I'm with you! :biggrin:Hugh said:I'd put a wheel from another Honda vehicle on my car long before I put on a wheel that said "Momo" on it. Momo is an old slang term from my youthful days in NYC. I might as well paint my car pink and wear matching lipstick if you know what I mean.
TURBO2GO said:I don't like the feel of my wheel just like Steve. Its too thin. How is repadding /re-leathering the factory wheel so bad? Its still the factory wheel... just thicker and better shaped...

I guess I can find out, since I have both. Check for later posts!!! The steering wheel diamter is little smaller than the NSX. I think...SFMarine0311 said:Thats a nice wheel! I do agree the older nsx steering wheels are very plain and way too big. I'd like to know if some of these wheels are interchangable as well. I love my s2000 wheel. It grips great and is very small.
TURBO2GO said:LOL Au.... All this from a guy who looks in his rearview mirror to back up and sees nothing but two blue tubes and the fins of his intercoolers.... :biggrin:
That is OK mind you, but be cursed if you swap out your factory radio!
I did just that. I put the M3 steering wheel with paddle shift to my 330xi with auto trans. It was so easy. Only if I could say the same for the NSX.:frown:DVDoughboy said:I agree with you.
I loved the thickness of the steering wheel from the E46 M3. And the wheel got thicker in the Z4M coupe. I would love to have that kind of wheel in the NSX
TURBO2GO said:What about taking the factory wheel, stripping the leather, welding new metal in a different shape (you can do a flat top or bottom like many modern race cars), installing much thicker padding, installing some nice thumb notches, then covering it in a nice two tone leather. Can't this be done? I am sure it is not that hard. You will have modern looks, and OEM functionality. No worries about the airbag, horn or cruise.
Skylark said:I've been thinking of doing this very thing to my wheel. At 6'7", one of the first mods I made to my MkI MR2's was swapping out the steering wheels with small diameter Momo units, which gave me a bit of much-appreciated room for my legs at the thigh (plus, I just prefer the driving feel of a smaller wheel). They're pre-airbag cars, though. With the NSX, I definitely want to go to a smaller wheel but I've been concerned about how to handle the cruise controls and tossing the airbag. I think I'll see if I can find someone to rebuild my OEM wheel with a smaller diameter. Probably gonna be pretty expensive to keep it "factory" in appearance, but... I'll post any significant findings.

TURBO2GO said:Please do. I contacted leatherseats.com and they can easily re-leather a wheel. Two tone or whatever. I want a junk NSX wheel to experiment with..
Thats exactly the problem....i've tried on mine a DC2/DC5 Momo SRSless wheel....and it fitted perfectly (as so any other Honda...they share the same connection shape)
..... but.... the levers for turn lights and windshield washer were so near the wheel that almost was a contact.... obviously you can't drive a car without your fingers to freely move arround the back of the steering wheel...
