My red 1995 Civic EJ1 coupe has been rebuilt from the unibody up. I have been in a number of shows with great results. I have the car posted in the readers rides section of this forum.

I have successfully transplanted an AP1 (2000-2003) S2000 steering wheel into my Civic thanks to a highly modified and lengthened EK steering column. It looks wonderful, and I have the horn and cruise control working. I beleive that I am one of the few who have done this in an EG/EJ Civic due to the stock steering column incompatibility.

The remaining thing to do is get the SRS airbag working. Yes I know the easy way out is to leave it disconnected, but my car is not a racer. It is a fully functional OEM hybrid with full amenities just like it could have come from the showroom floor this way.

I can get the airbag to easily physically plug into the existing wiring and SRS computer BUT..............the 64,000 question is will the newer airbag function properly or accidentally deploy when connected to the earlier SRS computer?

Both the Civic and S2000 airbags have a single 2 wire connector. The wires for both are color coded the exact same. Both airbags are single stage. My logic and common sense tell me that I can be reasonably sure that it will work, but I will not do it till I know for sure.

I know that people put the S2000 wheel in EK, EM, and EP Civics; 97-01 Preludes, and maybe some other Hondas. But I never had heard of these people also connecting the SRS airbags with successful results.

I would like to hear back from folks with definitive and not speculative answers. Thank you.  

Hi, all honda srs coupler's are the same yellow color, does your srs light stay on on the dash display whilst driving? if so you have a fault on your srs system and probably caused by the airbag, if your old civic steering colum had an airbag and the airbag coulpler then im guessing that there should be no ill effects of connecting it to a different airbag from a different honda as they all have roughly the same srs systems.  

Hello, as far as connecting a s2000 to a Civic I don't know. But what I do know is that you always take a chance of the airbag going off when starting the car for the first time after hooking it up, be careful. I've worked in a number of Autobody shops and it is always a major concern even when swapping an oem SRS Airbag back into the vehicle. So just take precautions when starting the vehicle for the first time, so you do not get injured.
