What Momo steering wheel would you recommend for an 89 Civic Si in STS?

Must be Momo brand, see this link. http://www.momousa.com/product.php?category=5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't really care about looks, I just want it to be the right size 280mm? 320mm? 350mm?, and not be unnecessarily heavy.

Monte Carlo (leather) or Type 78 (suede), 350MM. The one in there right now is a 320MM Monte Carlo

Cool, I guess that means all I need is the wheel; no adapter or anything needed right?

What'd Curt leave stains on the current wheel?

Seb, that's correct.

Aaron, that's...uh...also...correct.

Gross dude. :barf:

It's just too small, I need a little bit more mechanical advantage.

Hmm, seems you managed at least one time...

I greatly enjoyed my Momo 'Race'. 350mm

David has one of those JDM wheels. Pretty cool stuff.

I have the leather Monte Carlo 350mm

Jeff thought I could find something lighter. Talk to Schenker. Of course no idea of the adapter and such.

I kinda like the suede ones, but pricey and they may not last as long.

I do OK, I don't think I could fit in your seat.

This is now too homo-erotic for comfort, we need to get Max in here to "Man it up a bit" oh wait....

Seriously though, do you have a steering wheel suggestion?

I believe Bill's is smaller than mine...his steering wheel in the Miata, too

You really can't go wrong with the Monte Carlo. It's cheap, and in 350mm, it's the right size. The only real way you're really gonna save weight in a wheel is to go smaller and you don't wanna do that. If you want looks, just pick out something you like in 350mm from the catalog.

Real men have D-shaped steering wheels :gpower:

350mm suede Momo would be my choice (money no object, of course).

1. Hated the D shape I had originally in the Civic. Always was grabbing the wrong part of it. Ended up getting the 320 wheel + the quick release which put the wheel 2 1/2" closer. Helped for my, then, much fatter body in entrance/egress and driving.
2. 350mm Mod 78 in suede FTW!!!11!!1

My favorite Momo wheel is the "Competition" model. I like it because the rim is fatter and consistently round so it's easy to grip, has preforated leather, and the rim does not have those distracting anatomic raised portions above the spoke area that so many of their other wheels have.
