Installing Momo Millenium...
 
Hi !

Just wanted to know if there is something I should be careful about when taking off the stock steering wheel and installing the 320mm Momo Millenium which I got yesterday.

Any ideas on how/where to reposition the cruise control ? I've seen some pics of it installed on the aftermarket wheel, but it looked like ass and taking up too much space on a smaller steering wheel.

Ideas, warnings, suggestions ?

Thanks !

Damn... that was a biatch to install. Well, not really hard, but took me longer then I expected. Getting the airbag out was the easiest part, but then I had to remove that clock spring and cruise control as I got the Momo hub (didnt know about mazdaspeed one until today). And I wanted to keep the horn, so I had to route a line from under the dash into the wheel and make it non-visible :) All in all, it took me about 3.5hrs. It looks badass :D I love it.
Fuel and oil pressure gauge sight is now obscured, also above 120kmh and tacho are hard to read... but what the hell... I can now MOVE my legs underneath the wheel and heel-toeing is now possible (i use sidestepping and couldnt do it on stock steering wheel). I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Cruiser...are mazdaspeed hubs available where you are?? Cuz they aren't in the US...

I think they are out of production. There isnt much performance shops for RX7 in Europe. The only ones I heard about are in Greece. I'll ask my Greece friends. I gotta get that MS hub...

I hate the airbag light blinking. There is a way to avoid it with some resistor or something, right ?

Here's the pic of it installed:

From what I heard...the MS hub has a cpl features...
-airbag light won't come on
-turn signals will be reset when the steering wheel is returned to the correct position
-horn is plug 'n play

as for the airbag light, wut most guys here do (as far as i know) is just pull the fuse/bulb for the airbag light...

the only serious drawback i see in that is that light will never work now...even in the case of a malfunction of the passenger air bag, which is of great concern to me, since my passenger is my responsibility...

Hmm... I think my '93 FD came without pass airbag. I think it was introduced in '94 or something. And I rather have that as the blinking light at the tacho.

Yes, I read abou MS hub... it rocks.

Btw. my turn signals are reset with this hub also (but not every time - I need to turn the wheel enough I think to initiate it).
