head over to the RX-8 forums and see if anyone on there has had one off yet.
They might be able to tell you the O.D. of thier steering shaft and the spline count.....but even if it fits the steering shaft, it may be too deep/not deep enough to fit the steering column trim properly.

^the size of the stock steering wheels are too big imo.... but im 6' tall so my that might be the reason why my legs always hit the steering wheel... im gonna go with sparco or nardi or momo... probably momo cuz they have some real niice leather wrapped wheels

It's tempting, but I don't want it to fall apart a week after getting it... although I've had pretty good luck buying cheap stuff from eBay.

pfff, you don't even need a puller really, just leave the nut on a few turns and reef the bitch off.
You only need the wheel and the hub adapter, thats it.
Nah, I'd rather take the 180 dollars I save and put it toward gas....

I did look at the Momo wheels and don't feel that it's worth spending the money, I own a FC, not a FD. If I drove it daily and was more serious about competition driving I'd consider it, but for now I think the $50 option will work best for me.When you purchased the wheel did it include the hub adaptor as well (from reading the description it looks like it does?) I did some quick reading and it seems I need to get one specifically made for the FC because of the blinker and power steering position sensor.

Well I bought mine from a local speed shop and got the removable hub insert also. But by the looks of the ebay one, it comes with the hub. But contact the seller just to be sure.
As long as you use just the hub and wheel, your distance from the turn signal switch will be the same as the factory. When I put my removable hub adaptor in, it moved it back about an 3/4 of an inch which took a few days to adjust to.
