MOMO hub adapter
MOMO Race steering wheel
NRG quick release
PS2 in glove box mounted to a custom black sueded shelf
inverter mounted in front of the shifter (out of sight yay!)
AVIC-D2 touchscreen
bypass of lockouts on the d2 (full navi features + dvd playback while driving)
now for the pics!
will i let a steering wheel hold me back? hell no!

i love random pieces

poor steering column

trying to get the new hub adapter on

this is where we had issues. the momo hub adapter didnt have a properly sized hole to let the electronics pass through. we had to do a little modding.....

what's that he's using you ask? that would be a trusty metal file!

poor car

now for the finished pics






on

off

i'm happy with it
the wheel is an inch or two closer to me, but not tight by any means. i've got some electrical noise issues to work out tommorow, but other than that, everything works fine!

meh, lost em with the installation of the D2, so why the hell not ^^
the cruise control relocation i'm still figuring out. eventually the cruise will be relocated to the fuse box area.

i'm a waiter at a good bar here in a college town. 'nuff said
as for the cruise, like i said, im still figuring out wiring, but yeah, i'll be relocating it to the fuse box area.
to keep the steering wheel controls i needed a PAC Swi-X or whatever it's called. i didnt bother considering i had the wheel. i hardly used the wheel controls anyways.

I have SWORN by my steering wheel controls, probably because this is the first car that i have had to have them, and I always have my ipod on random so i be pressing them arrows quite constantly!

yeah, college kids have good tips. so do the rich people that live around the college. work is just fine and dandy 
meh, maybe it's because i dont have an ipod. i just didnt use the controls.
the one thing i think i'm going to have to get used to with the new wheel is the fact that the wiper + blinker stalks are now really far back from teh wheel itself. before i just had to move my finger to click the blinker stalk, now i have to move my whole hand back a few inches. i ____ed a guy off tonight driving home from the shop because i tried to hit the blinker to go around him and ended up flipping the high beams on and off a couple of times. ah wells...

i dont even know what the inverter was called... i was at a friends house and was snooping around his garage while he was fixing his fab kit on his xA, saw it in a box, gave him $20 for it, and put it in the car. it was blue and was 300 continuous 600 peak (not that the description narrowed it down or anything...).
thanks for the compliments guys (and amanda)
