Steering wheels

[Laser03pro]

that knob looks nice as s***... it costs way too much for me tho

ever thought going momo or sumthing? or do you still want somewhat of a stock look with the airbag and such

I think I want to keep the air bag since I drive the car everyday if it was my weekend car ide most def get a momo or some other without a air bag.

EBAY

I just seen one on ebay would have to look into a price for recovering one. Stock it wasnt really the blue im looking for.

I had seen some on there before but can't seem to find any now.

Heres a picture of one prob would be too much money and I dont think the blue would match the knob.

Anyone have a how-to for transferring the cruise control to the MSP steering wheel?

Good luck, a lot of work. I just removed my cruise control altogether.

Peace

Should that even be necessary? The MSP wheel isn't a Nardi wheel, just the Miata/MP3 wheel. In theory you just need to cut the holes through the plastic to put the screws in.

 

[TheMAN]

or replace the plastic panel with the P5 one to make cruise work on the MSP wheel

 

[Kansei]

Yeah that plastic panel can't/shouldn't be too expensive from like onlinemazdaparts.com or protegegarage.com

anyone know what i should do since it's agreed this isn't a nardi wheel? how do I modify the how-to for a MSP wheel?

 

[Reffoxel]

Here's a place ya'll might look at they recover steering wheels. You send in the steering wheel you want recovered and they send it back. They can even do wood or carbon fiber. Don't know what just a leather recover would cost, but I know I called them a couple of years ago, to price the carbon fiber, and it was like 600.00 which was why I didn't go that route. But I'd imagine just straight up leather would be alot cheaper.

American Stitches charges $259+14 shipping to US address for simple leather wrap two tone is 20 more. I found other companies that were cheaper for example leatherseats.com I will be having my wheel done soon from them.

the MSP wheel is built exactly the same as the P5 one, other than the color of the leather... its just a matter of 3 screws to take off the plastic trim, and 2 screws for the cruise control buttons... its EASY... the hardest part itself is just the connector... you'll need precision/jewler's screw drivers to take it apart to swap wires over

for $273, I rather find a GOOD condition used OEM nardi (wood or leather) and have something that fits and looks good.... my personal experience with aftermarket steering wheel retrimming (I mean you send it in and they do it for you) makes the steering wheel unnecessarily fatter than before and to me that's ugly and also increases the steering wheel diameter which is bad for driving

I've been looking man, remember I even mentioned to you if you found one to let me know. I just can't seem to find anything. Definitely nothing beats original equipement.

pushing the little tab on the bottom of the harness, and a little careful work with a safety pin did the job nicely for me.
