Aftermarket Steering Wheels

Recommended Posts

My stock wheel is trashed. Anyone with an NRG steering wheel having good or bad luck? How about Pilot or Grant Steering wheel owners? Just want to get some install opinions before i commit to anything. looks like they all need an adaptor of some sort and i'm hearing that some might need to be welded on...?

i've got the same one as 19c. and i love it. but you get what you pay for. if i dont sell my car i will go with a momo like rob has. i smaller wheel feels( to me ) better then stock. but i like a thicker steering wheel

 

 

did you and 19C get yours here at D1 Performance, they look just like the photo 19c attached?:

This is a Grant GT I got from Advance Auto. IIRC I had to wait a couple days for the adapter to arrive at the store. Basically, this is the smallest steering wheel I could find. I think its about 12 or 13 inches. Install was easy.

i couldn't get your link or see the photo very well. what year talen/eclipse is it and i will search e-bay if the hubs/wheels are compatible with our starquest. That would open up more options i'm sure. i wouldn't mind spending a bit more money for a leather wheel as long as i'm not buying a $110.00 adapter and have to weld it on like for the new NRG quick release type (which is all i see offered it seems). The quick release is overkill for me...

good to know its an easy install, Grant has a large selection and their adaptor is cheap, like under $25.00 i think.

 

BTW, i see your missing the little maroon rectangle cap opposite side of the wiper cancel switch under the steering wheel (where your right knee goes). its been a PITA tracking that piece down for me...

that looks good, thanks for the photos everyone. For the adaptor, what years eclipse would that be, like 1990-1994 if i recall?

A lot of random panels were removed when I bought the car, but a lot of them are just in the back of the car. Its possible I still have that piece.

Yup 90-94....The quality of the MOMO is awesome..I used to have a Grant years back on my Z28 but after when panic stop I bent the tar out of that thing....

 

If you go Grant get the higher end ones or get Harrys MOMO....You will get a free autographed picture of Harry for your mantle...lol

1st gen talon wheel direct bolt in on a conquest! no adapter needed. cyber has one in his quest and it has manual stearing and the wheel makes it feel like power stearing. it is a bit smaller i believe. i just typed in talon stearing wheel on ebay and those were the first 2 pics that poped up!

hey Harry, doin well how are you buddy? i should have known the eclipse would have been a direct bolt on replacement. i have decided to go a bit higher and considered your momo. How about an even trade for my shitzu and the blue PCV valve to TB hose i won at nationals?...lol you know you need some more deep blue under the hood of that flatty......

 

well, i think i've decided to go with a two tone black and maroon NRG, since my vision is to mix black and maroon interior in my quest some day.. with everyones help, i decided to go with the Momo adapater for a 1g eclispe on this NRG wheel which looks compatible:

Well, as you can see from my post of my steering wheel, I have a maroon interior. If anything tickles your fancy let me know as I want everything maroon out of my car.

mine is burgandy too and if it wasn't such a pain, i would swap it all for black or even better tan if i could find it. However, i have two kids and no time so i will be just piecing some black into it starting with the door panel hand rests and see where it goes....

 

if you have the square piece we were talking about earlier, i will buy that off of you.
