New steering wheel
My wife bought me an OMP Corsica deep steering wheel for Christmas. It is nice to get stuff like this instead of ties. I ordered a Splash hub for it, but it had been backordered until now.
The Splash hub for reference: http://www.more-japan.com/splash-nor...1-non-srs.html
The quality of the hub is superb. I had seen references to Splash as Splash/Works Bell in a few places. They are simply rebranded Works Bell products for less money. The warranty information, stickers, and machining on the hub all have Works Bell on them. For $60, I'm quite happy with the product. I did have to run a ground wire for the horn. The OMP horn is a two wire design. I ran a wire with some terminals crimped on from the horn button to underneath the locknut for the steering wheel. Since the wire will move with the wheel, there is no concern for binding.
The car is dust laden as it really hasn't been driven more than a handful of times in the past couple years, but here are the pics.

The wheel is a 350mm model with 95mm offset from steering hub (http://http://www.vividracing.com/ca...l-p-64626.html). You can tell it is just a bit smaller than the stock wheel, but no gauges are blocked. The suede is grippy. The wheel being closer gives better leverage than reaching for a wheel in stock location as well as more leg/knee room. I'm 6 foot tall, so the drivers seat is always pretty far back before I'm comfortable.
