Default Changing Steering Wheel

im looking to get the,


Sparco Quick Release boss kit


http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motors...ing-wheel-boss


and the Sparco 368 wheel


http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...ck-suede-380mm


I just have a few questions,
do I need to buy anything else for it to fit?
is it still possible to use the horn with the steering wheel?




I have a Subaru 2007 STI Rb320 Hawkeye (completely Standard)


thank you.

It'll fit, but you won't have the airbag, so would it be road legal with airbag removed? And would it pass an mot.

Dccd Scoobs need a steering angel sensor for it to work correctly so fitting a aftermarket wheel without using the clock spring can cause problems

Would this be the case for a 2007 FSTi?

Default DAMD

Definitely go for the DAMD steering wheel totally changes the characteristics and feel of the car in a positive way looks genuine and feels chunky but not small only takes 10minutes to change over if in doubt I will be happy to put it on for you FOC if you decide to get one



Any excuse for a pic :-)
