Aftermarket steering wheel?

[Charlie1717]

I love my Momo, it is the perfect size, comfortable, and very sturdy.

He really did... (or else I would definitely not have this one :p)

This wheel on the bay is also very nice.

You will have to buy some nice seats to go with it.

That MOMO looks expensive!

For whatever reason I just can't like a flat wheel. Just doesn't look right to me. And I'm torn between these two seats to go with the wheel, when I have the money. I like the one piece bottom of the all black one and the more sedate back of the black and red one. Grr.

$127 with free shipping makes me worry about the actual safety of that last seat. I would rather sit in the seats first before buying, to make sure they were road trip worthy.

^Seems to be a typical price point for them on eBay. When you tear down (or burn) stock seats say from a Festiva/Neon/Etc., you (or at least I) worry much less about build quality of cheap seats. Just my opinion of course.

I love the stock Festiva steering wheel. It's got to be one of the most ergonomic stock wheels I've ever held, even has thumb rests in the proper positions (not that my hands are ever in the correct position). Why anyone would get rid of one of the best wheels Mazda ever designed is beyond me, but it would have to be a very nice wheel. I have a couple MOMO wheels, an OMP and a Sparco and wouldn't put them on my automatic festiva. I do like the cheap vinyl laced on cover that was installed onto two of my cars by P.O. (one is black and one is grey, but they are the same thing, and from 2 different people, lol). It gives a nice soft grip, helps to reduce fatigue. I do get made fun of a lot for my cheap wheel wrap thingy, but I don't care. I like it. Some day I will probably have the wheel wrapped with a nice suede cover with a red stripe at TDC, but I have more important things to modify first. I love to see all the different mods that everyone does to their cars, but If your going to throw a perfectly good stock wheel out because you think nobody would want it, send it to me. I'll pay shipping. I'd put a Festiva wheel on an RX7 before doing the opposite. Lol.

Here you can see the cheap laced on wheel cover. Talk about trick! can you even buy these things anymore? This is the secret trick to chasing down Ferraris on the race track right here! :p

^Charlies seats cost more than his car...lol

jk nice seats

Everytime I put on a different wheel and used an adapter on every vehicle it made the driving worse, they never feel right orsecure. I can't say how much better or eorse it is when you find oem stuff that splines right

Thanks! New they would have been, lol. I scrounged them up from a buddy when they were no longer acceptable for his Porsche. I wouldn't buy a set of these new though. BRIDE, Sparco or recaro are much more comfortable. Luckily for me the previous owners wife made custom cushions that are very comfortable ( but they are red vinyl, so they don't really match my car, but who cares!)

I agree with all that. Mine is for replacing the fat pneumatic face smasher equipped wheel in my Escort, which I hate passionately. The wheel not the car.

I put an RX7 wheel in my 323 and am probably going to yank it for a spare Festy one.

Truck stop to the rescue again! Truckers still use 'em. You'll have to cut it to size, but it is a source.

I am so used to holding a thick steering wheel (International) that the Festiva wheel feels puny in my hands. That's why I put the Challenger in my car. Cool, and a grip I'm used to.

Oh man keep me out of truckers toy store. Everything is led now, and then you have the diamond plate and even carbon fiber. Oh yeah 12v margarita blenders too
