right! i need some help! i dont know wether to keep my dc5 steering wheel or sell it on and get a dished wheel?

what do you guys reckon? anyone here experienced dished wheels?

or any aftermarket for that matter?

sell it dude
i loved my black leather nardi, and my wood nardi i had in my teg but the felt too big, really tempted to get the dished nardi for my next wheel but it is still on the large side.

i used a cheap ebay hub i had off a momo replica wheel for my nardi wheel, not sure whether it will fit tho cuz it was in a 3rd gen prelude

same here i've got a momo hub! but the only thing is is that it wont work with a snap off boss for some reason.

Subject: Re: My Ek9 Tue 06 Apr 2010, 5:03 am

yeah i used a momo too. they do a momo to nardi adapter plate too, for some reason? i didnt have any problem so i dont know why you would need one.

Suede nardi's are the sickest IMO, dont know how long they will last looking new though.

for pure feel, i'd say the momo, i think the one i had was 320mm
perfect

thinking about stripping my powersteering now too! for the full wire tuck effect and more race feel!

anyone done this?

dave what car you in these days? s2000 yet?

defo get the leather one!

i had no power sterring on my coupe even tho the pump was there it didnt work lol i prefer power steering all day.

if you ever find yourself lift off over steering it is a BITCH to correct without p/s i think its a hole load better with it 2bf!
