steering wheel
I am almost done with my 87rx7 drift car that I did a s5 turbo II swap in to and I was wondering what is the best steering wheel to go with for drifting. I have a old school momo steering wheel in my daily driver 85 GSL-SE Rx7 and I love it.

Comfort is number one.

Quality is also number one.

Smelling like sex is definitely number one.

You can go leather, suede, woodgrain, bubble plastic (hot ****, found on zilvia often in the f/s section because those guys change steering wheels and rims like people change underwear).......

dont get suede.... ony if you intend on running gloves the entire time you touch it...

they turn into the worst **** ever... my mazdaspeed wheel was suede and the oil/sweat from your hands deteriorates it over time... i peeled it all off after awhile it was so grosss.

nardi is expensive. vertex **** is dope. sparco is best for the cash i think, but i do like nardi.

whatever gets your hands away from the ******* turn signal/headlights switch.

nothing worse than counter steering and flipping the turn signals at the same time... except counter steering and breaking off the turn signal switch.

wheel should be away from everything, and closer to your body. wheels closer to your body, to an extent, reduce steering effort and fatigue.

Yep. Your arms need to be relaxed. Can't drive all gangster leaned with one hand on the wheel and one on the shifter vin diesel like.....

You can run a normal wheel. They make spacers that bolt in between your hub and wheel.
