I was going to say I dislike the rubber feel of the 05 wheel and dont really like the look but damn that looks awesome, need more pics! Never thought of 05 seats but they are BLACK right!? Looks good and need more pics!

Does the cruise control, horn, and all that stuff work?

Good work, but FR500 wheel FTW.

Looks good to me! I didn't think that was possible! Haven't actually thought of it though. Very cool!

not yet, but all i need to do is figure out which wire does what and hook it up with the '95 wiring

Would love to see more pics! I thought about putting them in mine at one point.

Weren't you asking about it earlier? Did you get the seat wired up and all that mess?

yea, i was gonna post the pic on that thread but i couldn't find it, so i just started a new one. i did get the seat wired up and working. the only problem i have is the forward/backward switch is reversed. guess i crossed a wire somewhere but its no big deal. i can live with it. lol

What did it take to put the steering wheel in? I've wanted one since the '05 came out. Can the airbag be made functional?

its a pain in the ass. the new steering wheel dosen't fit the old shaft so it had to be modified. it also had about a 1" gap between the back of the wheel and the trim on the column. i cut a section off of my old wheel and used it as a spacer to fill the gap. its not a perfect fix, but it'll keep the look somewhat clean for now. as for the wiring, most of it is in a plastic case wound into a coil behind the wheel so you can turn the wheel without cutting wires. i had to cut the front of the case off because it stuck out too far and got in the way of the new wheel. it was a good bit of work not having anything to go by, but i think it was worth it. i used an airbag delete on mine.

I would have just left it with the seats... The steering wheel is a bit too much...

 

[Javi]

More pics please?

I never thought the new seats will fit our cars,do the doors shut fine or the seat rubs on the panel?


Great work. q

 

[CruizinKev]

nicely done! looks good so far - even the steering wheel! is it possible to make it work with airbag??

Would love to see more pictures. I wanted to do the steering wheel as well. I though also of the old SVO three point steering wheel. I have it in my 89 and love it much more than the stock two spoke that it came with.

 

[Redneckcoplure]

just wanted to say i got the horn wired up on the steering wheel. not much, but it made me happy for the day. lol. im waitin to put up more pic cause the inside is nasty and finishing body work is higher on the priority list than cleaning the interior.

More pics, and what did it take to put the seats in?

 

[lazerred96]

i like the combo, real cool.....great idea.

i just drilled holes in the base of the new seat and bolted them to the stock rails

Looks good. Did you do front and rear seats or just fronts?
