The biggest problem I find with the stock wheel, is I cant heel and toe with the pedals, since the wheel gets in the way of my kness, thats with the recaro seat all the way down! Im 6ft. So the stock wheel has to go Im afraid. apart from that I hate that horrible big lump of plastic in the middle, that is supposed to be a horn.

Hey MJR, do you have the wheel as far up as it will go..?

That you must, i'm, 6'3" and i dont have a problem. But your legs could be longer.....

New seats are one of the best things you can do, the standard seats i was falling out of when going around corners, also after 21 years of people sitting in them, they were stuffed and they hurt my back after long drives.

But i suppose the wheel change would be a better(well cheaper) option.

Heres the pics you asked for Nick!

Seats sit on custom alloy runners, seats recline and slide back and fourth.

They are so much lighter than original seats.

And when you go thru corners like a bat out of hell, you dont move, and you realise you were never at your limit

They are some great looking seats. From what I've seen of your car it looks pretty good all over. Bung some more pics of the car on the Intro page...which reminds me, I should do the same after all the years I've been following this great site.

HI all, I have a 300mm Momo Team steering wheel in my 3.0L GTV6 with power steering, I have dropped the wheel to its lowest point and it doesnt touch my legs.

Hi GarthW, I find that having power steering on my GTV6 works really well, i have had GTV6's in the past and find them heavy at the best of times, especially when parking. The steering wheel does seem a little small at first but you soon get used to it. I like the Momo stuff, I also have Momo GT2 8x17'' wheels on her.
