If the sale falls through let me know.

Sorry guys, but the wheel is officially sold. However, Al has the identical wheel, and may be persuaded into selling. Come on Al... you know you're ready to turn that puppy into a dedicated track car (I got the momo mod 07 and life line quick release today... yummie)

You let the cat out of the bag, Glen. Not sure if I am ready to let this one go. The sc is scheduled to come off mid August and at that point it's all down hill from there; in a good way.

Here's a sneak peak.

I was the lucky buyer of the steering wheel and I just got it in the UPS from NinjaBones. All I can say is what I told him - "oooohhh baby - now that's a steering wheel!!" I can't wait to get this thing on the car (I'm sure it will result in at least 10 more bph).

Nice looking wheel can you still see the gauges as well with the 3 spoke? Smart move doing the yellow strip in leather as opposed to alcantara should stay cleaner longer. Having one done for my 944.

I'm having it installed today, so I'll let you know. I think it was the same diameter as the original, but had more padding which would reduce the diameter a tad (1/8" if I recall correctly).

I'll let you know.

The oem n/a wheel is 380mm, the oem RS wheel is 365mm.
I have the RS wheel in mine, all the gauges are visiable.

Installed it today and it is incredible. I can see all of the gauges just fine. It may be as much fun as a new exhaust system, but I haven't had that pleasure (yet).

Thanks very much ninjabones!!

Hound Dog.
