Alright..I have seen plenty of EVO's out now with aftermarket steering wheels. Even the Blue RRM (Congrats on the numbers in the article by the way) EVO featured in the latest Sport Compact Car had one....so my question is is there a hub that will fit the Lancer? Or do EVO's and Lancers use different steering hub. I would have to guess they don't as people have swapped steering wheels.

So any one know where to order a hub? Are they universal or brand specific..(ie. have to have Sparco hub for Sparco wheel...)

Any info appreciated...

 

WHen i bought a steering wheel i was told to buy a hub. It was a momo steering wheel so i needed a momo hub for my car. I had to sell it because the steering wheel had no airbag.

 

the loss of the airbag makes your car a hell of a lot lighter though

 

do you need an air bag if you have the harness?? Because that thing is holding you in the seat so well youdont really gert close to the dash. Just wondering if it would protect you any more in that case.

 

aint it illegal to remove ur airbags? i mean ya its your car but jus wonderin cause thats what i b hearin thats its illegal n s*

 

it is illegal to remove your airbags...also if your insurance finds out...they will cancell your policy or jack your rates up really high

 

thankx thats what i thought

 

Some guy in canada makes special ones for sparco and omp steering wheels.... Do a search... I know its not easy... Hope that helps a little... I'm still contiplating between the evo viii or a aftermarket one....

hmmm... i don't want the airbag...and don't care about insurance. Will an EVO adaptor hub work on a Lancer or is there even such a thing?

 

zooracer has the evo 8 steering wheel in his oz and it looks great. i would ask him. he told me the install was cake.

 

EVO VIII swap is straight over, no aditional junk needed. If you go with an aftermarket one you will need a hub. MOMO has a specific one for the lancer, don't know if sparco does tho.

 

do they really? i called and they told me they didnt. maybe the guy was just being lazy. i'll have to call and double check again.

 

ok so here's the deal. called momo themselves, they said no. no such thing is available according to them. i asked it they would be able to sell the evo8 steering wheel, and again no. they said its specifically made in a joint effort through mitsu and themselves, so basically the only place to get it is the dealer. so thats the news.

 

Well crap...

I hate going through dealerships... maybe its because they try and rip me off half the time...

how much is the evo steering wheel? i forgot. $600? damn thats expensive (even though it has an airbag).
