Has anyone out there ever swapped an S2000 steering wheel in a 92-95 Civic? I have a 95 Civic EX coupe with SRS, horn, and cruise control. I need those steering wheel systems to work just as designed.
Here's what I think know so far:
1) The splines are different. The only 2 ways I know to get around this are to swap in a 96-00 EK steering column with the correct splines, or to cut the EK spline end off and have it machined and welded to my existing steering column.
2) I should be able to adapt the S2000 steering wheel wiring (cruise, horn, and SRS) to my existing wire harness coming up the steering column.
3) My original air bag is single stage and the S2000 air bag is dual stage.
4) Both air bags are 2 ohm impedance.
The $64K question is........if I am sucessful, will my current OEM SRS control unit have any electrical compatibility problems (voltage, impedance, etc.) with the different airbag causing either a premature or lack of deployment?
I have called dozens of dealers and Honda of America and it appears to be Top Secret information because of CYA issues. I am convinced if done correctly, that this will be just as safe as the current OEM design in the EG Civic.
