Mildman Member 149 Member For: 19y 6m 5d Posted 16/02/06 10:20 PM Share Posted 16/02/06 10:20 PM Is there any special installation required due to the airbag unit? Or is it just another connector that needs to be plugged in?

Guest FatBAt Guests Posted 17/02/06 03:40 AM Share Posted 17/02/06 03:40 AM Scored a SPORTS wheel on EBAY for $450 + $50 (roughly) to install.See picFPV Wheel: Only real difference is a little disc with "FPV" on it in the bottom LH corner, big deal.....lol.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>They are thicker and have a far better feel in yer hand. Albeit, a far worse feel in yer back pocket.Whats the price as an option? $950?? A lot of money considering that is the exchange rate.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23390-xr-sports-steering-wheel/page/2/#findComment-349812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape and the thickness is the same. They are all thicker that the standard one.

HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 6m 12d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 17/02/06 09:02 AM Share Posted 17/02/06 09:02 AM I find the grip is perfect and you don't find you are gripping it too far up the wheel. Instead, your hands are dead centre each side, really does feel a hell of a lot better then the standard (or momo) leather wheel. I'm glad I got it installed.

MacVibe Member 8 Member For: 20y 5m 13d Posted 17/02/06 10:39 AM Author Share Posted 17/02/06 10:39 AM I went into another dealer today as I am looking at getting a Focus for the better half (trying to convince her that a 6-speed manual turbo Focus will get her to mothers group in a lot more style....not looking good) and asked the sales guy if I buy a Focus form him, can he get me a XR Sports Wheel. He gave me nothing!!! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23390-xr-sports-steering-wheel/page/2/#findComment-349946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
