Keep an eye on E-Bay, or check with www.corksport.com. No on the airbag.

 

Check www.thepartstrader.com too. They pop up from time to time. Like jr said, no bag.

 

what is the diameter of the efini wheel?

 

I think the stock nardi wheel fits and it looks damn good.. some guy in the forum bought one and he had pics posted but i dunno where the links.. with air bag.. I was goign to buy it but I thought 400 was pricey...

 

heres a pic(J-Spec)

 

another(A-Spec)

 

Here is a shot of the Nardi Wheel, that has a air bag, installed
It's off of a 99 RX-7. The connectors didn't match up, but it's was easy to find a blown bag to get the proper connector from.

 

Here's another style that didn't use an airbag...

 

how much smaller is the efini wheel than the stock one?

 

what is that guage pod that's mounted on top of the steering column and where can i find it? thanks!

 

the efini wheel without the airbag is the same size as the stock fd us-spec one. it is really only a cosmetic upgrade, and sacrificing the airbag is a pretty big thing for something that typically goes unnoticed by the non-rx7 fanatic. but i have one and i am proud of it

i got it from jesse lau, he has a lot of jap stuff posted on thepartstrader.com all the time.

theres some cool **** right there under your nose, right when you might want it. too bad i dont have 4bills to spend on a steering wheel right now.

 

if you are talking about the one in sleddriver's car, it is either the re amemiya one or the pettit pod. both of them are pretty costly, and the holes for the us-spec turn signal and wiper ***** dont line up properly. it is the cleanest one out there, and probably the only one i would put in my car.

 

Also Jimmy'srx7 in the UK has the Efini wheel sometime's forsale I brought mine from him for $150.00, And the colum pod u can also get it from pettit racing.

 

So basically, the efini and the nardi are the same size as the us one? Darn...I still think I want the new nardi one off the 2002 spirit r. I drove an 02 miata special edition with the nardi wheel and MY GOD! Talk about awesome! That thing is so soft and so grippy. Plus the spirit r has red stiching...all i need is to find one (wont happen) and have lots of money! =] and an rx7 period forthat matter =]

 

I still wonder the Miata wheel will fit FD or not.

 

That's the steering column gauge pod. Its a plastic replacement for the top half of the column cover. You can find it at www.rx7store.net under the gauges-pods section. Its over $100 but it is a pretty trick mount.

 

The one I got (also from Jesse) is maybe an inch smaller in diameter than the stock US wheel. And since I use my car on the track, I don't want an airbag. A lighter wheel is easier to turn, and you don't want a blinding explosive balloon in your face at the wrong time...

If you get a replacement wheel, remember that you should check your sightline to the gauges. The wrong size and you will block your view.
