Which steering wheel would you choose?
#21
I want to buy one of these since they're cheap and look right, but I'm afraid that having a replica wheel will make me into a colossal ------

Slight deviation, but related.
I'd love to find a way to either bring the stock wheel an inch or two closer to me, or an aftermarket wheel with the same diameter as stock. Reason- I'm quite tall, and when I sit in a car with one of these tiny wheels, it completely blocks my view of the OPG, and cuts off the top of the speedo and tach.
Thoughts?

that's why I got the dished wheel. I couldn't use the brakes without my knee hitting the stock wheel. now it's fine. it's almost the same diameter as stock.
this is about eye level:

correct. my last miata had leather seats and you actually sat lower than the cloth ones, since I got the new one, the first thing I had to do was get a new wheel. Now my knees dont hit the steering wheel and it's closer to me. It makes driving the car that much better, I highly suggest a new wheel.

Mines slightly smaller in diameter. 300m vs 350mm stock, IIRC. What I I really like the most is that the wheel is closer, but there's something about this one that makes turning easier and more comfortable, especially with no P/S. I can measure both if you give me a few minutes.

You guys know me, heres a paranoid question.
Is it safe getting those cheap wheel hubs? Like the one someone mentioned from Sonicmotor.com. Its only 20 bucks. I worry about the wheel coming off in my hands while im driving.

I've also been using an ebay hub for 2+ years with no problems.

wire the two wires together. problem solved. 90-93.
94+ requires a 3ohm resistor, just measure whatever the resistance is then try to match it with a resistor. (I used three 10ohms in parallel, but it only worked 50% of the time).

Well. Thanks for all the tips guys, I guess im gonna have to give this just a bit more thought.
We went to a strip joint friday night and instead of buying a steering wheel today, i spent my money on lap dances.

make sure you get a 3 ohm resistor that's pretty tight tolerance.
