New Renaultsport wheel fitted :D

[Dansta]

Mucho thanks to Stevo (sm_wrc) who basically did everything whilst i gleefully kept him up to date with the rugby score in the first half
Apologies for pic quality, only had phone.

So it began...

Airbag out...

Wheel off...

TAADAAAAAA...

Absolutely love it! feels awesome... got some niggly bits to sort out and want to get rid of the horn buttons at some point but we'll see how we get on.

 

[Beef-Mc]

What's it like to drive with?

 

[Craig]

looks alot better mate

 

[Gaz_]

Nice! When ii swapped mine for a 330mm momo jobbie, it transformed the car. The wheel and H&R's are the best mods i ever did to my cup

BTW what milage is yours on? The standard wheel looks in reasonable condition lol!

 

[Dansta]

just gone over 40k fella... the wheel's done seriously well. The specs on the thumb grips are only from some paint i had on my hands the other day... otherwise its mint...
Steve says its cos i have nice girly hands lol

 

[nobblebonce]

off topic whats the gear lever like to drive with, is it much better than standard

[Christopher]

[davM]

Looks smart. Bet its much improved over std.

Where'd you get the wheel from mate?

 

[Dansta]

Rsport kindly picked it up from Renaultsport in France for me last week.

 

[Mikey]

that looks amazin, where can these be bought from?

 

[mini-valver]

Love these but my car is black so the blue would clash. Best wheel out there IMO!

 

[Fletcher]

That looks great.

 

[fmp_]

very nice!

 

[Deep Dish]

Looks mint

Hows it go on the insurance side with it being a saftey device removed kind of thing?

Are they ok about things like this?

 

[fUbAr]

nice!

if you can find an indicator stalk from a Mk2 Ph1 172 they have a horn button on the end which would mean you could bin your red nitrous buttons (may be the same on all Mk2 Ph1s, can't remember)

[Dave H]

[Gaz_]

Yep, steve and i may look into this, but the trip is cycled with the stalk button on the PH2's is it not? Cant remember?

 

[Ali]

i need one!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dansta]

yes it is Gaz...
Just came home from Steve's, so rochester to orpington... and all i can say is WOW.... what a difference...
Car really feels like a go cart steering wise now... feels alot more involved. It feels much more solid and stable... i feel with the big wheel it always felt as though there was alot of play... this is very precise and direct.

Truly love it.

 

[Ali]

Would be good to have a wiki guide on how to do it?!

 

[Gaz_]

If i still had mine, this would be a 100% purchase!!! Even the wheel colour suits the Mondial perfect

 

[Ali]

And illiad!

 

[Christopher]

suits racing better

 

[SBV116]

Christopeher, behave!! , i will be be fitting mine when the schlag returns!! along with a few other toys!

 

[Gaz_]

suits racing better

Nah, these are off CUP racers, not FF show ponies

 

[Dansta]

suits racing better

it don't... held it up to one the other day :rasp:

Its closer to Mondial and illiad i reckon.
Some pictures it may look lighter but in real life...

i.e my last two pics.

 

[jayxx83]

[BoomOne]

[Marky_]

It's a mint wheel but the car wants stripping and a cage to match now

 

[Alan]

Looks ace matey..

 

[Dansta]

Looks awesome and let me tell ya...
I was driving her most of yesterday... and Gaz is certainly right...
BEST mod after coilovers! I dont know how but it truly transforms the car and my confidence in it...

 

[geesus69]

i trial fitted mine on saturday pics are in my project thread

and for anyone who wasn't sure what boss to use, it fits my omp boss perfectly :approve: (thats on a mk1 clio btw)

 

[Steviant]

I used the OMP boss on my car. I fitted Dan's with the Momo boss.

Both work spot on.

I wonder has Dan wore the suede out on his by now?
