uperSportGuy550: that looks cool

WJM Rallye Sport: yep

SuperSportGuy550: what the ring on top for?

WJM Rallye Sport: feels elventy billion 10900000000000002390756123561809765018746501 times bettAr than stock.

WJM Rallye Sport: rung?

WJM Rallye Sport: where?

WJM Rallye Sport: ring*

SuperSportGuy550: on top the steering wheel

WJM Rallye Sport: the yellow stripe?

WJM Rallye Sport: lets you know you are back to center

WJM Rallye Sport: never seen the WRC/

WJM Rallye Sport: ?

WJM Rallye Sport: race's?

WJM Rallye Sport: i guess not....

WJM Rallye Sport: lool

SuperSportGuy550: ya I just always wondered

SuperSportGuy550: as I know when I am back to center

WJM Rallye Sport: you can see it w/out really looking

WJM Rallye Sport: its really to let you know if everything is 100% with the car

WJM Rallye Sport: aka

WJM Rallye Sport: i if the car is going stright but the wheel it not back to center...problem

SuperSportGuy550: lol

WJM Rallye Sport: if wheel to cetner...car not...problem

WJM Rallye Sport: see?

WJM Rallye Sport: see

SuperSportGuy550: see thats a reason

WJM Rallye Sport: there it is

WJM Rallye Sport: Center-ation.

WJM Rallye Sport: lol

WJM Rallye Sport: ha

WJM Rallye Sport: done

WJM Rallye Sport: next Q.

WJM Rallye Sport: lol

SuperSportGuy550: the telling you when its back to center doesn't make sense to me

WJM Rallye Sport: *sigh*

WJM Rallye Sport: well

WJM Rallye Sport: it does

WJM Rallye Sport: lol

WJM Rallye Sport: to me

WJM Rallye Sport: and wvery other race car driver out there

SuperSportGuy550: but if the wheels are turned

WJM Rallye Sport: even ppl just use some tape for temp on the stock wheels at autox's and such

WJM Rallye Sport: ?

SuperSportGuy550: nevermind

WJM Rallye Sport: ??????

WJM Rallye Sport: ???

WJM Rallye Sport: ??

WJM Rallye Sport: ?????\

SuperSportGuy550: I'm just saying how do you know the wheels are straght?

WJM Rallye Sport: they are supposed to be stright when the line is at the top.

WJM Rallye Sport: thats why the line is there

WJM Rallye Sport: get it?

SuperSportGuy550: but we have like 3 turns lock to lock

WJM Rallye Sport: 3.7

SuperSportGuy550: so the ring will be on top 3 times

WJM Rallye Sport: REAL race cars only have about 1.5 to 2 turns

SuperSportGuy550: and thats what I don't get

WJM Rallye Sport: usualyl 1.75 or so

WJM Rallye Sport: ?

SuperSportGuy550: see I could see that

WJM Rallye Sport: see

WJM Rallye Sport: in real racing conditions, you are not going to use all of that input unless you are on the WRC

WJM Rallye Sport: or MAYBE autox.

WJM Rallye Sport: only few times are you going to use the whole lock to lock on autox.

SuperSportGuy550: so you're saying that its a rice part unless we get some quick steering racks :-)

WJM Rallye Sport: usually only 60% of it...still, we need faster racks.

WJM Rallye Sport: an on a race track, it would almost be best to have 4 turns lock to lock...WAY more precise input for road course.

WJM Rallye Sport: when you get to talking atuox and WRC...thats when you need the 1 or 1.5 turns lock to lock

WJM Rallye Sport: imagine ONE ************ing turn...lock to lock

WJM Rallye Sport: MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

SuperSportGuy550: ya

SuperSportGuy550: it'd be great

WJM Rallye Sport: 1/2 TUNR LOCK TO LOCK

WJM Rallye Sport: !:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!``!!!

SuperSportGuy550: that might be a bit much

WJM Rallye Sport: no

WJM Rallye Sport: what about 1/4 turn lock to lock!

WJM Rallye Sport: or how about ZERO LOCK TO LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

WJM Rallye Sport: INSTANT URNING!!!

I barrowed Templar's SParco 250MM one with the WRX hub adapter as stated before to test the fitment. You can get the 7306 (impreza) hub adapter for $60 from anywhere...or boxer4racing.com.

 

the 7303 is the one for the Leones...but is very hard to find and I think no longer avalible.

 

The only reason I used that wheel is to test the fitment of the Impreza hub adapter, as stated before.

Sorry, there was too much B.S to read through, so i skipped a few reply's.

 

So the WRX and the Leone adapter are the same tho right? So i dont need to worry about 7303 only 7306.

 

And $60 isnt bad, i think i know what my next interior mod will be :)

the splines are the same.... I'm sure there is some subtle difference, or they'd be the same part no.

yes, Gen1/Gen2vehicles have interchangeable steering wheels. the blue wheel in the pic was one I got on eBay. it's not a MOMO, just a "clone" that uses the MOMO 6 bolt pattern. I also got the MOMO adapter off eBay.

 

 

I'm confused, I thought original post was about STI wheel on EA-82. Isn't this wheel on a EA-81? Does that mean even a Brat can have a STI steering wheel:brow: . Garymomo.jpg

I just installed a momo-style steering wheel on my XT Turbo.

 

Just so you all know, the XT has DIFFERENT SPLINES than the other EA82 cars. The 6306 adapter does not fit, and it's very likely that the 6303 will not fit an XT either. I had a muffler shop weld my steering wheel spline to the adapter to make a custom adapter.

 

Here are pics!

It really makes the interior look racy. Also, it is considerably smaller than the stock XT wheel, (320 mm vs. 350 mm) so steering feels quicker. The flip side is that without power steering, parking is even harder than before. I'm going to get huge forearms driving this thing....

UPDATE:

 

So after a few weeks I decided that the replacement steering wheel sucks.

 

It feels cheap and was too small... but mostly, it feels really REALLY cheap. That, and the leather was starting to come off!

 

Lucky for me I scored a real honest to goodness MOMO wheel on eBay - used, but in great shape. Plus, my car is 17 years old, so a brand new wheel might look slightly out of place. Anyway, It's a MOMO monte carlo. Way better. Larger than the crappy wheel I had on before, but still smaller than stock, and it feels awesome.
