...and what brand wheel?

It's a Nardi Sport Rally dish wheel. Fraid it's not in your budget though.

And I only have two tweeters. Not my fault someone else built the car with big holes in the doors.

Daikei hub, 350mm Momo Monte Carlo, 1" eBay spacer (I think it's LTB). I've driven a car with the eBay wheel and it was the shittiest feeling wheel in the world. I've driven a car with a Nardi and it was nice, but too small IMO (320mm). I like my big wheel.

i currently have an ebay wheel. i mean it does the job but i didnt realize how small it was. If i feel like buying another one i'd go bigger than 320mm

Sparco Ring here. I <3 D shaped wheels.

Basic question... what does everyone do about the Airbag Light? Can you slap on one of these adapters,and wheels and roll on... Remove a bulb.. Or are most removing the entire airbag assy?

On the 90-93 you can just cut off the connector and connect the wires together. On the later cars it requires a resistor. You can remove the battery backup and cut the line to the light as well.

$150 dollar setup....not cheap, but not expensive and have had for over two years.
As for the airbag light, I used a jumper harness from R-speed, but then finally 86'd the whole AB assymblies and computer.

Good to know, thanks for the info. Been waiting for a thread of this sort. Weighing my options now too.

is that so? I added the 3-ohm resistor to mine....it's only off half the time. :fawk:


I kept my stock connectors, they are shoved under the plastic boot cover.

I had a spare clock-spring so I just cut them off.

I got the MOMO Team(280mm)steering wheel,MOMO hub & NRG slim quick release.

When it comes down to steering wheels & hubs,don't cheap out,spend the extra money on something that is good quality.Remember,the steering wheel is the only thing that allows you to steer the car,how important is that?

samnavy 08-25-2008 12:57 PM

^Not true, I steer with my right foot all the time... more often now that I'm back to 185tires.

Good advice all, keep it coming. I take it the adapters from just about any company are universal and will fit other brands. For example, if I buy a Momo hub, can I put a Sparco wheel on it?

jayc72 08-25-2008 01:07 PM

Sparco and MOMO are the same pattern. Grant uses something unique. Tekniq is different again. So watch what you buy.

spike 08-25-2008 01:09 PM

^the Grant & Tekniq use a 5 bolt pattern,the MOMO & Sparco use a 6 bolt pattern.

jayc72 08-25-2008 01:13 PM

Tekniq uses a 6 bolt patter, the spacing is just different. I've got a Tekniq hub in my car with a MOMO adapter/spacer for my Sparco wheel. The Tekniq hubs are shorter than normal, since they are made to work with their own quick release.

spike 08-25-2008 02:04 PM

Jay,do you have a Tekniq quick release? if you do,how do you like it?

jayc72 08-25-2008 02:13 PM

Nope, just the hub.

Fake Ebay Momo here, seems to work fine so far.

My Daikei hub came with a connector. Airbag light comes on at startup, just like normal, and stays out the rest of the time. Easy peasy and I didn't cut anything.

I snagged a genuine momo monte carlo off ebay for $35, love it. I use a Dakei hub I bought in the classifieds here for $40 :)

the older I get, the cheaper I am
