Finally installed my 99-00 wood steering wheel. I was slightly worried that it won't fit when I ordered it, but it turned out to be identical, except with matching woodgrain.


It's not perfect, but I got it for $150 shipped, so I can't complain:


Here's some random macro shots too:

^ Where did you get the wheel from? I need a new one mine is all cracked. How hard was it to install?

I got it off ebay, just got lucky and found one for cheap that matched perfectly. You just have to keep and eye out for it and look all the time.

It was pretty easy to install. Just disconnect battery, remove the two torx screw on the side (you need a torx bit for this), remove the big nut in the center, unplug everything, take a mallet and start tapping the steering wheel all around until it pops out (took me a while, had to use some WD40 too). Then replace whatever components is missing on the new steering wheel and put everything back together (just make sure you don't mess up the alignment, be sure to put the new one back in the same position as the old one....so it's worth noting/marking what position the old steering wheel was in before you remove it).

Progress! Remember when your pulling your fenders to take your time. I pulled mine in like 20 minutes because idgaf and need body work anyways.

Also what size tire do you plan on running? I'm running a 215/35 Nankang NS2 on the 9 and a Fullrun 215/35 on the 10. So essentially 205/35 and 215/35.
