Nick Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 That's low alright! Was it a hassle fitting the wheel? I've got a momo and snap-off boss sat in the house, just need to get round to fitting it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 he'll have to buy some wood then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a lot stiffer than before , absolutley NO body roll at all car feels very precise and i reckon the small MOMO wheel has given me maybe 50-60 hp more ! dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 Wheel not too bad to fit at all , 5 mins !! Dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I'll have to ask you to do mine then. I've read a few threads where people had to mess around quite a bit to get the thing to fit, put me off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I've heard people talking about suspension settling before, doesn't make any sense to me, I know mine didn't. Isn't the Tein electronically adjustable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 Toyota have a depot in i 'believe' Belgium , that they have to buy from , if you can buy direct fronm there its cheaper than going to toyota , all depends on how arsed you can be to save a few quid !!!!! dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 What's involved in buying direct from Toyota in Belgium then? Like you just ring them up and they send you stuff, or is there all the customs hoops to jump through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No customs its EEC !!!! never bothered myself as its hassel if you get the wrong bits , id rather be able to take em back to my local dealer .

Jake Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I suppose you just have to make really sure you order the right bits. If they send the wrong bits then it's their problem to sort out. I see what you're saying though. Just depends how much of a saving we're talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
