The only steering hub I know of for the S2000 comes from King. It is billet and $350. Back when I was looking into it Giamparo said he could have them made if we got 5 or more interested, I posted and only got 1 response. Back burner project for me, but if you find one I'm interested.

That's what I said and abandoned the steering wheel project for a while. Also, the Momo dealers I e-mailed said something about "no hubs for cars after the 1997 air-bag law due to liability".

PM me if you want a hub. I have access to ones that defeat the airbag properly that are intended for ALL Hondas made with airbags. Will work with any MOMO, Mugen, Sparco, or Nardi wheel (but not Grant).

I really want to change my steeering wheels to Sparco or Momo, was considering the Momo Jet (Silver) to match my silver S2K but probably go w/ the Sparco. If worst comes to worst I think I would try getting a HUB for a Civic and see if it fits. I tried putting a Civic steering wheel on the S2K and it fits. The grooves fit fine but the only problem is I can't put the screw in to tighten it down. So is it wise to order a HUB for a Civic and see if it fits???

Does anybody know the weight of the airbags? I've heard 37 lbs each on my company Lexus, could the S2000's be over 70 lbs. combined as well?

Not sure but I have removed all my airbags out. For the Driver I am putting an afternmarket Steering wheel (if I can fit it somehow) and the passenger side I am having my brother making a custom kit to put a 8" LCD in there. There will be a switch or some sort to raise it and hide it when I arm the alarm or something like that. But the airbag isn't as heavy as you would think. I took it apart and it feels like 5-10lbs each not 37lbs.
