Default Which steering wheel???

Okay chaps, due for a change.

Ive narrowed it down to the 3 following wheels. Which should I go for?

Momo 07


OMP Corsica



Sparco 345

Did he say "Frayz mate, your face ain't worth insuring, no air bag no problem" ?

I like the Sparco 345 best, not keen on the bling holes in the others. Are these detatchable, cause I really liked your STi recovered ones ?

Sparco think it will look great with what you have already.

did you have them 2 race seats fitted that you posted about last week. What make did you go 4 in the end. Would hate to see your credit card bill this month but I bet the car is looking great.

ha ha ha,

I dont own a credit card mate for that very reason lol. I bought one of the seats. its a Recaro Pro racer SPA. Im just in the process of making a neat frame to mount it to as i dont wish to bolt it directly through the floor, id rather use the existing mounting points.

As for wheels, ive just come across this. Only available in the USA but im gonna pleed to get one to the UK.

I think this looks amazing, made by Sparco for Prodrive.

Well, the best i can push myself to afford.

Its all expense at the end of the day mate, but i drink a little, i dont smoke and im not out shoving coke up my nose. So i might aswell enjoy spending it on the car

I think ive done an alright job so far lol

You want to contact MachV Motorsports if you're looking into the Prodrive wheel. It can be found here:

Prodrive Racing Steering Wheel - Interior

I'm sure you could convince them to ship overseas.

Ive contacted a few people in regards to getting the Prodrive one. Hiopefully they will get back to me with a shipping quote to get one to the UK.

Typical that the Prodrive one is twice as expensive as the others lol

Would be rude not to

Is it still more expensive given the exchange rate ? I bought some cracking stuff for the house dirt cheap with the exchange rate at nearly 2 dollars per pound.
