    Would like some opinions on which wheel to go for. I like the second one but I'm not sure whether it would look "correct" in a saxo









    cheers

    why OMP? Ive got a similar version to the bottom OMP one but from momo, in black and blue leather, looks and feels spot on! Suits the sax right down

    I'd say first one scott.

    the second looks like it might impede the view of the dash.

    neither will look "correct" in a saxo imo

    as said above... racing wheels are for racing cars

    but if i had to choose one of the two it'd be the first

    beg to differ to be honest

    what in your mind makes a car a racing car then? can a saxo not be a racing car?

    what makes a car a racing car? one thats used for racing!

    saxo's are pretty crap for safety as standard too i don't like the idea of losing my only air bag!

    all my opinion of course... i suppose a saxo could be made into a racing car... but the owner of this topic has a 1.1 i see.... ?

    car is used on track.. and I therefore need a decent wheel as the standard one is pap. Your airbag probably wouldn't work anyway, it's a saxo.

    What he said.

    For those interested in history, the "racing wheel" is not new, in fact in the 1970's a production car featured one.

    Rep to the first to find it.

    i prefer the looks of the seccond one but i wouldnt want to use it on track tbh or road actually now i think about it. if you were to loose your grip and went to grab the wheel again it may not be where you expect it to be and may lead to you crashing.

    Leather is all fair and well in a road car but the grip of a suede wheel is much better for racing

    As above, you know nothing about Scott or his car.

    It is a 1.1 which would arse fuck yours around a track. Scott wants a steering wheel for HIS saxo for when he is RACING it. Look at his thread and educate yourself

    Much, much more mundane than those.

    I'd hate to give you all aggro over this quiz though.

    First things first as far as i'm aware Scotts a fully grown lad who can fight his own corner if he needs to.

    Second... i wasn't having a go at Scott or his car... So he didn't even need to defend himself - nor did he need you to.

    Thirdly, both posts you just quoted me in i stated quite clearly in both that what i'd said was purely MY opinion. So while you highlight the uses "HE" has for "HIS" car.... remember "I" am allowed "MY" opinion.

    I'm not going to go researching the guys car just because i don't like the idea of putting a racing wheel in a saxo. If he's purely intending the car for race use then fine! I was actually referring to Saxo's in general - i can safely say 90% aren't "track" cars and therefore putting a racing wheel in is something which i'm not keen on! Thats me who's not keen on it, not anyone else!

    And as for "arse fucking" mine round a track... I actually cringed when i read that! Do you think i'm interested whether my car would "arse fuck" anyone elses car round a track? I'll also point out you don't actually know if i've done anything to my car so how can you actually say anything? I have plenty of plans for my car in the near future... but thats not the point...

    I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here tbh ... my first post was simply agreeing with what someone else had put regarding racing wheels in saxo's in general... No need to start taking offence at all.
