NEWAGE sti/wrx steering wheels..straight swop?
I hate the steering wheel in my bug wrx, im assuming the steering wheels are a straight swop, would just like it confirmed before i go searching for one 
Also how hard are they to swop over if it is possible

Go for it! The leather wheel on mine is mint and even thought the electrical connectors had to be changed, wasn't bad job - must be done properly though with soldering iron etc (if you need to do this bit).

You need the STi loom and spinner as the stock WRX items are different...there's no soldering as the plugs are the same
Do a member seach on Butty or Nickadams butty posts on bugeye stuff quite a bit so he crops up quite often. I can't lay may hands on their e-mail at the moment

I put a brand new Sti steering wheel onto my 1998 Sti Type Ra and it fitted straight on, a mechanic friend of mine fitted the airbag side of it he didnt need anything extra as far as i know as it only took him about 20mins, the horn fitted straight on. The airbag light dont come on, unless the b*****d took the bulb out hee hee!

Classics do need some sort of rewiring for the loom and there's a few threads in the Interior section.
Swapping STi wheels into EU cars is simple (45 minutes), providing you have the STi wiring loom supplied at the same time.
I'm not sure about differences with JDM looms though.

I've only done STi wheel swaps on bug eye and blob eye cars.

Anybody know the diameter and rim width on the STi wheel versus a WRX wheel? I've got an 05 model year WRX that's supposed to have a smaller wheel than previous models, but it's still too big for me (though I did come over from a Puma, that had a tea plate sized wheel by comparison).
If the STi wheel is much smaller than the WRX wheel I'd be mighty tempted. Anyone know where I could get one and how much for? Apart from a Subaru dealer, who are bound to charge a fortune

HEEEEEEeeeeeelp
Anyone know how easy it is to get/fit a standard STI wheel (with airbag) back into a 2001 JDM STI? Is there a difference between Jap/Euro models?
