It's a MOMO Corsa I think, I'll have it home in the garage today so I'll check. We actually have two, one old and one very used; the good one gets put on at the track. The QR is available from TC Racing in Memphis TN

thanks ski, but isn't momo corsa a rim? it looks as if momo calls the steeringwheels mod 12, 31 etc

as for removing the insulation. dry ice freeze it so it comes off in big chucks and makes the glue less sticky. heating also works, but leaves a lot of really sticky glue residue.

http://tcracing.org/p2.html#Steering%20Wheels

here is the link. Both wheels and the QR system came from the car that I parted while building the track car. I spelled Corsa but it's Corse, not sure if it's MOMO but I thought it was, not sure where Tico gets them (the T in TC Racing - the C is his wife)

carb cleaner or brake cleaner, be aware that at least the brake cleaner is self flammable.

if you had used dry ice there would be less goooo to clean.

I think the easiest, biggest savings are the seats, hood, and glass hatch. You must be able to save well over 100lbs with substitutes for these?

Look in the yellow pages...you should be able to buy broken pieces for cheap. Dry ice isn't really all that great at removing the undercoating....heat and a scraper and time work well.

Put whatever dry ice you don't use in your intercooler.

How hard is the sound deadening in the doors to get off? I know theres not much room for a heat gun.

You can tear most of it off in a full sheet with just your bare hands...at least I was able to in my car.
