Smaller wheel, Bigger fun

Back in my idiot days (no not yesterday, I mean when I was 20 and driving around in my soft top escort cabriolet like some kind of pimp, anyway...) I had a Momo race steering wheel, which I loved, I spent something like 170 quid on it back then and then being an idiot I decided to get rid of the car, without keeping it. In retrospect shouldn't have got rid of the car at all, but the least I should have done is removed the momo wheel, wolfrace wheels and the other ££££ I'd spent on it... sorry enough lamenting...

The point is that if any car is screaming out for a smaller steering wheel its the go kart of a car that the bug is becoming! However, I can't afford to spend that kind of cash on a momo wheel again. so instead I bought a used £15 job off ebay! originally from china or somewhere that direction I'm sure it's never going to win any street cred competitions, but then again, look at the car its in.  Took it out for a drive and actually makes a world of different, its about 35mm smaller than the old one.


The funny thing is, Mazda in their wisdom fitted the Vspec models in Holland with an aftermarket wheel using a Momo boss kit! so it literally took me 15 mins to rewire the horn and bolt on! rock on!

Still a few jobs left before the rally, but getting there!
