Installing a MINT Type R MOMO Steering Wheel from Japan! | Acura RSX Build

- In today's video, the Acura RSX Type-S gets some overnight parts from Japan! We install a MINT Integra Type R DC5 Steering wheel (without) an SRS light! Generally, Honda steering wheels are easy to swap and install, but this one is a bit tricky. So let's swap some stuff and make it work!
In the Honda world, a new steering wheel can make all the difference in driving feel! Especially on the 90's Honda's steering wheel swaps. The OEM Acura RSX wheel isn't all that bad, but mine was starting to show it's age. Rather than do an Alcantara wheel wrap, I wanted to properly fit an Integra Type R/EP3 steering wheel from Japan. This is made by MOMO and has the gorgeous red stitching. The trick to making this work is to swap the airbag inflator from the USDM cover into the JDM cover. This ensures the SRS plus is correct. It's also possible to swap the cruise control bracket (although I chose not to).
As far as the inflator goes, the swap is straightforward (BUT PLEASE, do this at your own risk). if you don't feel comfortable, you can have a trained tech do it. The end result is an SRS (air bag functioning) steering wheel swap that looks SO GOOD! Easily my best mod I have done to the Acura RSX interior. After the install, we take it for a quick drive to make sure all is well! An uneventful install, but that's what I was hoping for!
The next Type R mod will be the pedal covers at some point, but that'll be a tough one to film! What Honda steering wheel swaps have you done? Let me know in the comments (S2000 Wheel swap into the 96-00 Civic FTW).

Finally, a CZcamsr I hopefully know and hopefully love
hey, you're awesome
Oh you will, he does great work and puts love into his machines!!
I’ve been watching him for years!! And he now building a car I own. I’m so grateful haha
Such an inspiration for us DC5 owners, please don't ever stop uploading content 🫶
That is THEE most perfect RSX I've ever seen!!! 😍😍😍😍
An already awesome car getting even better with a incredibly nice steering wheel! Loved the video, can’t wait for the next one!😊
Soooo clean! And no detonation!
Haha yes no detonation!! Thank god
Ahhhh man the feels.. I felt like a little kid in the candy store a coupe years ago receiving my JDM TRD steering wheel for my Cavalier. Unfortunately it's still in the box. Your RSX is absolutely gorgeous and it keeps getting better!
Let’s go! Sweet upgrade on the car
One of my favorites for sure!
dude, this is my dream car in my favorite color❤️ im in love with your car 😍
Just got my first RSX and while it is only a base and not a Type S, I love it and hope to keep it for a good while. Nice to see vids like this and get some ideas for what I can do in the long term with the car.
I hope you love it!
Finally another video😁!
Something about a new steering wheel just makes it’s all. And I agree on the partnership with brands like recaro. I would’ve loved to grab a set of recaros that came in my car, but ultimately couldn’t justify the insane price tag and fell in love with the corbeaus you put in the red civic and had to have a set
DSM fanboy here, but I’m starting to really like RSX’s a lot.
Been watching a lot of RSX content lately. I’m gonna end buying one at this pace
I was stuck between the two myself. Keep in mind AWD is fairly easy on these cars and they are insanely reliable. I’m am so happy with my DC5 and picked it up for 5k.
It’s not in the best shape but the best part is replacing everything with quality parts and slowly noticing small nuances that make the car better to drive. I wanted a 2g for a long time but I think the RSX was the right choice personally.
They are awesome cars
Cars looking so damn good.
Thanks man! It’s getting there!
Awesome video. Now I know what to do if I get a DC5-R airbag with the detonator still in it. I didn't realize it was that easy.
Anthony: An SRS light from a removed airbag is easy to defeat if you jump the empty connector with a resistor of the correct value (You'll have to research to find what value is). HKB Steering wheel hubs even include a simple plug-in resistor for their hub-adapters made for vehicles originally equipped with SRS steering wheels. Recaro seats would definitely be the icing on the cake for this car. Especially considering you can get OEM seat rails. Just be aware JDM seat rails don't usually slide back as far as their US counterparts since Japanese tend to be smaller than Americans. I'm 6' and have my DC2 Recaros almost all the way back when driving an EG. BTW: Ditch the silver intake manifold cover or get one that matches the black spark plug cover.
Gotta go for the dc5 r recaros. Literally one of my dream parts for mine
I want them, but I’ll be patient
I laughed when he gave you and casually sneaked that magnetic stickers! 😂
Nice I was wondering after you put them red Honda emblem on,if you thought about switching the steering wheel to the type r one. And here we are. I ended up finding a ep3 steering wheel, with the chrome H badge ,with red stitching for $200 to match my chrome Honda emblems. Condition was better than my old steering wheel. I love the videos on the dc5, can’t wait to see what’s next!
Nice find on the dead pedal! I’m looking for the dead pedal and gas pedal for my EP3
Japan sellers always send us thank you card letters like no thank youuu for the the highest quality parts!
Those red recaros would be hope on it that and maybe some red brembos from a Tl type S
I had a Momo steering wheel like this for my RSX-S, but I didn't trust changing it myself with the airbags. I took it to a mechanic and surprisingly he didn't want to mess with it either. I just sold the steering wheel on ebay.
Thank you for showing the detention swap, I swapped my RSX wheel into my Integra using an EK column and was disappointed to find it had a dual stage... Now I just need to find a JDM single stage detentor!
Yep! It’s not as complicated as some may think
You should paint your side pillars black and your head liner black
Clean and simple cars not too much not to little
Do a washing, detailing video bro. It more satisfying 🤤🤤. Anyway keep it up 🤘🏻
i will gladly buy the steering wheel you took off the rsx because mine has seen much better days
The RSX is coming along nicely...red stitching seats with matching JDM shift booth in near future?
