Strange question, but does anyone know if it is possible to buy a steering wheel that is designed along the lines of the Enzo's? I have been looking and while i am not expecting paddle shifts and all the dials, it would be cool to have something simmilar perhaps with the rev lights and shape for whatever new car i buy. I have seen a number of "f1" style but they are all based off some poor 1980's copy.

lol whys that? unlike most idiots who waste thousands on doing up the outside of their car, an area which they see little of while they are using it, i like the idea of doing up the interior which is where a driver spends most of their time.

I hate to say it, but I'm with Woody on this one.  lol

Hey as long as you can be cut out of the car without a problem, put whatever you want into it.

I'm with Woody on this one Craig, depending on what car you are going to put it in & whether or not it has any functional advantage.

You have to be very careful or people will laugh at it - it's the same principle as the people who spend thousands on bodykits & a roll cage & them dump it all on a 1.1 litre car - pointless: "Hey look!! It's Colin Mcrae..................no, wait............it's that kid in a 1.1 who lives with his mum & dad".

I'm not saying don't do it, just be careful about the car/wheel combination.

An example of how to get things wrong, & please note, this was at one time a nice car:


What a waste of time, money & effort. It's a Lotus, not a Ferrari - live with it.

Best way!!

I'd forgotten you were after a Neon & I haven't seen the stock Neon wheel, but if it's as bad as you say it is then by all means change it, just try to replace it with a wheel that suits the style of the car.

How's ya driving going Craig? I expect you've done your 1st 'solo' by now?

Cool, you'll find the 'Pass Plus' test really easy after the standard test, the reason being that there is no real pressure for you to pass - if you fail you can still keep driving anyway, so you won't be anywhere near as nervous taking the Pass Plus.

Good luck,

TSC.

Richie makes a very good point. These days the steering wheel is part of the car & usually contains the air bag among other controls. I haven't taken much notice of the interior of the Neon but manufacturers spend a lot of time & money researching these things before producing the car. Some are better than others (the Austin Allegro springs to mind) but the steering wheel is usually designed to match the specific model car & for easy access to things like the wiper & indicator levers. This includes the diameter of the wheel itself so a smaller one could make it more difficult to drive & even dangerous. I'm not convinced that changing a steering wheel simply for the sake of appearance is such a good idea. I would have thought you could find better things to spend your money on.
