RX8 Steering Wheel Install

Hey guys, I own a 2007 Mazda RX8 and I'm slowly building it into a show/race car. However, as it seems with most modifications for this vehicle, you don't get to see in detail what goes on and issues that are encountered. Unfortunately that meant a lot of trial and error on my part. My goal is to continue modifying this car and show each and every issue I have and to also show you the solutions I've found to overcome those obstacles.

So I made this video because I myself was stuck multiple times, and there were no clear videos out there that really covered the details of what I might experience when doing this install. Also, there were even fewer videos covering a Mazda RX8.

Check out the links below for more info !

FYI, I'm not great at making videos and even worse at editing. Please comment below what you enjoyed and what you didn't as I will take that into account when making my next video.

Vivid Racing also has lot of parts for many other vehicles and a HUGE selection of steering wheels for purchase. Would recommend calling to make sure the part is still in stock before ordering.

NRG Short Hub Adapter -

Basically you can choose any steering wheel off of CarID and only checkmark the box pertaining to the short hub and only order the short hub adapter. You DO NOT have to order a wheel off of CarID. They can also be found on the official NRG website but I found mine cheaper on the CarID website.

Provided is a link to a page off of NRG's website where you can see which adapter fits your specific year, make, model. For a Mazda RX8, you'll want SRK-160H.
