Looking for images of steering wheel covers, or aftermarket steering wheels, and how much and where you got them.

 

Here is an image from wheelskins, but I would like to see a few more.

 

Momo " race " wheel with removable hub. I think the cost for both items was around $ 400.

I like those black guages...

 

Autotecnica wheel, MOMO adapter.... its a work in progress...

Where's the kitchen sink?

Actually the sad part is that in all of that it's STILL hard to find a clock when you just need to know the time

How about a breakdown of what all the guages are? Looks very cool tho

 

I know it looks a little busy to some but they are all useful at various times

Starting lower left and proceeding clockwise.

Small blue screen is the controller for the Dension 40 gig hard drive mp3 player.

Small switch box on top of that is the controller for the M7 NOS system.

Pro mini oil pressure gage.

Hot Lap lap timer .

Mini Tach

Gtech Pro.

Mini Speedo.

Pro Mini boost gage.

PLX wideband Air Fuel gage.

And in the lower console water temp and amp meter.

How do you guys feel about that you just removed your airbag?

 

....like I felt for the first 20 years of driving my cars ..

 

Releived ! I dont mind wearing my harness .I had a Schroth in for 2 years before I put the five point in and wore it 95% of the time . I do the same with my G-force and when the harness isnt on the stock seat belt is. I will be forced to go with the 5 point all the time when my new seats arrive in a couple of weeks but I don't mind. Belting in gives me something to do while the car is warming up. I have always had this reacurring thought of the SW air bag going off and breaking my nose with my own hand. The Mini has a little problem with, shall we say, pre mature air bag deployment. I haven't seen a SW unit go off but so far 3 of the side apron have deployed for no apparent reason. Mini did all they could in each case to prove that there was impact of some type which there wasn't. BTW on the track I wear a full face helmet as well.

So does anyone use steering wheel covers? I generally think that they are a bit cheezy but am looking for something nice to spruce up my wheel.

 

The thought of getting my steeringwheel wrapped in alcantra has hit me.

 

Great material . It was one of the main reasons I switched out my wheel. Great grip , NO slip. Of course now that has FORCED me to have some seats made of the same stuff

I would love to see some pics of alcantra wraps on MINI wheels, I am considering the wheelskins but just dont know.

 

hey Minitor, i am thinking i can get it custom done with alcantara inserts in my leather

 

From where?

 

So true!

I want these gloves, I can really recommend driving with gloves, even if you're not on the track, it might look a bit weird but god damn it's so sweet I don't care if I look silly.

 

I wear my Thor MX gloved whenever i go driving!



This is me on a typical late night Dr Pepper run.

See the required helmet, gloves and pajama pants.

 

I tryed the wheelskin thing, But i didn't like the way it fit on the 10 oclock and 2 oclock positions on my 03 steering wheel.(humps) So i did a steering wheel exchange with those awesome people at www.myminiparts.com I went with black leather on the sides and White on top and bottom. I'll take pics soon. Pete will help you out at www.myminiparts.com

 

ahh yeah, i just realized, in my pic above, i have my Vinyl CF pattern cover on my stock wheel if you wanted to see that.

 

Cycleguru, yes, I would love pics.

Rick - where from and how much?

 

Haha, autozone, about 10 bucks.

Ive had that cover for longer than i can remember, its been on all of my cars since my first car.
