Steering Wheel Replacment for track use

[Shandon]

Wondering how biig a deal it is to remove the steering wheel to install a momo? What about the Airbag light? Also do they detach easily.... would love to have some feedback on this subject from those that have done it. Also would like feedback on how to pick out a steering wheel?

Tthis car is primarily for track use anymore.

pick one that you like as this is a personal item for a driver just as shoes would be for a runner or batting gloves for a baseball player. Look at the Sparcos as well as the momo's.

Thanks, I saw those aready but neither answered my question. What to do about the light? I guess besides pull the bulb? PIA!

I like the idea of trying them but no place around me sells them so I am SOL on feel tests. Have to go with recomendations or at least get it narrowed to two and order both and return one.

Shandon,

You will have to live with the light, not a big deal to me, and this is the BEST feeling wheel I have tried (I have 5 different ones kinda like shoes to me )

Sparco

You must be registered for see images attach

Mark is quite a " Wheelman!" Sure he is pretty fast, but we call him that because he is the Imelda Marcos of steering wheels. I think you are viewing Monday, haha.

It is a great wheel , though, I will concur.

Or you can recover your stock leather wheel with alcantara.

I took a piece of black tape and covered the warning lite.

The light weight Sparco combined with the solid aluminum rack bushings will make the car feel like a totally different animal, response and feed back from the tires is awesome.

We have a Reverie wheel in the racecar. If you want the lightest wheel, look into a composite wheel from Reverie. A lot of the ALMS cars run these:

bad pic, check out their site:

ReVerie :: Carbon Fibre & Composite Automotive Parts: Steering Wheels, Seats, Air Boxes, Rear Wings, Diffusers, Spoilers, Wheel Arches, For All vehicles inc. Lotus Elise/Exige/340r, Caterham, Westfield

We have their Aston Martin LeMans Wheel. Super light.

Sorry to bump this older thread but all the links to relevant threads are broken.

Are you guys using spacers with your aftermarket steering wheels? I want to space a new aftermarket steering wheel about 1" closer to my body.

Do you need a special kit to mount those steering wheels?

Get a MOMO hub kit and you can get 1" spacers from the same place generally, I use the spacer also.
