into the installs confident and they turned out great! I do have one question about the Daikei hub. My hub cover seems to leave a 1/2" gap at the back (Bad description) did yours fit perfectly or did you have a gap?
Hey where can I get that hub? I’ve been looking around but don’t trust many websites. Thank you and great video I’ll be using it when I get all my stuff in
Is there any links for a 91 miata airbag resistor? I just bought the exact same stuff but I got the nb2 stuff and not the na6 with airbag stuff. Thanks
Hey, I'm planning a similar setup but with a short hub, QR, and a 350mm 75mm deep dish. Was just wondering if your setup felt too close to your face. I'm scared my setup might poke too much.
PLEASE DISCONNECT YOUR POSITIVE SIDE TERMINAL ON CAR BATTERY FIRST. ALSO DISCONNECT THE AIRBAG AND HORN CONNECTORS BEFORE YOU SNIP THE STRING NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Thank you! It is a 350mm wheel with 88mm Dish. The hub is around 80mm, so it brings the wheel towards me about 168mm which is around 6.6 inches. I can see all the gauges properly but because of a more upright seating position, the wheel just barely clips off the top of the oil pressure gauge. If I lean the seat back a little then it’s perfectly find. I hope this helps! (:
Honestly, not really because the stock NA miata steering wheel size is 355mm & the steering wheel I got is 350mm. A 5mm difference is barely noticeable to me (:
If you struggle for legroom, a wheel around 300-320 will make a noticeable difference. You can also fit a spacer to bring the wheel out from your knees a bit more.
I'm not sure about video walkthroughs, but here's a forum writeup for you about the hub! revlimiter.net/blog/2013/11/nb-steering-wheel-install/ I hope this helps you out (:
I believe it should work, but the issue is that this hub is pretty lengthy. It's around 80mm long (~3 inches) by itself. If you get a deep dish wheel like I did and add the quick release, you probably won't be able to reach your blinker/wiper stalks easily. As of now, with only the hub and the deep dish wheel, I can only reach the stalks if I loosely grip the wheel with my thumb and stretch my hand out. If you want to put a quick release on top then you should look at the bell works short hub (~50mm) or NRG thin version quick release hub (~30mm). Make sure to do your research on specific parts and figure out measurements so you know exactly what you're looking for (: Good luck!
@@pubgspecter6705 Then I would definitely look at the works bell short hub, it's supposedly a plug & play kit and it's basically made to be used with quick releases!
Yes! It should work with that hub, but the only issue is that the hub is already around 80mm already. Adding a quick release would end up making the whole assembly pretty tall which means the steering wheel will be super close to you. If you planned on getting a deep dish steering wheel then the wheel might end up right at your chest. I recommend getting a shorter hub to compensate for the quick release (: Check out the NRG short hubs or Works Bell short hubs. Maybe even the NRG low profile quick release as well! Good luck!!!
Here you go (: Just make sure you get the right model/size for your miata www.projectgla.com/main/product/daikei-steering-wheel-hub-1990-2014-mazda-miata/
You can get this hub yourself from either of these links: www.projectgla.com/main/product/daikei-steering-wheel-hub-1990-2014-mazda-miata/ rev9autosport.com/daikei-boss-hub-kit.html Make sure you get the right model for your car, there is the airbag version and the non-airbag version. This is because the diameter of the steering column differs from miatas that came from the factory with steering wheel airbags vs without steering wheel airbags! Enjoy (:
this guy is deadass one of the most entertaining youtubers and is super informative
Thanks man, I try to research to the best of my abilities so I can give out proper information (:
This gives us confidence to replace a boring steering wheel, thank you and you are a great teacher.
I love that interior, the black is so clean and all the leather is really nice. Just a treat to look at.

i literally just ordered the daikei hub kit & this is absolutely great for when i go to install mine! thank you
You are the one who really explained to me what to do. To let the leftover enegry go out of the system. So that your airbags won't pop, keep on going with you nice videos!
I'm really glad I could help! No one wants an airbag exploding in their face :p Thanks for the support!
Just did my Momo steering wheel installed and also used a Daikei kit like you did.
Great video. Simplistic and to the point.
Thank you!
Thank you for in depth walk through covering will be following this as my walk through with similar hardware.
Of course, thank you for the support! I'm glad it helps you (: Good luck with your install!
no idea why you were suddenly reccommended but i aint complaining.
Really good explaination btw.
A sudden recommendation is a sign to subscribe to keep seeing new videos (: Thank you for the support!
I completely understand this one and I've got it memorized ...thanks

