I want a tight steering wheel, but I'm kinda dumb and drunk so help me

CrazyHawaiian

Like Billet ones or something? Or for racing? Go do some searches on the internet for the manufacturers of different types of steeringwheels and check em all out. There is a pretty large selection to choose from. Some manufacturers off the top of my head: Grant, Momo, Trenz, Billet Specialties, thats all for now hahaha. Maybe start with a search here for 'steering wheel".

go wit the grant, i have it in my iroc i think it looks real good.

Grant also makes a removable steering wheel for added security. If i didnt have the airbag in my 92, i would go for that one.

CamarosRUS

mine. cheap but looks very nice with my interior. and i can run my n20 to the horn buttons

Does anyone know what the legalities would be with an insurance company if you got in a wreck and you had removed your airbag? I'd really like to put one of those carbon fiber wheels in my 92.

CamarosRUS

well i dont know for sure but there is some consequences if you take the airbag and dont tell them (like myself ). because they more than lilely have you down for a car with an airbag and that lowers the price slightly. im willing to bet if something did happen and they had to cover personal injury (you) they would fight it because they thought you had an airbag.

which carbon fiber wheel were you referring to? i wanna see it.

PontiacRacing

Here are some of the carbon fiber wheels I was looking at.





I really like that MOMO one.

here is a pic of my grant wheel. it matches my gauges and color of my car.

MrDude_1

anyone know of a nice looking, thick steering wheel that looks like it came stock?
just want to ditch the airbag wheel.....

BOTTLEDZ28

if you want a thick grip stock looking wheel then the best I can tell you is to find a C4 vette wheels and get it to fit your column. Then make a different horn buttom with a bowtie or plain emblem instead of the corvette emblem. my budy had a 91vette and the wheel in there was thicker then a stock leather wrapped iroc wheel. if you cant find that then the wheel I have comes in all black as well.

I have the Grant Carbon Fiber wheel and I failed inspection due to its size. If you live in Jersey, buy the 14" version. The description says the wheel I have is 13", but it is not exactly 13". I swear, the guys at the inspection station took more than 20min to inspect my car that day. Needless to say, I have not gone back in well over 3 years! lol If you guys wanted to know, the wheel is not real carbon fiber, it is printed on there, but looks real enough. Pretty nice wheel. Came with the car 7 years ago when I bought it.

CamarosRUS

yea i noticed a huge differnce when i went to my much smaller d shaped wheel, still the steering isnt too hard and the look is defenitly worth it.

Bottled...how difficult was it to install those gauges, looks amazing!!!

CamarosRUS, the gauges did take alittle time to install. THe wiring was the most difficult. I had to come up with a dual plug setup so I could remove it if i needed to.

P-I-M-P^^ Not my style, but it works for me. Keep the gauges black, IMO it looks better. Looks like a lot of work went into it. And yeah, that wheel is nice. My daily driver came stock with a MOMO wheel.

Jekyll & Hyde

I don't think I've ever seen the inside of your car, looks like you spent some time on that thing.

OutLaw305

1BadThirdgen

for me to poop on..............:lala:


Momo steering wheels are the nicest ones money can be IMO

RSraider41

slammed_z, are you gonna get some new seats? cause then that inside would be killer! (not saying its bad right now though)

slammed_z

what do you mean like 2 tone my seats to..or replace them with racing seats or something?

RSraider41

i dont know man, that old striped stuff just doesnt really seem to agree with the rest of it

nick418

:werd:


Why dont you keep the stock wheel..

slammed_z

well i always did wanna make the hole interior blue and white but i think my car wouldnt suit it..like i see it in hondas and love it..but i just dont think my car can do all blue and white...but i have considered the seats..but then the rest really wouldnt work i thought..so im not sure

saj1420

def. a sweet car, whats the name of that paint.. the blue

1BadThirdgen

Step 1) Make the seats blue and white leather

Step 2) Thank us later

:lala:

CamarosRUS

the stock one does look nice, very nice actually but i got paid about $50 to put my aftermarket wheel on and my wheel now just goes better with my whole interior.

My Formula didn't have one on it when i bought it i didn't know it was supposed too (90 was the first year the f-bodies got the airbag) in case you didn't notice the sarcasm: I removed the ugly bulky looking original airbag wheel

Ya know, the funny thing about air bags.. they seem like the car decided to pimp slap you for ****** up...

irocbirdbuilder

oh man i saw that in street rodder magazine when it first came out a little bit ago and had to have it fell in love but is too pricey for me right now

MrDude_1

but that still has the airbag...
not to mention, the airbag weighs almost as much as the front bumper.. lol.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'trick', but, if it is high-tech race ready products you're looking for then here are some rather cool products. And no, I'm not suggesting for a second that your average thirdgen owner would require these - just showing the really 'trick' options that are available for road-race cars with stripped interiors.

Ya know I saw pictures of one of those wheels on an STI. The guy was selling it for I believe like $700.

holy crap. Who needs a gauge cluster when you can have it all on the wheel. Can you imagine all thew wiring that will have to be run for that wheel

I had 2 posts in this thread. Where the **** did they go?

MurcoRS

I went with the MOMO "tuner", mostly for the clean styling and tasteful looks. The other ones shown in this thread are cool, but wouldn't look right in my car (or most cars on here)..
