Steering wheel hub adapter question

[King James]

Are all hub adapters essentially the same?.....I mean is the one on ebay for 20 bucks gonna do the same thing as the name brand one that costs 5 times that

Im not gonna lie I didnt search hard.....but I need a fairly quick response.

werd.......also sorry for thread jacking but i'd also like to know what are the proper procedures to change my factory steering wheel to an aftermarket wooden removable one, what will i have to do with the cruise controls, and will the horn work the same way? considering i dont have air bags of course lol

i just got a NRG short hub and quick release. all i need to get is the lock.

[King James]

I dont really know many of the name brands for hubs.....but im assuming that aint no 20 dollar hub

I dont need the quick release shit.....I have a feeling that if i take off the wheel ill eventually loose it....and I dont foresee myself taking the wheel off at the mall or something....cuz then id have to carry it around and its just a pain in the nuts then.

a decent momo is only 60 o.o

get one for a 92-95 civic or 94-01 integra.

[King James]

Also I see on the neuspeed website it says you need the momo hub adapater for momo steering wheels....it makes sense.....but is it true....or is it a way to get more money outta me? haha

Im not planning on getting a momo wheel anytime soon.....I broke my stock 92/93 and I have a 90/91 on there now but it doesnt sit right....I can get a deal on an aftermarket steering wheel as temp fix.....but in the long run I do want a fancy smacy steering wheel....but I dont wanna have to buy 2 hubs if i can avoid it.

ya but 60 american is like 80 canadian....then add shipping and its up to 100 bucks again.....which ill gladly spend if the cheap ones dont do the job as well....but if they do the job just as well I dont wanna spend that when I can put that money towards.....say.....stainless steel brake lines or poly bushings lol

don't go cheap or you'll pay later if you cant do it rite now just wait and get it later

kool man .....how much did you spend on that setup!? can those hubs be used with any steering wheel?

James.... I think mine was like $27 shipped. Its the second one Ive used.

Its not "the best" and you dont get any "jay dee emm" boner points, but it works just fine for me. YOu can tell its cheap when you look at it seperatly... like theres lots of flashing from the casting and shit and the finish is lumpy... but who cares... Its not like you can see it.

Feel free to have a look at mine the next time you're out and you can see if you think its alright.

I dont really care if the thing looks cheap when you examine it.....The thing I wanna know is if the cheap hubs will work with the expensive steering wheels.

[AstroVannin]

Yes, they will.

lol, you want to trust your life to something that cost $27 shipped? It's not about jay dee emm boner points, which I see is the dumbest arguement ever when trying to rationalize NOT spending the money for a quality part.


"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it costs too much to be jdm, i'll go on ebay shopping spree, same shit waaaaaaaaa"

course you would need a hub adapter to install an aftermarket stereing wheel. Only oem ones come w/ the hub built in like the itr non-srs. Only problem with a momo adapter is you cant run a nardi or a personal because they use different bolt patterns, but they make an adapter for it.

I'd just buy a momo hub and have some peace of mind...If you make it a habit of half assing it and not spending the money--your car is going to be one big half assed pos.

What makes the "ebay" adapters of less quality than the momo or other expensive ones?

Appearance is one thing, actual quality is another. Vitara pistons look like shit, but can support just as much as the expensive, forged pistons.

Kinda like an "ebay" strut bar vs a Cusco. They're both equally functional and neither will last much longer than the other. One has jdm points the and the possibility of getting laid increase.
