I replaced my steering wheel with a dallas custom wrapped wheel.

1800 miles now in the last 12 days... did have a terrifying cold weather spin trying to do a pull... pulls are done for until we see at least 52F, probably 2015

Pioneers, especially us stubborn ones are the ones with arrows in their back

I hear you.. no more tomfoolery this year... LSD and K24 68MM HTA is next on list and tires

i suspect strongly you have wads of disposable cash lying around lol. but if not please delve deeply into the differences btw the guard at 4k and the wavetrac for 1295! if only some of the guys could try this thing, they'd have a different opinion of it. hell, my trans guy didn't even want to install it.. at first! then he tried it lol

i couldn't live w/out my wavertrac now, and can't see how anyone would want to stay awd. but then, it never rains in SoCal. i'd have a healthier respect and use for awd if i lived anywhere but the desert.

tires?!? on a "list"!?.. i use approx 2.5 set of ps2's a rear.. and i'm broke LOL

your new turbos will be sweet ! but your a straight-line pull guy, and I'm a hill climber/canyon tamer lol i'll never change my 16/24's unless they seize

how do you like the feel? i saw one uninstalled and it looked like a quality refresh but after much deliberation i opted instead for a raid/atwie 340mm two tone in leather/alum accents as i like the smaller size.

but the dct sure looked good. hope you like it.

I love the new wheel. I had them rewrap the wheel, make it thicker, add a 12 o'clock stripe and cover the hub in matching leather. The wheel looks great feels great and now makes the car smell like leather. The additional thickness makes the steering feel a little quicker, provides for better driving posture (as your thumbs aren't wrapped around the wheel), and the 12 oclock stripe lets you get a good visual of where the wheels are pointing. The marker has actually been my favorite aspect of the upgrade.

I would upload a picture but the website says i have reached quota. See link to some pictures below.

Looks good retains the oem feel/look of interior.

thats exactly why i went for the atwie /raid 340! lol its the same as fvd sells with their badging for over a grand!

Not just a str8 line guy, just use those as measures of what mods have done... driven a lot of RWD open diff cars, so no biggie and most of my problem for the straight line is tires but with now 40F and below temps all the shops are telling me not to go Toyos or new Michys til Spring.

I am usually a windy road guy but don't get up enough speed to worry about the LSD out here in Long Island... will worry about LSD EARLY '15

I drove from NY city to Hamptons in 4 hours through what felt like 3" of rain in my poor old Bimmer.. the CAI hates guzzling water from the crappy Long Island roads.. meh... Porker sat in the garage

rain/snow is an awd deal! lol. sfor traightlines lsd is far less important unless its a dig or launch, i would guess. but your wise to install one, it transforms the car.

finally got the rear spiller working. Dismantled the hydraulic Pump and struts, refill hydraulic .

discovered a bit of creaking in the old mo30's though it could easily be less important yet connected components cv's top mounts who knows. nothing major but nothing creaked before. man this car takes a beating i mean really. hands down the most reliable thing ever made lol
