i wanted to do that when i had s14 se's on my car a few years ago, but hate not having centercaps.
those arent the proper weights for that wheel either, fyi.

no... ive been fucking with it between homework sessions. the clip of plastic that sticks out where the wires come out of the clock sprinf clip thing are not clearing the back space for it in the steering wheel, causeing it to push the clock thing and making it click and not feel right. i know its still fine though becuase when i put the stock one back on it works perfect...

If i dont have it tweaked and working perfect by this weekend ld appreciate meeting up at USF once im drivng the car there. i dont think you wanna drive all the way out here lol

^ I didn't grind anything down at all on that wheel, I put it on and it fit my car perfectly. I connected the airbag and everything it works 100% flawlessly. No airbag light or anything, turn signals worked. No fuckups at all, just lost cruise control.

Eric, next time you're @ USF bring the wheel by my place, or I can meet up with you and help you put it on/ see what the problem is. DON'T drill anything.

i thought it was a known fact that the s14 clock spring wouldnt fit the s15 wheel without grinding down on the s15 wheel..........plus this is eric we're talking about. he probably put the wheel on backwards. possible? for him, yes
