Default Steering Wheel Upgrade!

I've always hated the stock steering wheel (the wheel is too thin), so I got a RS2 wheel from <A href="http://www.euro-audi-parts.com" target="_blank">Europrice</a>. I love it!

Default That's sweet! But....

is it just me, or is that steering wheel too close to the column? There doesn't seem to be as much space between the dash and wheel. Also, I can't see the lighting stalk.

How much was the wheel?

I wanted to replace my wheel with a Momo 'Race' wheel. Wife put an end to that endeavor.

I know exactly what your going through. My wife (recently married) wants me to sell my 1967 Lotus Elan coupe so that she can park her Honda Civic EX in "our" garage. Haven't told her about the other two Lotus I have 72 Europa and 74 JPS Europa which I'm storing in a rented garage. We settle this by moving my truck, which I keep in another garage along with my Miata, and moving her car into that space.

Nice, but too much $$$, IMO. I'd rather spend $200 on a Momo, and pocket the $300 extra for something else. But, thats just me...

Default That really looks nice!

Man, I'm in trouble as my wife just asked me what I wanted for Christmas.

Very nice, complements the interior very well.

Default Nice!

How hard was the install? Did you have to source a special adapter???

Any non-airbag wheel should work on the non-airbag typ44, 89, 8A, 8B cars.

Got an airbag? Try an A4/S4 or Cabrio sport steering wheel. My sister is lucky her Cabrio has an airbag, and my CQ doesn't, otherwise she'd be out of a Sport wheel.
