Ebay splurge...

Got me a "jdm" steering wheel and hub adapter for $29.99 shipped. Adapter is for an 86-91, 93-97 RX7. haven't installed yet but I assume it's the right one. =-O Has a good feel to it I think. 12 1/2" in diameter.

Red stitching to match my red sport interior I hope to someday have.

Well that's sure looking good. I like that steering wheel. Is the material meant to edge over the metal like that?

[crazyrog17]

Looks good, dude! I like those cartridge fuses ;D

[xaero_81]

Is the material meant to edge over the metal like that?

For $30, yes. But it feels really nice.

Thanks for the fuses Zack!

Oops...

Oops?

[eurotiva]

I have the same wheel. Make sure that it is straight when you turn it. I mean that it keeps an equal distance from the wiper stalk. I had to tweak mine some.

[xaero_81]

An Update! Still coming along slow and steady. Had a delay due to preparations for my Green 92 to make it safely to Ohiostiva.

Green car received a fully rebuilt aspire swap (with lame steelies and hub caps for now), my custom grill, hatch cover, hatch light with latch (no blue wire in L hatch ), intermittent wiper switch, and new red tape to cover hole where an antenna should be!





Still need to:
Bumper Restore
Paint under headlight area to match grill
Paint and install spoiler
Install split fold backseat

Blue 93

Installed Camber bolts

Will likely start removing Aspire B3 next weekend as long as time permits. Going on vacation to Tennessee for a week starting on the 12th so I'd like to get that out.

[xaero_81]

Got the b3 pulled today and cleaned up the bay. Only took 2 hours by myself. Got a plan for my mounts, just have to find time at work to weld them up.









Motor may be for sale pending whether or not Crazyrog17 needs it. Trans will be a backup for green car.

Hey - see if you can make a double set of mounts when you make them. I'll work on mass producing them.

Really diggin' the blue lol

[xaero_81]

I'd like to at least make a jig for the appropriate mounting locations. I would have a hard time making two separate sets because I'd need two sets of each mount.
