The specs say it is 355mm vs stock 362mm so supposedly it is a slightly smaller diameter, will confirm with a measurement if I can. The wheel is noticeably thicker all around, and both the smooth and perforated portions of the leather have a light texture to them so it is nice and grippy. The flat bottom is great too.. my knees always hit the original steering wheel when I got in and this gives just enough clearance to prevent that now. Love everything about it other than the price |

Awesome, thank you. Look forward to seeing that. The price is pretty high, but it's something you use/enjoy every drive so I think it's worth it. I'm debating getting this versus having Sweidit recover my wheel. Leaning towards this though, for the exact reasons you mentioned. |

Removed my clutch spring last night, the feel is somehow even worse than before It's springier than it used to be, engages just as (or after?) your foot is off the pedal.
I'll be reinstalling it today. |

Installed a prototype CF Steering wheel for a customer! We forgot to push the horn all the way in for the picture, but it does fit perfectly!

It really completes the OEM+ look on the inside of my car. I have the SARD seat covers with red stitching and perforated leather, as well as the SuperKlasse shiftknob with perforated leather and red stitching. I also swapped out all the silver trim bits I could to black, as well as black door handles to get rid of the stock chrome (all purchased from FT86speedfactory). |

That's a good picture, I like the smaller outside diameter. Quote:
Any more information on this? Who is making it/ is there an all leather option/ custom stitching available? |

Installed JDL UEL header, Perrin overpipe, and Perrin front pipe with high flow cat. Nice result, and all went in pretty easy. Have yet to assess power/response, but it sounds good..........
JDL fabrication quality on the header was great. |
