Hey michael im a big fan of your work im 18 years old and i appreciate your work too please make more videos it would help me out alot , i have a 1997 Honda Civic ek coupe
Great tutorial your the only one that mostly shows everything and which one is recommended. Thank you so much!! This video helped me alot on my DA Integra.
I dont know if you are going to read this or not but i love the message you provided in the video and talked about the importance of a good quality steering wheel rather than the cheap ebay wheels i see way to many people put on because they are to impatient to save up. beautiful car and awesome video!
Awesome vid. Great advice. Clear reasoning. And To many ignorant people comments down below after youve explained why, how, and the results of your goal in which youbare trying tobreach. Dont listen to the R Tards Bro. I hope you Win your next race and Win Often as your future goes forward.
I've encountered about 4 stripped bolts before and I've removed all of them the same way. I used a TORX head screw driver that fits just enough in the stripped screw head. I attached it to a power tool and set it to reverse to remove the screw. Sometimes, this will make a bigger stripped whole which is completely fine. You move on to a LARGER TORX head screw bit and attached it for a snug fit. Keep trying and you'll get it out. apply A LOT of pressure downwards when you remove with power tool
I cut the horn wire that was wired into the original stock steering wheel. I took a paper clip and connected the wire that I cut to it. I bent the wire and use the screw to secure it in place behind the steering hub so that the paper clip is always touching the metal surface on the back of my aftermarket hub. I connect all the wires on the steering hub, quick release adapter, and steering wheel and it works. It should be easy to do.
for anyone with airbag light on a 92-95 civic you can bypass the srs light by adding a ( 2.2 Ohm 1/4 or 1/2w 5% resistor) while the car is off, install it between pins 1 and 3 on the yellow srs connector, the pins are labeled 1-6, after you install the resistor reset your srs light, youtube has a video tutorial for the EG civic, once you do that, it should be gone, you could try to reset it without a resistor but it will come back on eventually, Also, pin #6 on the yellow srs connector is for the horn, this only works for the eg civic 92-95 not sure if its the same for integras or not,
NRG quick release black short hub for 96 Honda Civic -> NRG gunmetal Gen. 2 quick release adapter kit (first part attached to short hub end and the second part attaches to steering wheel end).
I know but I think putting two steering wheel clubs top and bottom of your steering wheel is a better protection because any thief can just put on a new steering or unscrew the aftermarket hub and use their own hub and steering wheel. It will take much longer to remove the 2 wheel clubs than to replace a new steering wheel on a quick release setup.
@Ralph Miranda there are sliders on this seat. The offficials at the race track told me i had to sit this close to the wheel. I just dont bother adjusting it on normal driving
eBay is probably the best place to look because it has the most variety. It has fake stuff, cheap stuff, real stuff, rare stuff, etc. just pay attention to seller feedback, item description, and price.
I already have thin side moldings. It's in my bedroom. I'm saving up my money to get it painted right now so I can put it on my car. Just pull the plug behind your cluster for the SRS light. LOL
Seat sliders would've been a lot cheaper than buying the steering wheel and all the accessories that came with it. Nobody NEEDS an aftermarket steering wheel, they just want one, just like you. Hell, I want one.
Sliders is not cheap. Also, I NEED the quick release. Understand why quick release steering wheels why these were invented in the first place and you'll understand. I have to sit really close to the wheel because I cannot press down on the clutch pedal firmly unless the seat is forward enough. However, when the seat is this close, it is difficult for me to get in and out of the car without removing the wheel each time (the reason why these were invented in the first place). Customizing my seat brackets
A quick release is not necessary unless your car has seats that are bucket and very close to the steering wheel and you can't get in and out because of the space. This is the case for most racecars. Also, it I think its possible mix brands as long as the bolt pattern on the hub and quick release matches.
I think it has to be a 2.2 ohm resistor but yea installed my quick release set up and made the horn work it was pretty easy just used electrical wire and a piece of metal and it works
The cheap eBay hub I had before seems really fragile. The material seems really weak especially the metal part where it makes contact with the splines. Also, it didn't have grooves behind the hub that connect to the turn signal canceling mechanism so I had to move the signal stick back every time. I made my own grooves but it eventually broke off. Here was no play that I was aware of for the hub itself.
These are stock factory Honda Civic seats. Also, I cannot firmly press down on the clutch pedal if the seat is further than this because I am too short.
I didn't do a horn tutorial because there's a few very well written tutorials on the web and it's for EKs too. Also, there's also a good horn tutorial on youtube and it's for EKs too.
LOL. People always ask me that. I like how the stock cluster looks very stock with the interior and the dash. The Type R cluster stands out too much, it doesn't look as simple as this one.
yeah that's really good because that stuff should all cost about $460. Just make sure all those parts are real though, especially the quick release adapter. The fake ones don't say NRG on it.
Look up tutorials on how to install the horn button on google or something. There about 3 different tutorials for the exact Civic too. It tell you which wire to cut from the gray connector. I think it was the middle wire.
The ring button that I show to the camera at 2:53? That ring is used to hold the Horn button in place. If you don't want to have a horn button on your steering wheel, then you don't have to put it on.
Hey Michael, good vids I have watched a few, and also own a EK myself. The more I am doing stuff to it, the more the value is going up and the higher it is becoming with attracting attention, and attracting attention to the wrong people is just gonna happen and when that time comes I want to be prepared, so I was wondering what alarm system do you have? You probably answered this question before in a past video but I was looking through some and didn't see any comments mentioning it, so if you wouldn't mind I would greatly appreciate it!
nice video,, I think the best about quick release I´ve seen...question, How I know the steering wheel will be align properly if I release it and put it again?
He said the quick release was 30$ the Hub was 10$ and the was 30$, and it added up to 100$. WE HAVE FINALLY FOUND AN ASAIN WHO CANT DO MATH CORRECTLY!!!!!
No. The OLD steering wheel popped off, not the NRG one. The old one was a cheap eBay one and it didn't even matter because it didn't have a safety button anyways.
Wow! So when the installation is completed... everything goes dark!?! jk lol Really nice video and very detailed step by step explanation!! How does the steering wheel feels? Solid? does it flexes or bends?
I removed the bulb. Can you believe it? 3 years ago, I went to the Honda dealership because I had a SRS light. I read somewhere that it comes on 10 years after the car's production for like a safety thing or something. I took it there and they inspected it for $110 and the light went away. When I made this video, I had to remove the SRS bulb. What a waste of $110. LOL!
It is true. In Georgia, a Honda is stolen every single week and I get news about it on facebook and I'm not even exaggerating. My car is not daily driven because of theft reasons.
Michael Flare came back to view because i bought the actual NRG quick release recently...had an Ebay one before, however i was lucky not to get a bad quality one, but i did pay more than $30 for it though....NRG hub only made the removal of the wheel faster and gave it a nice look...also feels more firm!
LOL. Did you listen to the video carefully? I used to have a cheap eBay no brand steering wheel kit and it was extremely dangerous. It popped off and the steering wheel was ALWAYS loose on the quick release and hub. It was never a secure fit. That's why my sister got me the NRG kit. I recommend the NRG kit because NRG is probably the most affordable good quality brand out there.
You're supposed to use a steering wheel puller, you can rent one from autozone for free. Most cars you would have to destroy the wheel to get it off of the column
my eBay steering wheel in my si (em1) was horrible, I used to turn really soft and that's hard to do without PS, and the steering wheel still kept getting loose. now I said fuck that and got nrg stuff for my dc2 GSR. nice ek I always wanted one! your paint is mint!
Thanks for the upload! I feel your pain about the seats, I have the NRG Recaro reps and still feel the same way lol but couldn't your dilemma been solved with seat sliders?
I've been following your videos for a while and enjoy them for the most part however it always has seemed like you're afraid of everything lol, the way you get into your recaros? If they were so expensive why run them? I have the jdm itr recaros in about equal condition as yours, and I got them for 300$ CDN on rails. Never had an issue with ruining my bolsters lol and I use my car as a work vehicle.
eBay. Make sure you buy the NRG one, not the no-brand named ones. Also, look at seller feedback, rating, and reviews. Read item description carefully too.
Go on eBay or go to the official NRG website. I prefer eBay because you save about $10. Make sure you read item description, look at seller rating/reviews, and look at prices.
Get MOST of your stuff on eBay. eBay is one of the best sources to get all of your used, diverse, authentic, or fake products. For the NRG parts, the short hub alone should cost somewhere around $80. Quick Release adapter is about $120. The Steering wheel is at least $120. If any of those things are significantly cheaper, than it's probably not authentic and just a replica of NRG UNLESS the item is used. Read item description carefully and seller feedback. Do this to all your items in the future
You won't be able to isolate the airbag to ONLY work on passenger side like that. You have to understand how a SRS works. IF ANYTHING is wrong with the airbag system, it shuts off the ENTIRE unit through the whole car for SAFETY. This prevents airbags from deploying randomly on accident. The system is ALL OR NOTHING. If one thing doesn't work, the entire system won't work. I hope this makes sense. I got my thin side moldings from a friend's crashed EK for $100. These things go for $300 no joke!
Alfred Sianez At the time I got it in this video, It spent about $330 for the 3 main parts you see. I think the price has dropped over the years and you can get the exact things for about $300, maybe.
Ya that sucks u could've used that money for the thin moldings lol I going to try to get rid of the light with a resistor when my quick release arrives tomaroow
Hey Michael I have some questions. I recently bought a nrg quick release and I put it in watching your video. My questions are, how did you get the srs light to turn off? Second, when you took off the airbag and steering wheel, what wires from the stock steering wheel did you leave on so you can hook up the horn?

