Default Is300 hub adapter with paddle shifters+Momo wheel

So I was anxious about putting a setup I bought back in December to use (or try to). It is a works bell paddle shift neo with black carbon paddles, boss adapter, and Momo drifter wheel (Im tall, long limbed and have big hands, most others might now like the distance between the wheel and shifters/ wiper/signal)
It's mounted and working, still a few touches to finish completely (need to order 2nd resistor for airbag light, hook up horn button, and trace the cluster info display button wire color) I have a 2008 electrical manual so I did not hack and test which wires were what but overall I am very happy with the setup and it definitely gives a different appeal about the car.

The boss hub has 4 little overcasting fins at the bottom and a plastic clock spring piece that needs to be removed. Use locktight on the wheel bolts and be sure to tighten the nut holding the boss in place!

Best mod to the car yet, I'm digging it, are the paddle shifter functional? Also, get rid of those things in the cup holder! haha

Nice, I was wondering if installing a wheel like this was possible in the isf. I had a grip royal in my sti and I loved it. I thought it was cool to be able to detach the steering wheel.

It's 100% functional! Drifting the isf is amazing, Autocross can be a bit hard trying to paddle shift so I was using the stick instead. The kit comes with a single resistor so you'll need to order a nrg resistor off amazon or someone has said to be able to make one. Yes I agree josh, I quit for 9 months and a s heap of issues had been happening (someone trying to rob my house a few days over a couple weeks span). I plan to kick it very soon and get back on the sober bandwagon, alot more $ for parts!

350 might be the same, it helps if you can get a wiring manual, for the most part everything is pretty straight forward from each part of the steering wheel. You'll need to cut the harness from clock spring connectors to the wheel to splice into and tuck it under hub cover. I plan to put a secondary set of buttons from sparco (dual red buttons that mount between boss n wheel) to have the gauge cluster info screen selector button and n20 purge.

Why do you need the resistor? It disables the SRS, and if you are tracking your car, nothing could be better. If it disables the EDR, even better.
