good stuff.


just a suggestion.... for just a little more you can get a proper Porsche 968 CS wheel.


if you ever drive a CS wheel, it's an addiction (thick, best part designed for the 968 after the motor ahahah).


nicest Porsche steering wheel ever. worth every penny.

ya i know about that wheel.... its nice for stock, but i really like the feel of a suede momo... looks more race too.

Right now i've got a grant gt "gt rally" and i dont like it because its not 100% round all the way around, and when you're half way through a corner and both your hands are on two different heights of the wheel it feel wrong

here's mine - absolutely LOVE it



though, not Mod 7

if I were to go with a different one - I would go with a Nardi Deep Corn probably, though for the price, both Mod 7 looks like a NICE bargain ... I wanted one for a while

I unfortunately can't recall the model name of this wheel offhand (I can look it up tomorrow), but here are a couple pictures of my Momo wheel:

Mike,

That's the Momo Competition wheel. I have one in my 951. My only complaint is its a bit too small to see the outer gauges correctly. But it does give you much more room then the airbag wheel.

Doug- thanks for the reminder on the name. You're right, it can be a bit tough for me to see the water temp gauge and the 1-3k range on the tach, but for me, having the extra legroom more than makes up for the inconvenience of having to crane my neck every once in a while.

Also, i think that the smaller diameter wheel improved the steering feel on my car a bit - smaller wheel gives you a shorter lever arm on the steering column.

I just put a Mod 07 leather wheel in and wish did it a long time ago. I was sort of on the fence about it since i bought this car a few years ago because i wanted to keep the airbags, after reading the thread on Pelican about the spontaneous airbag deployment i decided to disable them for good.

I love the wheel, perfect diameter and feel. Also the concave dish on it moves it about an inch closer to you making for a nicer driving position, also makes it harder to hit the stalks for the turn signal and wipers (i dont need to pull the fuses before heading out on track anymore ). The standard airbag wheel is huge and i cant believe i put up with it for so long. Even the standard non airbag wheel is pretty big.

Unless you wear gloves all the time when you drive, i would not go with the suede. It will look like **** after a year, trust me. I had a Momo Champion in my n/a and the top suede half looked like complete crap due to the oils and sweat from your hand.

looks good... just not sure how i feel about that much dish
what kind of seats do you have btw?

Techno Duck

I really like the dish on it personally. Just imagine your current steering wheel about 1" closer to you.

Seats are Recaro SRD.

question for anybody with early interior, what wheels can be put on without modification? or no adaptors if possible?

right now ive got a grant gt wheel which is literally a finger width away from the turn/wiper stalks.... id like 1 more inch away from that, but yours looks like its 4-5" away
