I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got in today..

[MickM]

I'd feel like a rite nob end with driving gloves on

 

[Fletcher]

^^^you'd look like Alan Partridge :rasp:

 

[joebristolgym]

I had one of these wheels on my 182 a few years back, it's the best steering wheel I've had on any car bar none.

Suede does get a bit sweaty and goes a bit flat, but still, I'd have another one again if I had a car it'd go with (ie a Renault).

 

[maynard]

Nice wheel, but 100% get some gloves to drive with. My wheel still looks brand new becasue i wear glove when i go for drives.

And i have a Ph1 indicator stalk, really easy to fit

How is the horn wiring wired up to the stalk?

good shout, i've seen these before and they do look quite smart - but the oem look of the ph1 stalk may be better?!

[Jamie]

Are you fitting harnesses then Fletch?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Enjoy it! It wont stay that colour for long though, my blue bit looks grey now!!

 

[Fletcher]

Are you fitting harnesses then Fletch?

Yes Jamie. I already have some Luke 4 point harnesses, I shall fit the new wheel, harnesses and some new buckets all at the same time.

Will do Dan. At least when it fades It'll match the iceberg paint better

You'll need to swap the cancel pin from your current phase 2 stalk into the phase 1 unit for the indicators to cancel. The horn is two spade connectors on the bottom of the stalk plug, on both phase 1 and 2 units

Cheers Gaz.

Still not 100% sure yet Tim. It's between a set of SPG's and Bimarco futuras :S

 

[Gib#244]

You'll love it Fletch! got one in the T.... even though the top is blue, I think it looks fine in a red car.

Alot better than the big bus steering wheel!

Brush mine every other day to keep it looking fresh

Yes mate, I do think yours look good in the Trophy.

Are you using a Momo boss with yours?

 

[Gib#244]

Yeah I am mate, and the ph1 stalk with horn.

The boss rubs on the plastic casing slightly but nothing to worry about.

^^^shame they're so expensive

 

[Pete.]

Shame it won't be ready for Wednesday. Like the plans and I'm sure your bus will pull it all off.

 

[Christopher.]

Yes, Bimarcos with the Renault Sport embroidery would suit the car more though IMO

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Not a fan of the Renault sport embroidery. TBH I prefer the Bimarco logo on the seats.

Well all going to plan, me and my GF should have another daily driver by the end of the year. Then the clio can become as un-practical as I like.

....However I'll more then likely take the 172 on the track as it is soon!

 

[Gaz_]

whats the new daily plan?!
