Evo Steering wheel in DSM????

[Cammaxon]

I probably should have asked before I bid, but will the OEM Evo MOMO steering wheel with airbag work/fit/bolt in my 97 TSi?

2005 Mitsubishi Evo 8 MR Steering Wheel W/ Airbag??

What do I have to do to make it work or will it swap right out?

Thing you need are:

Materials:
1. A 1g steering wheel
2. An EVO (8 or 9) momo steering wheel

Tools:
Welder
Something to cut metal, like an angle grinder.
T30 torques bit to remove evo's air bag
10mm wrench/socket
17mm (impact preferable) to remove the steering wheel from the DSM.

For the most parts its basic removal and install of the steering wheel. Sometimes the steering wheel wont come out of the steering column shaft, but it will come out of you either pull hard enough, or bang on both sides of the steering wheel with your hand. Or, very carefully, tap the center steering column shaft with a hammer but do not hammer very hard as you don’t want to mushroom the end of the shaft.

Now you need to cut out the center section of the 1g steering wheel. You can see where the original welds are, and if you just cut through the welds, you should be able to tap the center hub section out. You will basically do the same for the evo wheel.

After both center hub sections are removed, you will need to weld the 1g hub section into the evo wheel. This is where you will want to test fit, and align everything up before you weld anything. I also had to use a washer (about 1.5inch diameter) to adapter the 1g hub section to fit onto the evo wheel.

After everything is lined up, do a few tac welds so it stays together. Then go test fit again. If everything checks out good, then weld some more. Make sure to do a good job welding as if you don’t, and the weld brakes while driving, you'll end up going wherever your car wants to go without any way for you to control your car.

Before permanently installing the evo wheel, put the plastic cover back on the evo wheel, make sure to line up the 3 little plastic dowel things which are for your blinkers so the click back off after you turn the wheel. Also make sure you try your best to line the steering wheel up straight. This may require the trial and error method.

Since I'm retarded and double bid I'm now the proud owner of 2!!! Evo MR M0M0 wheels. I'm going to keep the better of the two, expect the other to be for sale when I return to the US (f~$250.00~) I'll post pics when it gets to that.
