hey guys,

here is a picture of my fb with some new wood and interior pieces. anyone else have any wood?

 

Very nice!

The shifter looks a bit long to me, but the idea is great. Love the wheel. I'm a wood worker and had been considering 'upgrading' some of my more deteriorated trim pieces with some wooden accents.

I could make a shifter. Steering wheel would be a bit tougher. Are these your creations?

Looks great!

 

I love the nardi wheel! i think im going to be buying one soon but i think im going with this one.

 

Hell yeah wood trim.



and I just did this:


as well as a matching switch panel for the old radio and hvac surround.

 

defi super sport cluster!

Omg!

 

yes the shift **** was my creation. a friend has a lathe so we gave it a shot. i made an aluminum threaded insert so the **** has some stiffness and strength. the steering wheel is not my work. it is a nardi classic wood steering wheel. they are hand made in italy.

 

Indeed. And in a LHD car too.

The steering wheel looks great!! The shifter looks out of place... I do like the Crown Royal Bag for a shifter bootie!!!

 

I envy your Nardi wheel very much, good sir.

 

Been thinking about breaking out the router and trying to replicate the stock stereo & shift surround in hardwood.

 

we made a shifter like that once in aluminum, it may look weird, but it does put the **** right next to the wheel

Oh and my steering wheel is a genuine momo

 

The nardi is just pure sex. I have to have one. How is the diameter compared to stock? I would hope a bit smaller? The stock one always interferes with my legs.

I've been wanting to see what an FB interior would look like with a nardi wheel for my wood panel cargo-area idea (some of you might remember...no I haven't forgotten ha)

 

The diameter on my wheel is around a 1/2" smaller than the stock. my wheel is 365mm but if you have a problem with your legs hitting then just look for a 330mm wheel. it should clear fine.

 

what adapter are you running on the nardi wheel?

 

I am curious about the adapter as well.

 

Nardi 350mm Deep Corn Woodie

NRG Short Hub

Ebay Nardi/momo Adapter/spacer 10mm

Installed it a few weeks back and loving it.

 

Momo Super Indy, made in 85 just like my 7. Miata wood e-brake handle and lighter. I was looking at a Nardi shifter but stuck with this one for now. Figured the wood trim with the black/brown interior looked good.

 

RX-8 seats, looks good!

I'm thinking of going with a Grant for a while, until I can afford a nicer wood wheel. I think they're period correct for the first gens and look good!