Makes huge deal about safety, removes safety button
Hey michael im a big fan of your work im 18 years old and i appreciate your work too please make more videos it would help me out alot , i have a 1997 Honda Civic ek coupe
Great tutorial your the only one that mostly shows everything and which one is recommended. Thank you so much!!
This video helped me alot on my DA Integra.
details are gold in videos. ++better than most I've seen thanks.
Nice video, Nice Kit! Good safety points.
You should put the safety button back in. It's called that for a reason.
Awesome vid bro this helps anyone who doesn't know how to install their quick releases
Bro thanx a bunch, i wasnt even thinking about the possibility of the steering wheel coming off.
I dont know if you are going to read this or not but i love the message you provided in the video and talked about the importance of a good quality steering wheel rather than the cheap ebay wheels i see way to many people put on because they are to impatient to save up. beautiful car and awesome video!
I've had it for exactly a year and it still feels super solid and safe.
Keeping them Recaros crispy boii! Respect ✊
Absolutely perfect. It's still completely sturdy.
Awesome vid. Great advice. Clear reasoning. And To many ignorant people comments down below after youve explained why, how, and the results of your goal in which youbare trying tobreach. Dont listen to the R Tards Bro. I hope you Win your next race and Win Often as your future goes forward.
Thanks this was useful for wiring my EKs horn.

