[Mk2] [NA] How big a deal to change steering wheel?
I miss the momo I had on my v6, is it a big job to switch from the standard steering wheel on an NA?

Does it have an airbag? If not pretty simple I think.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

undo 1 screw from the bottom of the wheel, pull the horn surround off, get a 19mm socket and loosen the bolt
(without taking off), wiggle the wheel free, undo the bolt completely, removed

I just looked at the face of the steering wheel and it doesn't say airbag on it so I assume it doesn't
(it's a rev3 uk car).![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

So, that's great, thanks!
I just need a momo now, or are there other decent steering wheel types?

Some of the OMP wheels look pretty smart

Check my garage for a shot of a quite small and slightly flat bottomed Sparco.

looks quite oem in my opinion.

Thanks for those thoughts.
Anyone any idea what the minimum sensible diameter is?

Mine came on the car when I bought it
- its either a 260mm or 280mm and its a bit on the small side
- quite nice when you are used to it though.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

350mm is optimum size any smaller and its like you're driving with a shirt button
oh and you wont be able to see all of the dials through the wheel either at less than 320mm
