I recently got hold of an EVO4 steering wheel and thought (as I always do) should be a straight swap into the GSR. Clearly I have not done too many mods.... LOL

 

Anyway, got it done and thought the following might be of minor interest (sadly this does not add kilowatts...)

 

1st and 2nd photos shows the issue, as the power contact ring does not exist on the EVO4 wheel.

 

Next few shots show the contact ring cut out and attached to the EVO4 wheel.

 

Final few show wheel fitted and last two show access hole without, and with, grommet fitted (for the anal retentive type, like me, this is an important detail... LOL!).

 

Verdict? Sooo much better than the factory wheel, and oddly satisfying to bodge up the power supply for the horn.

Very similar to the Evo 3 wheel, except with the airbag.

Hey mate, I'm not sure if mines an evo 4 wheel but it's basically the same, it just has a ralli art badge instead of momo. It's in good Nic for age, is missing the plugs that old mate posted above but to be honest I've never seen a car with them lol. The only one for sale on eBay is $600 or so but I didn't pay that much. Make me an offer :)
