Nice.. some of your pics ared redX'd though.

I'm doing this probably this weekend, got an HKB hub and a Momo Monte Carlo (circa 1994) wheel ready to go.

 

i know i need to stop using my phone for pix, but i always forget about using the camera.

is this your wheel?

if so, that looks like a nice strong wheel, and a nice minimal slick design, i like it..good choice.

...... NO that is definitily NOT his wheel.... notice how that is a MOMO wheel... ya thats not cheap, thanks though.... :clap:

 

Uhh, that was aux asking Ren69 if that was Ren's Momo wheel. aux is the original poster. thanks, though...

 

Frozentide... he was talking to me, and yes that's the newer Momo Monte Carlo model, mine is a 1994 Model (mint as hell) and actually looks better than the new models, mine has yellow stitching and thanks to CDUFF77 it's now complete with a JDM TRD button.

 

My bad... I was tired when I posted that.

 

Nice looking wheel. Looks like my Logitech Driving Force Pro for PS2

Pitty it is weak.

 

You're now sticky. :bukkake: :lol:

 

Hey Ren thats a nice old monte carlo you should just hang it on your wall so you don't wear it out I've been looking for the newer red stitched one for ever but can't find one anywhere.

 

Well.. it's not in the car yet, I should just get me something else and hang this one, could be a collectible item.

 

ok everyone.. DO NOT DO THIS, unless you have a good wheel and hub from a reliable company. THE HUB STRIPPED OUT AND ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE!!!! i am relacing it with my original one. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THOSE PIECES OF ABSOLUTE SHIT. it stripped so bad, that it was barely holding on and had developed lots of play. it got so bad, that the nut holding the hub on failed to secure it. I AM DEAD SERIOUS PLEASE IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE. that steering wheel is now a paperweight, and the hub is to be thrown away. unfortunately i cant get pics, just take my word for it, PLEASE!! im sorry i ever posted this in the first place. i sincerely hope nobody has had an accident due to these hubs.

 

ah, it feels so much bettr to have my original wheel back.

 

Thanks for the warning. Glad you are OK.

 

Yeah thanks for the warning, I was about to go for one of those. Good thing that you're ok.

Since the installing looked pretty easy I bought and installed one of these today. (not an Ebay one, its a Grant wheel that I picked up at a Pep Boys)

 

looks good. now that is a solid wheel. and i bet that hub was a bitch to get on, and if so, thats a good sign

 

hah yeah it was a bit. But after you pay shipping for an ebay one, this wheel cost just about the same.

Oh, if anybody does this, when you go to pull the actual wheel off, leave the big bolt on in the middle, lossen it, but leave it with a few threads on, I didn't and almost broke my nose when I finally popped the wheel off.

 

lol.. i had to "wobble" mine of of the shaft. when i went to put it back on, the splines 8 right through the cheap hub. it practically fell off. the only thing holding it on was the nut. pretty nutty.

 

After putting the wheel on, I've been paranoid of that happening, even though the hub fits really well.

Damn, I cant even imagine what happened to you. I had that happen with handle bars on a bike popping off, but in a car...

 

well one day it developed so much play so quickly that i had to turn around and come back home. when i got home i tested it and realized i could have been a dead mang. i dont think you have much to worry about, if you got a real one from like advance or something, not a cheap ebay hub. the chances of it stripping out on you like the handlebars are slim to none. ive had dreams of steering going out b4, driving an old rwd toyota like a celica or supra or something.. steering invokes paranioa in general

Are you sure the fit was right ? it sounds like the hole in the hub was too large for the steering shaft but just tight enough to hold for awhile, if the hub was aluminum it would'nt take long for the steel splines on the steering shaft to sheer the aluminum splines off.

 

hmm, i wonder if the GT-S wheel exist in blue.

 

what kind of blue.. dark navy interior blue? if so, then yes b/c mine has that awful dark-greyish really dark-blueish interior, instead of black/grey. its almost black/grey, but there are undertones of blue in it.

 

i'm saying like the blue interior in some of the AE92/95 sedan

 

GTS only came in Gray and red interior, no blue that I recall.

 

the GTS wheel looks like the same one in the SR5, and my SR5's interior is blue, so I would say yes, it does exsist in blue. :

 

mine sure has a blueish tint to it :barf:

 

I've had this old Izumi on so many vehicles I've lost count. it's a 14", you can't buy hubs for them anymore so with each vehicle I have to visit the bone yard to find another steering wheel to butcher the hub and have it welded up. I just pulled it off my old 84 Corolla and hoping it'll fit my 1990 Corolla.

 

Looks like your average 6-bolt Momo/Nardi style hub except the bolts are in a different position... you should look into that.

 

yea i think thats exactly what happened. they must have been loosely marketing the damn things for the ae92's without thorougly testing them for that specific application. pretty shitty.

btw pursang.. thats a F'n sweet wheel mang
