New steering wheel

Inferno · May 13, 2009

Opinions? It's not tiny at 350mm, but it makes such a difference to the feel of the steering! I'm happy! (please excuse the poor photography skills)

powey · May 13, 2009

I fitted a 350mm and it does feel a nice size

ForceIndia · May 13, 2009

Awesome, mines the same size, but dished to bring it closer. Love it!

I looked at yours before making up my mind! I also read your comments about the reach to the stalks! Even mine without the dish is going to take a bit of getting used to! I didn't find it an easy choice when it came to picking one out!

Lol! They're wired up to the horn. If I could take a decent photo, you'd be able to see that they have little horn emblems engraved into them!

How's the Parrot? Thinking about getting one.

Jat_172cup · May 13, 2009

ahh...but you tell everyone else they are nos buttons right?well thats at least what i do lmao

320mm FTW

jdh91 · May 14, 2009

mmm, i was thinkig about getting a momo wheel, how does it affect the insurance.

dzm · May 14, 2009

Looks good. Presume your using harnesses rather than inertia reel belts?

With Greenlight it was just the admin fee. No additional costs for the airbag delete.

Yes.

Looks well that mate.

How easy/hard of a job is it to do?

It was so easy. Basically, what I did was give money to Mark Fish - he then did the work!

To be fair, I don't think it's difficult in the slightest, but I didn't fancy playing with the airbag. And as the car was in with him having the cage fitted it made sense.

Haha! another reading fail on my part, should have realised you had it fitted by someone else by your 1st post.

Yeah! playing with the airbag is what puts me off having ago at it, don't fancy a broken nose when it decides to go off.

Have you lost your cruise control and speed limiter fitting this mate?

Munson · May 15, 2009

Sweet. I've been thinking about a 320mm Momo Tuner TBH.

I don't yet have harnesses but, f**k it TBH. I don't intend to crash, and I drive defensively on the road, so my chances of being crashed into are reduced.

Inferno · May 15, 2009

I think if you disconnect the battery for a certain amount of time (20mins?) it's made safe, but if I was doing it I'd be leaving it for 6 hours of something stupid just in case! And I'd want the stuff the bomb disposal guys wear before I started to stick screwdrivers in random parts of the wheel!

I have for now, but I have a plan to resolve that. Unfortunately my plans generally never get off the ground, but the idea is at least there.

Looks like you've caught the track bug! There were times on here when I wondered if you even had a car!

Whiteley · May 15, 2009

Looks good that.

You wouldn't do me a favour would you please, and measure the distance between a pair of opposite mounting holes. I'm just looking at bosses for my mk1 to fit my Sabelt Cup wheel, but it'd be nice to know if a more well known brand of wheel is the same fitment.

Munson · May 15, 2009

F'uck you -x-

If you end up getting round to it can you do a guide please

No worries, will measure in the morning.

Lol! If I knew that you weren't going to be cleaning your wheels every weekend, I'd take that as an offer!

It's on the to do list! (It's a long list)

BIFCAIDS · May 16, 2009

what did your insurance say about putting it on? they put the price up much?

Just the admin fee (£25) - with Greenlight.

Anyone have second thoughts about losing the airbag? I like the idea of a smaller wheel but I sure won't lose the bag.

BIFCAIDS · May 17, 2009

jonny im the same

ForceIndia · May 17, 2009

Wouldn't put me off at all. There's dozens of old Porka's that I want to own, none of which have airbags. Does make you a bit more cautious though!

mini-valver · May 17, 2009

Looks good fella! I have a Corsica, used to have a flat SParco but I lowered the column and I used to catch my knees when pedal hopping. You're right about steering feel though, transforms the car! PM me pics of the rear box sections for the cage too if you get chance

Inferno · May 17, 2009

No problem. I'll have the pics over to you by tomorrow night.

mini-valver · May 17, 2009

You're a gent. Cheers mate

Great to know, save me phoning them up to check before I impulsively buy one
