Honda S2000 AP1 Steering Wheel Install | EK & EJ Civic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 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!

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.
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? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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!
S2000 cluster
Me: " That steering wheel doesn't look too fancy, why bother "
0:53 ... "oh..." 🤣
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!
That’s so cool it’s The little things in life that make us truly happy ! looks really dope!!
Just installed my today on my 98 Civic EX. Thanks for the video tutorial.
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.
Just bought mine yesterday, gonna install mine tomorrow
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
Anthony i just bought an AP1 AND IM SO EXCITED
Watching your videos makes want to fix up my civic, which I’m doing
Excellent Choice Liked the Swap.
Thanks dude
Amazing how much difference the steering wheel makes
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?
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
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.
Holy crap that was tight
:)
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
Hey man nice video!, i'm just wondering if you can put rsx/dc5 steering on a dc2??
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!
About to swap a EP3 sir steering into my ek, thank you
Do you have a link to those side panels you bought for the s2k steering wheel?
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
Buying a civic because of you n a remind how cool they can be for a cheap price
They really arm!
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
Very nice! But what about the cruise control?
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.
nice upgrade. too bad the cruise isnt plug and play. does this work the same on a 94 integra?
Man all these civic videos are awesome!
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
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
Where did you buy this steering wheel? Does the cruise controls work? I have a Honda Civic 1999 which the cruise controls works perfectly.
Where did you get side cover from?
If it was me I'd switch out the cruise control switches seeing how the connector don't match up. But great video!😊
I opted for rsx type r steering wheel with the red chrome Honda emblem
I approuve what he is saying !
Wow wondering if it will fit del sol too?
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
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 👍
So the cruise control are not comparable?
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!
Would an aftermarket s2000 steering wheel also work? Like a custom one?
Im debating this or a quick release
I have a 1995 Honda Civic ej1 coupe will it direct fit ? Or do I have to change the steering column? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
hey
did the cruise ever get hooked up?
Could you install this on 2002 civic coupe?
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
Are there any good swaps that keep cruise control working
in theory couldn't you lock the steering column in the center to not worry about putting it on wrong?
I want one for 7th gen!! Looks so good
They do look awesome!
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.
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.
Does the honda insight steering wheel also fit a honda civic? Del sol
What was that brown wire that was clipped into that spade on the left of the wheel?
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 this fit a 91 Honda Civic ?
The price on them OEM wheels damn near doubled what you got yours for.
Is it also worth it when you have a clean Civic steering wheel? I can buy the s2000 wheel for $200
Can you make the cruise control work if you install the s2k steering wheel ?
I wonder if you can put an s2000 steering wheel on an integra
That is awesome! Where did you get the steering wheel from?
eBay!
What size torx bit is that for the airbag t30?
Where did you get the side covers? I need some
wow you have an lancer evo there bro.... why tinker around bout the civic?? evo is so cool..
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?
where did you get the steering wheel if you don’t mind me asking
I have an 02 civic coupe do you think an Insight wheel or S2000 steering wheel fit?
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
Is this steering wheels airbag a single stage deployment or 2 stage?
What stereo player are you using?
Great video. Do you have any input for the cruise control wiring to make it work?
Would This Be able to fit on an 03 Accord?
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
@alldayanthony what year S2000? I wanna see if I can find one in junkyard.
have a lead on where I can source this same wheel for an ok price...would this fit an 04 Es2 EX Sedan? Thanks
Would this be a possible fit for a Acura integra ?
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..
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
nice
360p crew checking-in!
I’m late but what radio is that? And where can I get it!
Hello, would this work for any Acura Integra like a 1994 - 2001?
Did you buy a short hub???
how much did the steering wheel cost want to get one
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?
I rlly hope this will fit on a 95 coupe
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’m gonna do similar, I ordered a JDM momo ep3 wheel
do the dashboard from the s2k
Anyone know where you can buy the side panel for the s2k wheel mine is missing them aswell I can’t find them anywhere 😢
Will this steering wheel go into a EJ1?
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.
