i changed the VTiR wheel with the Civic Type R momo wheel.
It feels better than having a bat!

well i got some info from da mechanics..it's not hard to do
also cost 35 bux to put in and rmove original
but the thign is...if u have an accident, insurance wont cover u.
it's not the copz..copz is easy..
so pretty big issue

I put a momo in mine, its a teeth grinding process

.

first you gotta remove the 2 screws on the sides behind the plastic covers that let you remove the air bag, make sure u take out the fuse for the air bag and disconnect it before u do anything, to get the screws out you need a tamper set, can get it from any hardware store, then undo the bolt in the middle of the wheel then you can pull it off. then u have to remove the airbag controller

, its jst 4 screws around the black box behind the steering wheel.

then you jst bolt on the boss kit and the new seering wheel. u have fun with that, glad I dont have to do it again, it's a pain tring to get it straight so good luck.
