Let me sell the steering wheel first, then we'll talk about the cookies! LOL

 

Yes and if it bolted right in, it would be a 2000 dollar job not a 13,000. I don't doubt your uncle's mechanic capabilities at all, I bet he's a great mechanic and can repair and replace parts on vehicles that need it. But does he built custom cars? Does your uncle have access to a machine shop that knows how to make custom transmissions? Does he know how to build his own four wheel drive system? Does he know how to tig weld, because that's what would be needed to hold in new motor mounts because the engine won't fit right now. Can he do that? Like I said, it's a 13,000 dollar job. The engine doesn't bolt up, and he might have better luck putting an ls2 in you're car.

 

he put in a 400 big block on his 97 silverado

 

i have a mint one from my evo ix (black metal finish)...pm me with offer if you're intersted.

 

ohh, the IX wheel is nice, check my profile to see one in an oz lancer


as for the lancer => evo conversion debate..... SEARCH NOOBIES!! (I know some of you are verterans, I'm making a joke you rediculously serious people) lol, I know most/all of you have read about it before in other threads. Keep this one on topic......

 

Does anyone kno how to wire it up so that you can retain the stock air bag?

 

does the evo come with cruise control? I have it in my OZ and I want a EVO wheel but I dont want to lose my cruise (even tho I dont use it). lol. Anyone know?

 

Unscrew one bolt, unplug 3 wires, switch wheels, connect two wires unless you found a way to hook up cruise (3rd wire), and put the bolt back on. Seriously, there's a how-to about this..... but the only hard part is that the bolt is a PITA to get off.


I've heard that you can wire cruise control up, but it isn't exactly easy. I haven't had mine in about 6 months and still don't miss it. I'm usually too busy thinking about how nice the wheel feels and looks. Seriously, it's smaller than stock oz wheelsand has a great grip.

 

hey guys i won the evo 8 steering wheel just bought 1 off of kimletrim for $270 cant wait to get it in my hands to install pleasure doing buiness with you kimletrim
i will post pics when i have it installed

 

hit me up if you run into trouble army

 

o 4sure man i appreciate that hopefully install goes well but its always good to get to know more lancer owners in the area!

 

just tracked my evo steering wheel i bought of off kimletrim and it has been delivered yessssssss to bad im at work and cant get to it. i will post pis of the install tomorrow

 

For the love of god make sure to disconnect the battery and wait at least 30 minutes. The last thing you want is the airbag going off while you're trying to work.

 

thanks for the advice im gonna try doing it myself with the very little tools that i have if i cant figure it out then i will take it to one of my friends or take it to a shop

 

It's easy, all you need is a hex wrench I think (can't remember what it is I used).
