mr.asian.m2 · 10-07-2009, 11:47 AM

okay cool thanks.so we don't need any adapters or anything,just bolts right in

It's possible, car manufacturers like to use as many of the same parts as possible. My 2 has a Paseo wheel in it right now (the original wheel had no airbag pad, looked S***). The new wheel looks nice, has three spokes instead of four, and the overall diameter is smaller. It looks like a cheaper, vinyl Spyder/Celica wheel. I had to splice the cruise control and horn wires to fit the old harness, no biggie. I also had to hack the crap out of the plastic housing on the wheel itself, but it came out pretty well. If I can find a leather Spyder (or Celica, even IS300) wheel for less than a fortune, I'll put it in.

Ooooh, sexy . . . Ima hafta keep an eye out for those. Did those Corollas come with matching red-stitched shift knobs, I'm guessing?

I put one in about 6 months ago from a Corolla S and it fit and looks awesome. Just keep in mind, the airbag will not plug right in. There is a piece of harness you need to buy (only costs $11.00) that will let the Corolla S wheel adapt to the harness on the car. Also, the cruise control stalk from the MR2 will not bolt up to the new wheel, so try to get a wheel with the cruise control stalk already on it. It plugs right in and works perfect...at least mine did.

Here is the link for the harness piece: SPX Toyota | Tool Detail
