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

Many thanks in advance.

flow has a deep dish one, omp I think?

_Nathan_ 22-06-2012 10:34 PM

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

_Nathan_ 22-06-2012 10:35 PM

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

shane@mbtech 22-06-2012 10:52 PM

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

_Nathan_ 22-06-2012 11:06 PM

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

_Nathan_ 22-06-2012 11:24 PM

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

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

That is awesome!!!

shimmy 25-06-2012 01:40 PM

I want one.............:smt055

_Nathan_ 25-06-2012 01:42 PM

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

shane@mbtech 25-06-2012 01:44 PM

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

Looks great.

shimmy 25-06-2012 01:46 PM

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

Bernard Manning would have posted it :mad:

The Gorilla 25-06-2012 01:55 PM

Hi,

Lawsy- I may have missed it but do you now
have an adjustable pedal box fitted ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Yanto 25-06-2012 05:10 PM

Manos - are those flippers from KarbonKid ? :-D

_Nathan_ 25-06-2012 07:43 PM

shane@mbtech 26-06-2012 05:35 PM

Any pics of how you connected to slip ring?

maxmeerkat 26-06-2012 09:34 PM

manos///3 - That looks really tasty!

Do you have the Targa or WRC black suede wheel?

_Nathan_ 26-06-2012 10:38 PM

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