My New Steering Wheel :)

[Rob]

The service from Demon Tweeks was unreal, got a great deal on price and somehow it even turned up less than 24 hours after I ordered it

The wheel looks and feels great, I'm very happy with the overall quality, not to mention it's lovely to have a new wheel that only I've used.

I've been out for a test drive and love the size, 300mm, it's proper go-kart-esque.

Anyways... I'll let the pics do the talking:

Before:

Comparison:

New:

There's some anger about something fitting related, but that's for another thread. I'll keep it happy in here.

 

[pandoo1]

[oliver.james]

[Naith]

[Rob]

I think its a 330 mate, I very nearly smashed the f**k out of my car with it tbh mate, but at the moment it's sitting in my room doing nothing.

Nice!

As above.

Tis for sale

Lol thort the old one was new till i scroled down
Loads better mate it looks mint

 

[maynard]

nice, gotta love the omp's!

 

[Cunney]

So did I lol, I was thinking is that why he's got a good price because it's been rotting in the warehouse for 5 years?

Looks smart mate, brdiges that gap between having a tacky plastic one or a comfy suede one that will fade, although think i'd have to go for a deep dish

 

[Rob]

The dish always looked a bit showy for me, it seemed to draw peoples attention more, I hope this is a bit more subtle.... ish... lol....

Cheers for the comments all.

Oh, and all you planks who thought the old was the new, stop just looking at the pictures children!

 

[Curley]

Want this wheel!

 

[Cunney]

Is not a bit more of a pain to reach though?

I'm getting buckets and a wheel soon and I can see me buying all the stuff and finding that my arms don't reach with sitting so deep or i'm too close etc.. lol

 

[Rob]

Well considering the boss brings it out quite a bit further than standard, the dish is just making it EVEN closer, but IMO it's really not necessary.

I had got very used to the dished one, as it did feel a bit closer, but now I'm already getting quite used to this.

Ah right, I thought you lost the housing behind the steering wheel so it ends up being further away if anything?

 

[James28]

Looks very nice. You didn't half get it quick as well.

 

[Rob]

TBH, it's been so long so I've used a standard wheel, I couldn't tell you.... lol!

 

[Rob]

Just been out for a bit of a spin to get me some dinner, the little wheel ROCKS!!!!

The 300mm is way superior over a 330mm, well IMO anyways! So much fun!

 

[theduck]

Fancy donating the old wheel to my project car? Lol.

 

[Rob]

If I hadn't f**ked my seat whilst fitting the new wheel, I wouldn't be looking for any money for it mate.

Depending upon how cheap I get it sorted, pretty much depends whether I'll sell it/for how much. I'll let you know.

 

[theduck]

Okay,cheers fella. I really need to replace the bus wheel that's in the bmw. Drop me a pm when you know what you want for it.

 

[Rob]

PM'd

 

[Scrooge]

Nice improvement!

 

[Rob]

Cheers mate, got my tracking done at the place you recommended, cracking guys TBH, thanks A LOT for the recommendation!

Oh, and the reason yours was £70 was because you had tracking and camber done.

 

[jenic]

Looks real nice that

Need to get myself a wheel!

 

[Scrooge]

Wikid! Glad you found them good. Well that cleas that up, it was bugging me why I got charged more lol

 

[Rob]

Cheers girl

Can't recommend this one, or Demon Tweeks enough tbh.

Wikid! Glad you found them good. Well that cleas that up, it was bugging me why I got charged more lol

Thought it might be mate, front tracking is £35.19 and then camber adjustment is 17.54 per side (mine only needed one side doing as one side was good, so they made the other even

Car drives like I'm not in the same Clio, massively impressed, just new engine mounts now!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Told you it was fubar'd.

Car drives like I'm not in the same Clio, massively impressed, just new engine mounts now!

.. and a new seat .. door latch .. matched inlets .. remap .. wheel .. tyres........

 

[Rob]

Ah, dear friend, it's all coming together, barr the door latch... (lol?)

Seat cover is arriving within a week (I hope)

Wheel should be sorted within 2 weeks

It'll then get the rubber that's in the garage on the front

Sod the inlets and map for now

I'm making progress so I'm happy, sorry I didn't pop by tonight, will be over soon mate.

 

[adam172]

Was that at that elite place over the bridge rob?

 

[Rob]

Yeah it was mate, prices were as above, really professional guys, I'm on coilies so got to choose your camber etc, car drives so much better, feels like a totally different set up (god knows how bad it was).

I'll let you have a crack in it next time if you want?

 

[Bluebeard]

My mate has the same wheel in his track car and I love it. Driven with it a few times and it perfect imo!

 

[cal46]

same wheels as mine, rocks on track!!

 

[jenic]

Cheers girl

I love it, took some getting used to (I'm still not totally used to it) but I think it's great!

Especially for what I paid

Good man, what material did you go for?
