Aftermarket steering wheels???

[shane@mbtech]

Who is running one, what steering wheel and what paddle set-up are you using.

Many thanks in advance.

[northernjim]

flow has a deep dish one, omp I think?

[_Nathan_]

I used to use sparco with Geartronics paddles, I am a Geartronics dealer these days ;)

[_Nathan_]

Ps. They do a single rally style paddle, up and down :D

[shane@mbtech]

PM me some prices for paddle options please Nathan:beer:

[_Nathan_]

Will do matey, as a warning they aren't cheap!

Hmmmmm, I might find me wiring up 2 buttons:whistle:

[_Nathan_]

Don't have a seperate price for just paddles without the rest of the system here but just looked back to 2009 and they were £325+vat then, worth it though, feel amazing and very positive in use.

When you decide to go the whole hog and get a proper gearbox I can sort you with everything you need for bansi laps like this, watch the gear lever :smt055

I'm lost, Why change the original wheel?

[shane@mbtech]

I'm lost, Why change the original wheel?

Because it has a great big airbag that I dont need, my seat is very low and very far back, and I want a deeper dish one so I can stay sat as far back in the car as possible.

There is another option to get steering wheel as closed to your hands.
You have to make 5 drills in OEM wheel and put a boss hub adaptor 70mm pcd bolt hole pattern. In this way you keep oem wheel.

Rear side

Nicest wheel is the BMW WTCC wheel, shame it costs 3k euro+vat for just the wheel (no buttons, paddles anything)

[shane@mbtech]

Where and how did you connect all the wiring up to the slip ring?

Looks great.

[shimmy]

It's all I can manage not to post a very funny but distasteful joke :

Bernard Manning would have posted it :mad:

I might go down that route in a few years to compliment the drenth sequential:whistle:

[_Nathan_]

The slip ring in my m3 has 8 orders + smg connector + airbag connector.

Manos your steering wheel looks awesome, looks like a lot of hard work and effort has gone into that, very jealous :thumbs:

Α correction.............6 pins (audio etc.) / 4 pins airbag (don't use it) / 2 pins smg

[shane@mbtech]

Do you have the Targa or WRC black suede wheel?

[_Nathan_]

Looks like the OMP one Porsche use in the 997 cup cars.
