on my bug sti my steering wheel is looking tired now and wondered if a v8/v9 steering wheel would just bolt straight on or is there other bits you need to fit aswel?

 

As far as I know they are a straight swap

 

just worried that if i bolt that on the indicators wont turn off like they should if this makes no difference then v8 here i come

 

The indicator cancel, horn and airbag connections are done via a separate ring that sits behind the wheel. A lot of early after-market bosses were incompatible with this ring and caused issues, but not so with the factory stuff

 

As long as you get the loom and spinner it's a straight swap............I missed out on the spinner so I have to cancel by hand (Blob STi wheel in a Bug WRX). After a couple of months it's automatic.

Blob STi a lot smaller too and looks very nice as well

so even tho mine is a bug sti i need steering wheel and the bit behind this yes?

 

I did think that they were all the same from the MY99 classic up until the hatch, but from what Shaun is saying I'm now not so sure

 

is you car and the donor car UK spec as JDM one's are different

 

im thinking of doing the exact same thing. ive got a bug eye wrx uk spec and want to fit a sti blob eye steering wheel what will i need?

 

mine is a uk spec bug sti

 

I have a suede trimmed STI8 sheel for sale if anyones interested. Requires airbag.

£100 + postage OVNO

 

Is the wheel from a JDM

 

i havent got a wheel yet, just saying mine is a uk spec and wondering is i get a v8 steering wheel for a uk spec do i need the spigot ring behind the wheel aswel

 

Frayz any more pics im interested pal

Newage wheel fits OK, but requires spinner/clockspring AND it may need the airbag wiring modified.

 

Here's my Blob STi steering wheel from NickAdams which I bought on here..........bubble wrap, not a scratch on it and most importantly all the wiring which Alcazar above mentioned...



Shaun

 

I fitted a blob v9 sti wheel on a blob wrx with 4 spoke wheel and the spigot ring behind worked fine on the 3 spoke wheel. Would have thought bug sti would be same as blob wrx 4 spoke wheel

 

There are lots of interior pics in my thread Mick. Drop me a PM if youre interested. if youre local to Essex,please feel free to come and look if you wish.

Kind regards

Here Mick,

This is fitted in a bugeye sti. I used the later clockspring and swapped the multiplug to the earlier type to suit
