Installing Sparco Hub & Wheel on 2007 Sti
Bought a Sparco Hub and Wheel for my car and long story short. When I went to install it everything was fine till I put the hub up to the steering column. I'll post pictures below. But there's a black plate that turns and has to rubber prongs sticking out towards the driver. Does this stay? Or does thus also have to be removed. The hub will neither fit around the rubberish prongs or will it allow the cords to fit through the back that are attached to this black spinning plate.
Any advice would be much appreciated or If there is a write of some sort that I didn't find, sharing it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys! Here's the "black plate" that spins with the stock wheel. Back side of hub. |

I guess the main question is, do I remove the clock spring (if that's what it's called) when installing the hub & wheel?

Looks like you have too. It is of no use anyways now that your using aftermarket steering wheel. Air bag light is going to be on now too if you didn't know. And the clock spring is broken if you have spun it one way or another to many times.

The second half of the steering roll connector is the problem area for 06' STI owners, and I am pretty sure this applies to '07s too. The "Steering Position Sensor" is screwed together with the clock spring, so you can't remove the clock spring. This is actually part of the DCCD circuit and feeds steering inputs to the Yaw Rate & Lateral G sensor in the DCCD control module. Removing this leaves your DCCD stuck in full open and your driver controls are lost.

Yeah. If you want to keep the DCCD functional, you HAVE to keep the clock spring/sensor. You can't use the Sparco Hub. I had the same problem (I had an NRG hub that didn't work) and ended up with a Works Bell hub that works. Splash is another brand that works, but I think it's just a re-branded Works Bell, or vice versa.
This is what I have. You can see the holes for the sensor: Last edited by mav1c; 07-12-2013 at 10:47 AM. |

Nice, no air bag light either?? If not that's surprising.
