My MOMO steering wheel, Function First shift ****, and 997 GT3 shifter are three of my favorite mods.
The improved connection to the driving experience is priceless.

Very nice! How difficult was the install. Are you getting an airbag light or code?

Yes, completely agree. The MOMO **** is my next interior plus two corbeau's.

The install was a touch confusing, but once finished seemed simple. The MOMO adapter is solid, and they updated the adapter to include the horn wiring. Issue is simply the cable routing now for snapping potential. We'll see. As for airbag, already have the light on due to passenger belt, plan to fix that then add the 3ohm resister to the airbag wiring.

I will add that at almost 6'2", the smaller 350mm wheel is slightly blocking the crucial RPM's around the 4k mark. I may have to drop my seat height to adjust for that. Not the end of the world, but annoying nonetheless.

At 5'7" it's partially blocked for me, but not enough that I can't see when I'm running 3k-5k.
4K is just another number.
They don't get important until well past 6K.

Haha, that is a fact as well. 4k for me is where it starts, unless fuel saving to make the stop.

Thanks, this car is so deep at this point, there is no going back to stock. But thanks anyway.

Now that looks good. After I finish building my splitter and uprights, I am following suit. My car needs paint badly at this point.

yes it’s a lot of bs. I did apr tuning in my 99 and it works good. I would say it’s good for maybe 10 hp, when you add headers exhaust, throttle body ipd plenum and get a Carrera S 3.8 litter airbox with a kN panel everything adds up.

Fitting one of these may help :

Does anyone know when Porsche moved to metal pulleys? My 2004 has what looks like all metal pulleys, which I imagine are more dependable and wont break up on you over time.