Love the seats
Video helped me out a lot, thanks bro
Thanks for the help i just got a nrg deep dish steering wheel and this helped alot

great video man, good job on the step by step. also LOVE that Ek, beautiful
Thanks alot....very helpful.

Nice video and very helpful!!
Great video bro.
I'm glad you're okay because no one's life is worth $70!!
this video is so informational thanks bunch dude
Great video man really helped me out

Because I can't press down the clutch pedal firmly with these seats unless I scoot up. I don't think its uncomfortable. I like it like this.
inspired me to get one with your video!
Thanks for the help.
You have to use an AFTERMARKET hub but it doesn't have to be a SHORT one, it can be the regular longer one.
eBay is probably the best place to look because it has the most variety. It has fake stuff, cheap stuff, real stuff, rare stuff, etc. just pay attention to seller feedback, item description, and price.
I already have thin side moldings. It's in my bedroom. I'm saving up my money to get it painted right now so I can put it on my car. Just pull the plug behind your cluster for the SRS light. LOL

Customizing my seat brackets
Good video. Get black button head cap screws (Allen heads). It will look so much nicer and match the black wheel.
+JOEGGGJOE I did get them a few days after I filmed this video.
A quick release is not necessary unless your car has seats that are bucket and very close to the steering wheel and you can't get in and out because of the space. This is the case for most racecars.

I think it has to be a 2.2 ohm resistor but yea installed my quick release set up and made the horn work it was pretty easy just used electrical wire and a piece of metal and it works
The exact NRG steering wheel model I have is ST-012R with 320mm diameter.

