Anything Rothsport puts out is good quality.... I have one in my Hot Rod E, and maybe the 3.8 RSR Clone.

You won't be sorry. All his items are tested on the race track.

I'll second that, BTW.
Jeff's attention to detail is unsurpassed.
The real deal. Also goes for the guys who work for him.

That car is wicked. Love that steering wheel. It's a Momo wheel but what model is it?

looks like a really nice product but in their ebay store, they have it listed for 495$ and personally, I wouldn't spend that much on fork and lever. Especially when the porsche RS unit is a little over 100$

I talked to Jeff today and purchased one. Does anybody have an install thread for a short shifter?

Nice interior BTW!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the compliments!

That wheel is actually a Sparco 345(?). It's three-spoke, and looks almost identical to the Mod07, but has a slightly shallower dish (IIRC), and does not have holes in the spokes. I was transitioning from a Monte Carlo (basically flat spokes), and wanted the shallowest dish I could find in the three spoke design.

CWay - I hear you, but as my car is a '90, the factory RS parts wouldn't work. Jeff's setup is EXTREMELY high quality and, IMHO, the best option out there, if you're not going the factory route.

Regards,

Dave

Seems like the factory RS parts do fit 90 car, with mod to grommit thing...

Is that wheel chunkier than the momo 07...
