Which Steering Wheel ?

Have the big flat standard leather trimmed wheel on the car.
Had an RS Clubsport wheel on the 964, and it felt great.
Ive seen the RS 993 at Matts Website, and meh, anyone got one on theirs?
May go RS Clubsport route again.
How big a conversion is it?
 
To me this is the best looking steering wheel for a non RS or GT 993, love the carbon version but would need all the interior parts to go with it.

I can't seem to be able to find one at a sensible price though.

That's my steering wheel ! Although I have the thicker rimmed CPZ version and the black / silver crest.

It's lovely.
 
I am sure that was a pretty penny Mohitos. Worth the money though I'm sure, afterall it is something that you have a lot of contact with.
I think that I had better stop before I talk myself into ordering one :shutup:

Interestingly Porsche have used this steering wheel on 993's through to early Carrera GT's.
 
I do quite like the one that Sam put on his old 993 (now Mohitos car). It was an Atiwe/Raid one and I think suited the car quite well, but depends whether it has to have a PCar Part Number on it.

I thought it was a 996 wheel. Was it an option on the later production 993's?

So did I and to be honest I am not so sure but the 3 spoke air bag wheel is listed as an option in the Teq Catalogue for the 993.
If I hadn't seen it listed I would have definitely said 996 onward.
 
There are 5 decisions to make:

- cosmetic / material
- diameter / thickness of rim
- porsche oem part / 993 specific or not
- airbag / none airbag
- price point

Apart from that it's easy assuming you assume hub compatability. The hardest bit is if going for a none airbag as you have to fit a resister to fool the car into thinking an airbag is fitted.

Definitely don't go smaller than 340mm and even that is a tad small for a 993 to me so I went for 360mm which is similar to rs diameter. Ps it transforms the car ;-)

That does look nice.

:yes:

But I still do have lingering issues with the whole airbag deletion thing.

And the wheel is not cheap. £400 ish IIRC. :o (less if you buy the Momo mod 07 version - the same wheel but without the Porsche inscription on the right hand spoke).
 
IMHO I would never contemplate a none airbag wheel in any car without a full harness fitted (ie track car). There are some innovations that I don't see any logic in giving up ie I can only see downsides and no upside for a road car in deleting the airbag but each to their own. Just make sure you fit them properly with a resistor so at least your passenger airbag will work for the poor sod sat next to you ;-)
 
What you say makes sense about deleting the airbag.
