so does anyone have any options for a new steering wheel
in the BA other then a Nardi ?
mind you i will need one with an airbag cause of regulations :/

Any of the later Mazda wheels will fit - 323F BJ, Mazda 6, RX8, MX5 etc

but they need some modifications do they ? they wond just fit as they are do they ? and airbag . some mx5 , rx8 wheel would be nice surely

Wheels will bolt straight on, you might need to drill the back for the self cancelling indicator squib (will be obvious once you're comparing the backs of the steering wheels) but that's it. Airbag wiring will need to becut and spliced in, and your steering wheel buttons won't work but that's it

so there is no way to make those buttons do some functions ? just connect them to something in your car

Nope, you won't have the wiring in the steering column I'm afraid!

ah sweet,then there are alot of options !
i want a thicker and smaller wheel,since the standard BA
one just feels rubbish

if yu put new leather on it its wunderschön

its still to thin and big in my opinion,i like something smaller for fast driving

i think mx5 and rx8 wheels same size , at least they look like it. fast driving you say . for me car is nimble enough thou ..more then other similar cars out there.

clipped a few good ones so far...
Audi S3/ Wrx Turbo / 200sx S14 / Megane RS
and thats with only 160 bhp...cant wait to get 210+ with some more
Torque aswell (only took out those on the twisty roads,all hail BA handling )

still its just FWD car. RWD and some power would be different story to drive and feel. mx5/rx8 would be something

my brother drives a RX7 and he says he cant shake me in the corners...the BA is light and with some good chassi mods and sticky tires its one of the more enjoyable cars ive owned.
(taken price and age into consideration)

and what chassi mods you have in mind ?

coilovers,strutbraces front and back,ultra racing stiffners under all add up to some impressive results mind you i use R888 tires,those alone are a major upgrade in grip

so can you brake your neck with this all grip in corners ?

biggest problem now is remaining in the drivers seat really lol

Buy some sport seats..

i did buy some OMP ARS-R bucket seats,and they were great except for one thing...getting them to fit properly without cutting and Welding the floor is impossible.
we tried for over a month to get a valid option for getting them to fit well,but no og sadly :/
even contacted some company`s regarding floor Mounts but none are made yet,only for Miata/Rx7-8 etc.

I have an RX7 F3DS wheel, airbag and leather, little bit smaller, plug and play, working on getting the cruise control buttons to work, probably with a hybrid Xedos 6/FX7 system

got myself a Nardi wheel wich was in superb condition !
and that will do just fine
