Ok, so i bought this hub adapter... but apparently it was not the thing i needed.
So basically, i need help finding a the hub adapter for a 5 bolt aftermarket steering wheel that will fit my 97 tiburon of course .
I need to get it quick. I have my stock steering wheel in with no airbag or horn. lol, it looks horrible.

So i guess this is the cheapest i can find. is it what i need?

Does it have the right fitment for the splines?

Do they have any "universal" ones that will fit even with minor modifications?
Thanks.

that hub should work...i think that is what most people use for there aftermarket steering wheels...but i dont think its in 5 bolts....i believe it comes in 6 bolt hub

i have not seen a steering wheel with a 5 bolts that connects it to the hub....more then likely you are probably going to have to get a new steering wheel with 6 bolts...

thats an expensive little guy

the universal i believe will fit with modification, im not sure though as i dont have much dealing with any aftermarket wheels... yet

the one you have might work but you would need clarification from someone else on here for that

was that the cheapest one you could find on ebay? i thought i found a few for the tiburon for like $30 or less on there a little while back

The crappy cheap one wont fit without a lot of work. Get the MOMO. It fits perfect and is much safer.

Someone is supposed to be testing an NRG hub for fitment so maybe do a search on that?

well i bought this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-...%3A1|240%3A1318

thinking it was what i needed, but it is def not.
There are somethings about 30-40, but I'm not positive if its the item i need, and i dont want to make the mistake of buying the wrong thing again.

If someone could clerify what i need that be great. Hopefully cheaper than $65. smile.gif

if you just that one for 30 bucks have fun modify it so it can fit fing02.gif ...for 35 more bucks you could have got the MOMO that works without modification...

modifying you car is not cheap and when you cheap out of certain things you will end up throwing money down the drain...

2 people told you to get the MOMO...yet you bought a universal one hail.gif

I just installed my new steering wheel i got from Ericy over christmas break. I would definately say the MOMO hub made it quite easy.

For some reason tho when i signal left it doesnt flip back (unsignal) when i turn the wheel back?

um, no.
I bought that universal one a week ago...?
I was asking if there was a universal one that would work well.
But i see that most people used the MOMO hub adapter.
So i will be purchasing that righttt now.
Thanks alot guys.
