Nice. Hope you don't get sick of the black/yellow combo too soon! What kinda wheel is that? Looks to have a similar shape to the 968 RS wheel.

I hope that's not the $39.00 special from Ebay. I bought one to see how I would like the smaller wheel. At that point I didn't want to drop $200+ on a sparco or momo in case I really wanted a standard wheel. At any rate, I would bend the cheapy wheel everytime I nailed the brakes coming into a hairpin. As I exited I would have to pull the wheel back to straighten it. I have since replaced it with a Sparco and have no further problems.

I like the yellow/black combo

If that's one off ebay, I would have recommended against it. I had one in mine for a while till the material started peeling off the actual wheel where it was glued by the horn button.

You better get you some yellow sunglasses to go with that car

Then:
Yellow leather driving gloves.
Yellow race suit.

Of course your yellow does not compare the the ultimate yellow turbo...think roller skates

It is a MOMO steering wheel. It's pretty nice. To tell you the truth I thought it would be smaller than what it really is. BTW I do wear wear yellow while driving this car

I've never seen that on the Momo site or from any of their distributors. It looks like the one sold at AutoZone (APC made, maybe).

Does it have a Momo name or part number?

I've checked out the Chopard Mille Miglia chronograph with a speed yellow dial, you should have that hanging off your wrist. And someone is selling key fobs in yellow leather, I may break down and get one.

Andy, its pretty simple. However a little more involved with your car as you probably have an airbag. Basically disconnect the battey and wait about an hour. Use a torx bit (i think T30) to remove two screws towards the back of the steering column. Pull the airbag assembly off. You then need a 15/16 or 24mm deep socket to remove the rest of the wheel. Simply replace with a Momo hub, part #7004 and the wheel of your liking.

That will look great! I also think a black/yellow/chrome engne bay would look really good if done properly, just wish it would go with my car color.
