I've got the dished sparco one which I find a bit big, what have people gone for?

 

Ask goldy about his small steering wheel >>>

 

Flol, cheers for that.

 

DAMD make some lovely steering wheels with or without flat-ended bases.

Cost a bit though.

 

OMP have some nice small ones in their range.
Top Gear missed a trick not having Goldy fronting it. With shrewd observations like noting the existence of the exhaust and engine, this guy is on top of his game.

 

retrimmed oem

 

Is that the dude in Aylesbury that did that tubs?

And sorry to hijack, but what did you need to do to fit those clocks. Just trim a connector and cut one of the wires?

 

i forget now, i got it from a link on here i think it was though. very pleased as i wanted to keep the oem wheel for clockspring and airbag reasons.
i have to say the alcantara part is nice in the cold weather.

it was just a finishing touch, what that picture doesnt show is i changed out the blue sti interior to the black spec c one with black carpet and door cards and sweeping dials, the wheel just finished it off

 

The new breed of impreza owners hey....

 

I think i might have to give him a shout, he is just around the corner from me.

When you fitted the clocks, did you only have to shave a plug and cut a wire or is it more involved?

 

forget the wheel he has got four turbo timers, although three are missing.


look at my exhaust, there it is

 

yeh a bit of fiddling about but nothing to bad, add a couple of relays and mess with the handbrake. look much better than the green ones.

they are not jdm ones they are hawk sti ones so are in mph

 

Ah ha ha!

330-350 aftermarket seems the going thing on subarus mate, or Oem new age ones

 

I feel ill

 

I don't get it, the subaru impreza to begin with was a very competent rally car which over the years created a very good racing pedigree, yet some how it has managed to fall into the hands of complete fuktards! You don't see countless chavs and brain abortions rolling around in an audi quattro from a few years before. The brand has become a victim of its own success ( In the reputation department any way ). By producing so many of the bloody things, the cost of buying one of these is in grasp of your garden variety dumbass!

Its a shame, because we all love a good car at a good price and i'm glad for that because i got my car at reasonable money. I just can't help thinking that its the owners fault for driving down the cost though, not the person buying it.

Weird rant over.

Plus i want to kick that kid in the ***** for talking like a tool!

 

I like that. My steering wheel is looking a bit worn, what sort of money am i looking at to get mine like yours ?

 

6volt just had a look and it was royal steering wheels in aylesbury that did it

 

Thought it was... Polish dude?

What was the cost ot that? I like the look of it but would probably rather keep the perforated matte leather all round... the red marker looks very cool though

 

he was of eastern european i had a little difficulty understanding him on the phone but that said he delivered on the time promised and the quality was spot on, i forget the price now but it was reasonable enough.

 

Tubbytommy how much did that set you back?

 

as i said above ive forgotton, he does an exchange so your not without a wheel you pay up front plus £50 then he does the wheel and sends it to you and you return your old one and he refunds the £50.

all went fine and couldnt be more pleased. great service

 

Sorry I didn't refresh the page, seems reasonable and he's only around the corner ,

 

I haven't measured, been out all day. What's the size of the deep dished one, normally?

 

The dish is normally 9-13cms iirc, they come in different diameter sizes so you will have to measure

 

I was referring to the size, 350mm etc.

 

This

 

I have a Raid Type 18 in suede -- flat & 280mm dia.(!!!):-



The fat-handed tw*t LOL!

 

Others are:-

MOMO Team @ 280 or 300mm (pretty much the same design as the Raid, but in leather).

OMP Trecento - suede or leather, 300mm

MOMO Monte Carlo - leather, 315mm


All those wheels are flat though. But of course, you can always add a spacer or quick-release/spacer .


There is a 330mm (rather than 350mm) pattern of your deep-dished Sparco - check Europe and US auctions on eBay. Possibly inferior copies though(?).


There are loads of wheels out there to choose from -- spend a day or two researching online.

 

Sabelt make some good wheels

 

OMP, Sparco, MOMO, Sabelt, Raid, Nardi/Personal, Reverie...

The list is almost endless.
