Here are some pics from my initial install:

I got tired of how far the quick release moved the steering wheel from the signal stalk. Not an issue if you are racing, sort of an issue if you drive the car on the street. I am using a 1" adapter from Crowders Racing with a 350mm Sparco Strada and am very happy with it. Nice factory appearance as well.
Do you have the part #'s for the adapter and the wheel? That looks great and I'd like to do that in my '94.

Thanks!

So you need both the 30mm spacer and the hub adapter?

Thanks!

You'll either need the spacer, quick release, or a steering wheel with a "deep dish". If not, your knuckles will be hitting the turn signal stalk.

I have a 93 and was able to use the same instructions. I actually just replaced mine 2 days ago, but ordered the wrong resistor to delete the airbag. I ordered a 2K watt instead of a 2 W (DUH). I wouldn't go any smaller than a 330MM. For me the aftermarket wheel makes it easier to get in and out of the car. I also have more leg room as I like to sit closer to the steering wheel. In my case I wasn't worried about the airbag because I have a five point harness.

That looks awesome.

Looks like Ike a fighter jet cockpit. I like it.

Hey Jeff, I know this is an old post but did you end up choosing this wheel?
if so do you have the P/N for the adapter?
Also, does the telescoping feature still work?

thanks,
Mark

2023 C4 of the Year Finalist- Modified

Default After market steering wheel

After removing my stock 1990 steering wheel i installed this Sparco wheel 350mm.

After installing the Sparco steering and using it for a few years i designed my own wheel. A company with a water jet cut this shape for me out of 1/4 aluminum , the handles i made out of knife handle wood and hand shaped them. The two red
buttons are for the horn (wires are hidden on the back side inside the wood. The green button is for the transmission brake.
the wheel is also 350mm I drag race this car when i can ,it works find for driving on the street as well . Time driving is about 85 % street and 15% drag strip. Best pass 11.54 @ 120.xx mph 60ft time of 1.61 ,of course this was when it was 65 deg and very good air at Orlando Speed World.
1990 white/black #2546 137xxx miles
one of a few auto eq. 4l8OE ZR-1's
