I´m thinking about installing a EVO X Steering wheel on a 2G, do you guys know if it´s possible? I would like to keep the airbag also.
Thanks,
Enzo

Where did you resesrch the airbag wont work?I'm interested in a change because my 2G wheel is showing its age and a smaller wheel would feel better for autocross. I think the evo 8 wheel is better but the research I did lead me to believe that the evo 8 airbag would not function in a 2G so if the evoX airbag works that wheel might be an option. Or I could just spend $300 on a new 2g wheel but then my steering wheel would still be huge.
Looks sweet I want that steering wheelThe 1995-2005 Diamante wheel is a direct swap. Mine came from a 2003 VRX. The only mod I did to it was I took off the diamante cruise control switches since they were different, and installed the DSM switch. Airbag and horn connections were identical. Although the airbag connections are the same, the airbag covers are not. They look the same in shape, but they are a little different.

It only comes in the VRX model. Took me years to finally find one. Brand new, they run just over $900.00, no joke.. http://oem.jnztuning.com/2003-mitsu...teering_column-steering_wheel-pw_F711080.gif/Looks sweet I want that steering wheel

I had the evo 8 wheel and i hooked up the airbag and it showed no faults and i believe it was to be working correctly, never set any lights off and from what i researched before doing it they worked from other members,
If your affraid the evo 8/9 wheels wont work then the X wont either then, since both are not made directly for ur cars,
Also if you have childeren and concerned about them then i would not consider doing anything else to the car, roll bars can have padding so it can be somewhat safe, but old cars dont need airbags anyway and i bet you sit far enogh away to never even hit it, if seated correctly 80% of the time you dont hit the bag, i know when i had an accident i was well clear of it plus i braced in time aswell to help prevent any jolting so airbags are not always great and helpful but mostly more dangerous then good,
Sure do http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/evo-steering-wheel-conversion-with-evo-adapter.468145/I did some searching on here just a few weeks ago and found threads with mixed reviews on the functionality of the airbag. And for the roll bar, I usually don't have my children in this car but sometimes my 8 year old rides in a booster seat in the back when she wants to hear the turbo and have fun, my youngest (1) has never been in the car as a rear facing car seat doesn't even really fit in the back of a 2G. If I did a rill bar with harness bar then my back seat would be off limits to anyone and my 8 year old is only 50lbs so she can not legally ride in the front seat yet.
I'm glad to hear that you got it working, did you document the install at all? I would love to check it out.
I know this thread is titled EVO X but there has been talk about other wheels and options so I figured I would post here. I just installed the Evo IX steering wheel using the adapter made by @2slow4now. I PM'd him and it costed $60 for the hub adapter and to have him install it in the steering wheel structure. Install was a breeze and I even wired in the airbag (yes I know the risks) and no SRS light! Well worth the $200 for this complete upgrade!