Great video. =) I have stock seats, so I don't really need one. Maybe just a wood grain steering wheel cover :P
@Michael Flare Nujabes, nice taste in music bro, you definently got my subscribe. R.I.P. Seba Jun

Here was no play that I was aware of for the hub itself.
great video!
I got mine from a warehouse in Georgia called Midnight Performance but I recently just heard that they are no longer in business.
LOL. That's the tires rubbing against the garage floor because I was turning the wheel when the car wasn't in motion. It's just rubber squeaking.
These are stock factory Honda Civic seats. Also, I cannot firmly press down on the clutch pedal if the seat is further than this because I am too short.
actually didint know you got a nrg there pretty good as well
Oh, I had no idea. You're probably correct.
I didn't do a horn tutorial because there's a few very well written tutorials on the web and it's for EKs too. Also, there's also a good horn tutorial on youtube and it's for EKs too.
Nice valentine one! i know some people who make em!
dude love the roller handles for the windows, i just brought the same kit but
skr 130h and a momo wheel good vid tho.
The NRG quick release is $130. The NRG hub is $80. The NRG steering wheel is $120.
LOL. People always ask me that. I like how the stock cluster looks very stock with the interior and the dash. The Type R cluster stands out too much, it doesn't look as simple as this one.
yeah that's really good because that stuff should all cost about $460. Just make sure all those parts are real though, especially the quick release adapter. The fake ones don't say NRG on it.
I want to wear out the seats as minimal as possible to preserve it as long as I can.
Look up tutorials on how to install the horn button on google or something. There about 3 different tutorials for the exact Civic too. It tell you which wire to cut from the gray connector. I think it was the middle wire.
No. Some cars use different spline count on the hub to the car. Find the specific hub for your car.
I removed the plug for the SRS light behind the cluster. There's no point in leaving it plugged in because the SRS system will not work anymore.
The ring button that I show to the camera at 2:53? That ring is used to hold the Horn button in place. If you don't want to have a horn button on your steering wheel, then you don't have to put it on.
I got the used cage for about $500. The hubs for Mustang/Fiesta might be interchangeable with the Ranger but I am not completely sure.
Im not a fan of Hondas but great job man. Looks like an easy install (:
Hey Michael, good vids I have watched a few, and also own a EK myself.

I'm sorry but I don't talk about my alam and how its set up.
nice video,, I think the best about quick release I´ve seen...question, How I know the steering wheel will be align properly if I release it and put it again?

I cannot firmly press down on the clutch pedal if the seat is further than this because I am too short.
NRG Short hub = $85
NRG quick release = $130
NRG wheel = $120
Honda horn button = $20
Wow! So when the installation is completed... everything goes dark!?! jk lol Really nice video and very detailed step by step explanation!! How does the steering wheel feels? Solid? does it flexes or bends?
It should come with all the hardware that you need to put it together.
Thanks!
I removed the bulb. Can you believe it? 3 years ago, I went to the Honda dealership because I had a SRS light.

Thnx Man , Luv The EK , Be Careful Were You Park It!
It is true. In Georgia, a Honda is stolen every single week and I get news about it on facebook and I'm not even exaggerating. My car is not daily driven because of theft reasons.
what you really should of been installing is sliders for the seats LMAO
The seat has the stock factory sliders on them.
Michael Flare why are you sitting so damn close to the steering? lol
I can't press down the pedal firmly without scooting up.
Michael Flare came back to view because i bought the actual NRG quick release recently...had an Ebay one before, however i was lucky not to get a bad quality one, but i did pay more than $30 for it though....NRG hub only made the removal of the wheel faster and gave it a nice look...also feels more firm!
Thats not a real bucket seat its adjustable... people funny lol ahaha
Ok thank you.
....the noise in the video when I start my car is not my security system by the way; it is my Valentine One.
LOL. Did you listen to the video carefully? I used to have a cheap eBay no brand steering wheel kit and it was extremely dangerous.

The hub is not universal. It has to be he right fitment for your car. The quick release adapter is universal though.
Are you still using the same setup? How's holding up now? Thanks for the video 👍🏼
Another reason why you need a quick release steering wheel is because you have a Honda lol bait for robbers.
Michael how much did the kit cost you? It looks clean.
should get a fullset for 300
Thanks jayhondaDA9

yeah I got you man
These are the regular stock seats.
Hey Michael I have some questions. I recently bought a nrg quick release and I put it in watching your video. My questions are, how did you get the srs light to turn off?