Hey bro real quick question trying to get the red Honda badges for my RSX for both front and back, where did you buy yours at? is there a certain size too, because I know the knew type r badges are way to big.
Love your videos! I want an rsx so badly 😭 should I get one?
Clean
Thanks dude
Wake up babe, new ALLDAYANTHONY RSX video
Haha yes!! Thank you
Yooo that looks sick! Been looking at these for my civic. Do you know what wheel fits a 05 es1?
where did you get the red honda badge? ive been wanting to get a set for the front and back but can't find it anywhere
Tony, I aspire to have my RSX as clean as yours one day.
I’m sure you will!
Great video looks way better... you should get a led light bar they aren't to much at harbor freight get that 20% off coupon or 50% they have sometimes that way interior video's aren't so dark the light comes with magnet/ hooks to clip it on
Hey! New to your channel.. I found you while doing Honda Grom research.. anyways checked out your other stuff and here I am watching your car videos! Im not a huge car guy so im just wondering whats up with throwing a Honda steering wheels in an Acura? Is this just a personal pref type of thing or common? In my mind im thinking "why would I stick a Ford F150 steering wheel in my Chevy Silverado" and I just cant make it make sense so hopefully somebody can help! Thanks and great video dude. Your whip is sick!
Dude I did a full interior swap from the tan to the black interior but my srs/air bag light came on that’s drives me crazzzyyy. Any tips or tricks on how to get it to turn off?
You can stick a 2.2 Ohm resistor in the plug and that should bypass it good. If you can't get a resistor, honestly I would just take the light out of the cluster. The only problem with that is you have to be careful with the bezel you have to take off because the clips are easy to break.
I also have the Strut King dead pedal, clutch pedal, accelerator, and brake pedal. Please do an install video here on youtube. I'm going to be doing this early January and would love to see a how to.
The SRS is super easy to turn off. Just need to jump the harness with a paper clip for the air bag plug that goes into the seat/steering wheel. I had an aftermarket wheel and recaros with zero SRS lights!
Some people have gotten lucky with that trick and others are still cursed with the srs. Not sure if it’s situational, but the only way to really trick it for good is to cut the srs unit out of the passenger seat. Or just cover the srs light on the dash lol
It is pretty easy to turn off. I recently swapped out a steering wheel and installed a pair of recaros. Tricked the system using some resistors I found on Amazon and haven’t had an srs related issues since installation.
How did you install your honda badge in front of the car???
i want one!
You should have swapped the cruise control on to the momo wheel doing mine soon!
I’m not a cruise guy, I explain it in the video
Hey man just wondering if you record ig videos with an iPhone.
I’ve got the newest one but everytime I upload IG kills my quality and the video looks so bad , any tips ?
Check the setups on Instagram to make sure the highest quality is being uploaded
Can't wait til its boosted w/ giant borg warner 98mm & got 1500whp & awd
how does your horn still work
Nooo fogisss?😢😂 clean car man
As a former RSX-S owner...I was always curious, what did Momo actually do to this wheel? Just different leather and stitching...? It looks exactly the same as the USDM one!!!
I’m guessing it’s mostly the leather and stitching. Grip points are about the same. But it does feel much better
you should get a bmw, e46 or e90!!!!!!!!! i feel like you would lovely enjoy it (bmw owner speaking) def fun cars to customize
THOUGH IT WAS HILARIOUS WITH THAT FOOTAGE @10:45 KABOOM LMFMAO OR AT THE JOKE OF THE VIDEO @12:05 "CAUSE NOBODY LIKES STRIP NUTZ" LMFMAO KIND OF A BUMMER YOU SHOULD HAVE DOUBLE CHECK SEEM AND KIND OF LOOKS LIKE YOU PROBABLY COULD HAVE GOTTEN WAY WITH PUTTING ON THE "BATTERY TIE DOWN ROD NUTZ" YOU SHOULD HAVE DOUBLE CHECK ON THREAD SIDE THOSE MAYBE COULD HAVE FIT JUST BY THE LOOK AT THE THREAD SIZE TO GET RID OF THOSE SECURITY NUTZ THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN STRIPED BUT OVER ALL THE STREEING WHEEL CAME OUT CLEAN AND VERY O.E.M. PLUS LOOK KEEP IT UP HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOO THANKSGIVING MAN AND THANKS FOR GIVING US GREAT CONTENT WHEN YOU CAN ANTHONY ✌🏼OUT
Thanks for always watching Noah! Appreciate you man
FINALLYYYYY
Time to get integra badges and swap the door sills!
I’m debating the badges, still unsure!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY do it up, should've been badged that anyways!
All day k 🤙🏽
yooo
If the steering wheel doesn't move from pulling, bang the steering with your hands and it will come loose. Been doing it that way for over 5 years.
Did you lose cruise control?
Only because I didn’t set it up. I explain it in the video.
How do you afford all the toys? Car's motor bikes house etc big bank loans or do you own everything outright.
If you ain’t first your last
ong
Shut up uuuu lolol
ya'll were QUICK today!
🍪
You could of use a 3/8 socket , it fits on the airbag security nuts, pin this comment so people can know
I tried that first actually, didn’t grab onto the nut. Just rounded it
luls All K Anthony
edit: nvm I was not first
;-;
A CLOSE second!
12th or something
something like that :) thanks for watching!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY no, thank YOU for making all the great content!
Your rsx is so clean my goal is to have mine as clean looking and mint as yours. Also If you really wanted a real Honda gas pedal instead of an aftermarket one the s2000 of the same year uses the same size gas pedal (keep up the videos )❤🦾
