the wheel looks beautiful, if it didn't have so many downsides I'd think about that mod. how is the diameter of that wheel compared to the TSX one?
Also, if the EP3 is the same wheel, and has a working airbag, why'd you bother getting the Euro-R one? Wouldn't an easier mod to get the EP3 one?

Nice JDM mod, but just like most people - the lack of proper airbag deployment would worry me.
But still love the JDM whoring
I'm on the way too with a bunch of parts on the way. Maybe I can give you a little run for your money.

I'm driving the JDM Accord, but with a different steering wheel.
It would be easy to convert, as long as I have the right part number.
BTW, I don't live in States, so may be a problem aquiring from aj racing.
Nevertheless, would appreciate if you could share the part number.

Who need's a stinking airbag. Put it this way if you do get into an accident you will atleast have an "H" indentation on your forehead instead of a "A"

I think once you get those 4 or 5 point takata racing harnesses installed you will be fine without the airbag.
Besides...you will die either way because of how much time and effort you've put into your car.
Reminder: Takata products can be found at: www.takataracingproducts.com

Dam, that steering wheel looks dead alike to the RSX steering wheel.
Honestly, i drive an Euro r, and im not impress with what honda had offered a MOMO logo steering wheel.

nice... always liked that Euro-R Momo steering wheel.. I don't like the large diameter but thin stock steering wheel...
Any plans with the engine? 6sp LSD swap maybe?

How do you figure you won't pass an inspection?
I have never had my car inspected where they took the steering wheel off to look for an airbag. If you can find a way to bypass the warning indicator on the instrument cluster, you should be good to go. I'd figure the guys on clubrsx would know how to do that as well, always swapping out seats and steering wheels.
If you take it to the average Joes shop, they probably won't even notice the difference in emblems vs what the cars states on the title (Acura/ Honda)
Either way, nice mod. I really don't think you have anything to worry about come inspection time though.

^^ Check clubrsx. They have a few write ups of how to kill the warning indicators. If you can install a new steering wheel with no complications, I am sure a few resistors back there will be an easy task for you.

It looked nice, but I bet it cost him a lot of money with new JDM steering wheels, harness. etc. I prefer to leave stock steering wheel alone, it still looked nice.
