sorry i have entered this on the wrong page

you need a steering wheel boss (funnily enough i got mine from demon tweeks )

it's a pain in the backside to do to be honest, it involves a lot of fiddling with the horn and i've lost the use of the self cancelling indi's but the wheel is a definate improvement on the standard one fitted to my car



just wondering though, why do you want to change the steering wheel?? aren't the type R's fitted with the Momo wheel??

also notice you're local to me give us a yell if you need any more info/help etc etc

i had a minor mishap and both airbags deployed, i brought some second hand ones from a breaker and the passanger side one was right but the drivers one was off an earlier car, he didnt want to refund and subaru want loads for a new one thanks for the picture thou what model is yours

gljam

MY97 but they're all the same (apart from the earlier models that had no airbag as standard)

you can even fit steering wheels from newage blob/bug eye Imprezas with a bit of jiggery pokery to the airbag wiring

the one they sent me was adifferent shape where it fits into the wheel also it didnt have the chrome ring around the momo badge

gljam

not too up on the different wheels, the one fitted to mine was the crappy subaru own brand one

quite suprised the wheel doesn't fit, any pics??

no i havent declared it to the insurance and i didnt relaise the whole system wasthe defunked untill after i brought the airbags, i have now got the glovebox where the passenger side was! it was only low speed bump just that it hit the near side trigger bang on the nose and i dont intend on another air bag going off in my face as they burn!!!

Fitted Momo wheel to replace the Nardi on my '95 import. Got a boss kit from Halfords, and did a little adjusting using a coleman's mustard pot lid to get the self cancelling indicators to work. It is an **** job, but the wheel is definately worth it. Good luck!

thanx for your help and pictures i have sucsesful done the job now with lots of sanding of the cowel and a door ajar switch for the horn ring!!
i have put nardi 3 spoke sti wheel may not be everybodys cup of tea but still looks relativley standard and i think it looks nicer than the aftermarket wheels in my price range
