Gutted ! My RS 182 has a non sport steering wheel ! How gay ?!

[MikeB85]

Have no idea why or how, but my 54 plate 182 has the non sport steering wheel (presumably same as the dynamique model)

Only noticed due to seeing a few members with the lower steering wheel inserts.

What a pain in the ass of a problem that should never have occurred lol

How much out of pocket do you think I would be to buy a 2nd hand 182 steering wheel and sell the non sport one ?

If it'll mean me pulling my pants down I may just get a Sabelt one instead....

cheers all

Mike

Do you have a Cup model? Racing Blue or Inferno Orange?

If so, those steering wheels were standard!
If not I don't know!

 

[Lawro]

Is it a cup?

 

[mitch1503]

jesus not even the 172 cup had a standard wheel, still had the sport wheel with the insert, talk about cutting back where the 182 isconcerned

 

[MikeB85]

Nope lads mine is a Titanium 182 non cup. I thought the cup model was supposed to have less frills than the normal sport model ? mine seems the opposite lol. Pain in the ass seriously

Without sounding rude, does it matter? It does the job, happy days.

Should get a decent replacement for £100-150.

Someone maybe got sick of the melting and swapped it out for a cup/non sport wheel..

Well yeah it does really, look far better with the insert, but the standard ones don't have the mounting holes

Nearly Sabelt money then ?

Sounds likely mate, pikeys ! haha

 

[Tunst]

My cup has a basic wheel, want to swap it for an FF whee at some point, might end up with a 197/200 wheel or even a Sabelt wheel haha

 

[MikeB85]

Do the 197 ones fit easily mate ? Haha yeah I'm watching a sport steering wheel now on ebay, but if its gonna go for £100 upwards ill just buy a Sabelt

 

[Martin_172]

id go down the 197/200 wheel route as the standard 172/182/dynamique wheels are huge, if i wanted a massive wheel id rather have the dynamique one that didnt melt anyway! well does still melt but doesnt have thumb grips to burst!

 

[MikeB85]

Didnt know if the 197/200 ones were a straight fit or not mate? they do look really smart though. I agree the normal clio wheels are huge but I have kind of got used to it. As I say though if were talking silly money to get a standard Renault wheel from a 197 or 182, ill probably go for the Sabelt and then just put a normal wheel on when I come to sell the car ?

 

[Tunst]

Yeah direct fit i think, cruise buttons need wired in though iirc... Also they catch a little but apparently goes after a while...

 

[MikeB85]

Hmmm ill watch a couple of sport ones, if I cant find a bargain ill just get a Sabelt one. (Suppose at least its forced me into the Sabelt route now haha - the little push i needed)

Thanks for all of the replies

 

[Tunst]

Only thing with the sabelt you loose cruise control unless you rewire some switces

 

[MikeB85]

I've never used the cruise control mate, I only do about 3 motorway journeys a month and they are always less than 2 hours drive so its not really needed over such a short distance.I would love to have one of the 197/200 ones but cant justify £166-190 (ebay) on a Renault wheel if im only going to get £50 back for this standard dynamique one.Where is the cheapest place to get the Sabelts from ? Seen theres one for sale on here at the minute but it looks really tatty condition which would just grate at me
