Default My newest Mugen goodness

I sold my Sparco wheel and picked up the newer Mugen (Momo) steering wheel. It is the thinest wheel I have found and I really like the feel. It seems I have more control because I can grip it better than the thicker Sparco. I'm sure the suede will wear quicker than a leather wheel would.

nice wheel

I really like that placement for the shift light too. How did you get that to fit? What kind of shift light is that?

I have an Autometer one from my old mustang, but its a bit big, and looks a little ricey.

I may end up using it anyway rather than spending more $$.

That is a big old honking Auto meter shoved into the dash. you have to remove the gauge bezel and use some creativity to wiggle it in there..........after you pull out the dremel and enlarge the hole slighlty.

Looks good

I got to test out Ausmith's. I really like the feel of the suede, but I'm going to keep my FG-360

What did you use to cover up what the hub doesn’t cover? In my R I have a momo wheel and I can see the inside of what I think is the steering column (its white in colour).
Kind of bugs me….

I cut out a piece of ABS plastic and hot-glued it in place to fill the void under the wheel.

Did you cut it to fit the shape flushed or fit it behind?
