steering wheel for a GQ

Post by mabsydney »

Hi,

I'm after a nice after market steering wheel for my GQ.....any recomendations as to what is good.........Momo seem to be highly recomended.......but exepensive.

The original one is knackered and I want a smaller one anyway.

Thanks,

I have a cheap SAAS in mine, but I would go with a Momo if the $$ permitted.

A Cheap option is a steering wheel of a Pulsar, that's what was put on mine to get
RWC when the original was stuffed. Much smaller, less truck like..

Pretty crap, can't see much above 80kp/h with my Autotechnica wheel. You have to look around it to see the temp and fuel as well.
Anyone wana swap for a Nissan one that is in good nic (ie. not lose and twisty)?
As soon as it was made idiot proof, someone went and designed a better idiot.

I have a Pulsar steering wheel in the shorty. I think it is a slightly larger dia than the more sprty momo's.
As I can read most of the guages in my car with the pulsar SSS wheel, but find in difficult in a mates ute with an aftermarket wheel.

Also the pulsar steering wheel is a $50 (std) - $70 (SSS) bolt on. With no need for a boss kit.

There is pics of mine, cant remember if they are in my members thread or where in a previous steering wheel thread.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....
