Corolla S wheel installed

wagonis · 04-25-2009, 01:41 AM

Finally! Just waiting for the SRS harness so I can hook that up. What do you think?

PHOENIX · 04-25-2009, 01:57 AM

wow, reminds me of the TRD wheel.

How much did that cost you?

ebouwman · 04-25-2009, 02:40 AM

is that the same one as in the mk3's?

ChArLeZ..! · 04-25-2009, 03:02 AM

Yes its the same wheel really thinking about puttin one in my 2 also

David · 04-25-2009, 07:25 AM

Cool! Looks better than I thought it would. Now I need to find one.

Everett · 04-25-2009, 08:17 AM

What I think.....I want one! Looks sweet!

wagonis · 04-25-2009, 09:46 AM

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I've been waiting for a while to get this on my car.

David: I'll scout for one in the area and will let you know if I find one.

Found it locally using craigslist for $100 and that was WITH the airbag. The air bag harness is about $11 + shipping and now you got yourself a newer style wheel with a functional air bag. Now all you have to do is either re-pin your cruise control or fit your old one in there somehow and everything is back to OEM functionality.

Almost the same, the only difference is that the Corolla S version has the red stitching in it which is hard to see in the pictures. The Matrix, Rav4, Corolla, Celica and MKIII all have the same wheel so they should all work.

masagsxr · 04-25-2009, 11:58 AM

Oh wow.. what a deal... I like those wheels... I guess time to call up some local salvage yards and see if they have it.

David · 04-25-2009, 01:41 PM

Cool, thanks Nis! I would rather have one w/o the red stitching, because I don't have red anywhere on my car.

Oteck · 04-25-2009, 01:51 PM

I have 2 of those, and they are mighty fine

Got a 3rd but it's blue... yuck

David · 04-25-2009, 02:03 PM

Are you willing to sell the blue one?

I have a blue interior.

Oteck · 04-25-2009, 02:14 PM

doesn't have the airbag cover...

David · 04-25-2009, 02:17 PM

Only the cover? Do you know how hard it is to find?

wagonis · 04-25-2009, 03:08 PM

I've contacted a few people in the area that are parting out Toyotas but no one got the airbag, all I'm finding is the steering wheels alone.

David · 04-25-2009, 03:10 PM

When I talked to my dad about it, he said I should get a blue one to match the interior, but I didn't even know there were blue ones untill oteck posted that.

canadam · 04-25-2009, 03:49 PM

$100 is a steal! Not many people know that the Corolla S wheel has the red stitching. I've been having a really hard time finding one that wasn't blown. Sucks that you can't buy the airbag cover w/o the airbag

wagonis · 04-25-2009, 04:53 PM

Hell yeah $100 was a steal. I actually called about a wheel from a Matrix and the guy said he can't sell it because he has to sell it with the passanger side airbag. Then he said that instead he can sell me a Corolla S wheel for $100...I couldn't believe it!

I actually had one already, but it's somewhere in my storage unit and I can't find it so I bought this one locally yesterday afternoon.

Oteck · 04-25-2009, 06:00 PM

sorry it wasn't blue, just a dark grey

David · 04-25-2009, 06:32 PM

eh. It's ok.

wagonis · 05-02-2009, 08:33 PM

Just wanted to let you all know that I decied to plug in the Corolla S cruise control stalk and hope for the best and it WORKS!!! So if you get your hands on a Corolla S steering wheel you do NOT have to modify the cruise control on it.