Thank you! I'm keeping up with your budget turbo build as well (:
Awesome video! Extremely informative and super clear instructions. Cheers
Thanks! I’m really glad I was able to help you out (:
Great guide. I decided to mimic your set up and referenced your video during install. Informative and very helpful!
Yo nice video man. Dont got a car or anything but very interesting video to watch non the less. Best youtuber ive seen in years
Thanks man I really appreciate the support, maybe your first car can be a Miata (:
Your vids are so high quality and nice keep up the content man I love it
Thanks I spend a lot of time prepping and trying to get the right camera settings & angles! Thank you so much for the support (:
So, no more airbag? lol, I thought it was illegal to remove them, but really love the look of the new wheel especially without the plunky airbag!
I........LOooooooove......my MoMo!!!:)!!!!... their...# 1....handmade in Italy!!!:)!!!!
wheely cool! enjoyed the use of the word torquey boy (:
thank you wheely much!
-t o r q u e y b o y
Wow this is very well made and super informative, when I get my Miata I will watch this to install my steering wheel
Hey thank you for the detailed info of the installation. Can you share where you bought the connectors for the horn and resistor
I can't help but see the visual similarity between you and the villain from the original Fast and the Furious. You're like a young Johnny Tran, before things got all messed up.
I'll keep my airbag, thank you.
Hi, i am new to this car stuff and i would really love to know what's the reason behind purchasing a quick release steering wheel. I mean, is it purely for cosmetic reasons or there is some added benefit from using it?
Good job dude! Only drawback for me... $239.00 for the Momo! But good job!
Momo is definitely worth the price over cheaper alternatives like NRG! Thanks for the support (:
There are good enough copies on aliexpress for $30. You just don't get the sticker.
good vid bro much needed info 🤙🏼
Thank you bro! I'm glad my video was able to help you out (:
OMG we have the same hub and wheel. Even the same coilovers! Your coilover installation vid really helped!
Yessir!! I honestly love this wheel color & design, & these coilovers are amazing for the price as well! I'm really glad that my video could help you out (:
Do you know where could I find that Daikei Boss hub?
Love the install video! You should look into a quick release or tilt up in the future 👌
Thank you!

@@VincentLawv no problem glad you appreciate it🙏🙌
Is that a lock-on odi/vans bike grip on your shifter??
What are those side mounted cup holders!
PLEASE DISCONNECT YOUR POSITIVE SIDE TERMINAL ON CAR BATTERY FIRST. ALSO DISCONNECT THE AIRBAG AND HORN CONNECTORS BEFORE YOU SNIP THE STRING NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Do you know where to get the horn and air bag wires?
do you have a link where to get that steering hub/ thanks
Where can i find that cup holder interior plastic??
how deep is the dish on this steering wheel?
what shifter is that in the video?
Looks cool man! Hoe much mm is your steering wheel and hoe is the view of the gauges
Thank you! It is a 350mm wheel with 88mm Dish. The hub is around 80mm, so it brings the wheel towards me about 168mm which is around 6.6 inches.

Vincent Law thanks man! I was debating of buying a 330mm and 350mm but I think Ill go for the 350mm
Is this legal and will pass mot
Can you do this for your first mod?
How can I get this steering can u plz tell me
can you still reach the stalks?
Did u feel a noticeable difference in size of the aftermarket wheel from the oem wheel?
Honestly, not really because the stock NA miata steering wheel size is 355mm & the steering wheel I got is 350mm. A 5mm difference is barely noticeable to me (:

This is not a quick release is it
Where can I find this same set up on video for the nb2 I need to know
I'm not sure about video walkthroughs, but here's a forum writeup for you about the hub!
revlimiter.net/blog/2013/11/nb-steering-wheel-install/
I hope this helps you out (:
Does the blinker turns off automatically now?
Yep! I didn't mess with any of the internals of the clockspring or switches so it worked perfectly fine after (:
Vincent really posted tutorials but doesnt get subs only veiws
How much for all thus ?
Does this hub work with a quick release? If you bolt the quick release onto the end of the hub
I believe it should work, but the issue is that this hub is pretty lengthy. It's around 80mm long (~3 inches) by itself.

I subbed btw bro keep up the good work!
Can u please share the link for the hub?
Here you go (: Just make sure you get the right model/size for your miata
www.projectgla.com/main/product/daikei-steering-wheel-hub-1990-2014-mazda-miata/
Is the torquey boy a good boy ?
the goodest of bois
like victor said, only the goodest of bois
I need tht for my nb2
Go for it man! It's a quality hub & wheel setup!
Love the video but the camera focusing on his face instead of the wheels and wires triggers me so much lol
What is the link to the hub
You can get this hub yourself from either of these links:
www.projectgla.com/main/product/daikei-steering-wheel-hub-1990-2014-mazda-miata/
rev9autosport.com/daikei-boss-hub-kit.html

You could have taken off the airbag and have the steering wheel
Put a LSD in it and rip that wheel Miatas are tin cans almost lost my life in one
It’s got a torsen in it! I’ll think about ripping it around though (: I’m glad you’re alive and well man, stay safe out there!
Airbag delete is not a very good idea
Very true, but it's better if he had a bucket seat and a 4/5 point harness in his car
You on Instagram bro?
I have an instagram, but I don't post photos often. You can still go ahead and check it out @vincentlawv (:
