I love it!
I used to have a MOMO Race installed, and now that sits in the closet!

The R.E.A. steering wheel is 350mm (same like my MOMO Race), but it has an offset upward like the stock steering wheel.
Only tall folks would notice the difference, as it allows you to see the top of the tach and speedo!
My MOMO Race 350mm covered the top part of the instrument cluster and the two turn signal lamps...even with my 1.5" spacer. :(
I can now see the top of the instrument cluster even with the same diameter steering wheel, so it has to be offset.

You would think it's awkward turning with the assymetrical shape, but the "horns" (what a friend calls it) allows you to get more torque when turning (I have manual steering).
Initially, it's funky, but when you get used to it, you'll smile every time.

The only negative thing about these R.E.A. steering wheel is the aluminum frame is thinner.
My MOMO Race is significantly thicker, and I cannot bend it when I lean on it.
With the R.E.A. steering wheel, I can lean on it hard and it deflects a little - you can see it.
It's not like it's going to crack on you, but it's something most people won't tell you.

Yep, these blue ones are ^*#))^$ hard to find!
I'm surprised one popped up on YJA.
The green ones are more common (I've seen like 5 of them already - there's one on YJA right now) with the gaudy red ones next common (I've seen 3 already).
The one I won is basically NOS, as the guy claimed it was some display model that was never used for driving... :D

just curious about cool parts from Rx7s outside the U.S. then

MY Turbo II is Canadian, so i have the speedo with KPH outside, MPH inside, and Kg/Cm^3 oil pressure. The coin tray holds Canadian coinage and i have headlight squirters. I have never had that on an Rx7, nor have i ever SEEN it. Is it a normal option that no one bought? I also have his ventilation feature what bring large amounts of outside air into the cabin. Same feature my GSL-SE had, but i have yet to see it on another FC.

Yes, the headlight squirters are a Canadian standard feature, as well as the ventilation. I honestly thought all FC's had the Vent feature...It's one of the best features on the car.

Hey Kou,
You didn't happen to win that offa Rinkya did you? Cuz if you did I lost that auction to you. I need to start putting high bids on this stuff....Congratz tho...that is one of the hardest items to find.

use the United States Postal Service Flat Rate Boxes if your shipping from US to...basically where ever. Example, i shipped a 12a rotor to New Zealand and shipping was 37 dollars. Depending on the country, it usually 37 dollars up to 70 lbs and the box is about 12x9x7 ish

i 100% agree. im actually kinda sad that it is not a feature here. I love it! I have no idea where it takes air in from....

at least i live closer to Canada than i do southern parts of my state. That how i ended up with the Turbo II i have.
