On tuesday 1/5/01 i went to graham goode in leicester to purchase some parts for my scooby. I wanted white dials (160mph), didn't have any in stock, intercooler protector, only had a piece of mesh? then asked for a momo steering wheel boss kit, didn't have one in stock but told me their suppliers had one and if i ordered it there and then i would have it delivered by the end of the week. I ordered it and waited, today saturday 5/5/01 i still hadn't recieved it so i phoned several times to be put onto an answerphone, seventh attempt i got through to someone. I explained what i was waiting for to be told they knew nothing about the momo boss, it had never been ordered (i have a special order service invoice with the date of ordering), i was then told momo don't do a boss kit if the car has an airbag, so why did graham goode take payment in full on my credit card and promise to send me one before the end of the week, i thought they were Subaru specialists.

they where right momo do not make a boss for a car with an air bag but speak to Evolution they have there own made the number is 0191 477 0785 or so i was told when i was looking for one myself.

You can get a momo boss kit for the Impreza as long as you dont want an airbag wheel fitted ! you can fit a non airbag Momo wheel!

Ian,

That's not quite right. You can get a momo boss for the impreza but it's for a boggo model. The steering shaft etc is different for a turbo. I bought one for my98 scoob and the splines only gripped the shaft by 2mm instead of the full 10mm and the splines themselves were very shallow and poorly machined. The shaft itself is also tapered and the momo taper is totally wrong for the scoob turbo. I had mine re-machined but was still unhappy with the quality and fit of the momo, it's dangerous imho on all counts, which is why momo say that this boss is not meant for airbagged models.

Ian you can get a boss to convert from air bag to no air bag i asume this is what you whant ? if so try revolution like i said and it's not a momo but one which they have manafucred themselves.

John 555

Sorry for misleading you Robby, thats not what they told me when i was after one.
