unfortunately the turbo is going to have to wait a while. first i need a manifold, a short shift and gear knob, a steering wheel and reclining buckets, new discs and pads on the front, a welded diff and some wheels...

Hope it didn't cost more than a Z3 linkage? Transforms gearchange too!

I'll probably get mine through demon tweeks, they're supposed to come within 17 days

depends if momo has them on the shelf in italy. no-one in the uk actually seems to stock them.
when i ordered mine momo had no stock so i had to wait.

top tip when buying a steering wheel on ebay is to buy one with a sort after boss for a different car. my italiovanti wheel cost about £35 on ebay with a mk2 golf boss. i then listed the unwanted boss back on ebay which sold for £28 as i remember. = 1 nice steering wheel for £8!

haha i'll keep that in mind if i ever buy another one in the future. i cant afford the boss at the moment, and i won't be able to fit it until xmas when i'm back from uni anyway, so i'll just order it nearer the time.
