Like the title says - I have the steering wheel and the covers around the steering column off today until 6pm CST or so. If anyone needs pics of anything or a how-to on the install of a new steering wheel - now's the time to ask. I got my nifty new Sony Cybershot and need excuses to use it
BTW - Changing out for a Rav4 3 spoke with center peice that it's texture matches out interior - super nice courtesy of Zero This post has been edited by DEATH: Aug 19, 2008 - 4:04 PM -------------------- ![]() ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

how many boost gauges do you have ? LOL - I knew someone observant would notice. The Non-TRD boost gauge is D-Man's - I've just been using it to make sure I sell him a working gauge. The other two are staying tho. One is run to the compressor housing of the Turbo itself so I see what boost is hitting the wastegate actuator and also so, using the second boost gauge located at the back of the intake manifold, I can monitor the pressure drop across the IC and piping. Mainly I want to be able to do this because I have another larger IC that I want to try out but I wanna make sure that, in addition to lag, I see what, if any, differences there might be in overall boost pressure to the motor. You'll notice there are also two volts meters but the one on the left will be getting replaced with a EGT gauge when I get the money for that expensive ass gauge. BTW - Here are pics of my "old" steering wheel that I replaced and is now for sale. This wheel is about 1yo, bought new from Toyota and has absoluetely zero scratches, wear or fading on it: ![]() ![]() ![]() If you need a good wheel LMK - it is for sale here: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=61144&st=0 And I'll be making a How-To here in a few days that will show you how to change the wheel in 20mins with only two simple tools I want a 3 spoke wheel! You were already on my list of possible recepients The last thing I wanna say about that wheel is about my experience with it. You have no idea, until you change it, how much a little change like that can effect your driving experience [This probably isn't helping my for sale thread]. I drove around last night with the new wheel and it just felt so much better in my hands. That may be due, in part, to the fact that I drove around with this same style wheel for the last five years on my last 6gc. But it really did bring a smile to my face. I love the little grips it has above the two side posts and the little notch below that where you thunb just fits the groove perfectly. This one however makes a very ****ty pillow for while you wait for your girl to do her shopping - if you have that in you life, as I do often, this wheel is not for you. LOL.
