hey guys, does anyone know where i can buy a momo steering wheel like the ones on the gpx??? I have a lancer mr mivec and am pretty sure the gpx wheel is the same as the evos/gsrs???, so it should fit....or would i need to get a different hub as well? cheers

Hostile performance don't have Momo but they do have a good selection.

Ebay usually has a lot of momo steering wheels listed too.

Dunno about fitment, but the guys in Funky Stylng or Hostile Performance should be able to answer that straight off.

I drive a GPX... didn't know I had a momo wheel...just looks bog-standard non-fancy to me...

The facelift version had a momo wheel IIRC but the pre-facelift didn't.

You are both correct. The GR sports pack came with the momo wheel, once facelifted this became standard supply on all cars.

Do you know whether it was a factory option or was that put on later? I thought they were only available on the facelift model.

BAH - I want a momo wheel now... Before reading this I was happy out with the run-of-the-mill mitsi wheel...

Maybe I can pick one up 2nd hand...

Personally, I think they're a bit bulky for the FTO, the same wheel was used in some of the Pajaros and Shoguns.

They're popular enough for people to replace the bog standard FTO wheel... ebay is probably your best bet I reckon, unless you put a wanted ad on ftooc or something like that.

Website · by **Muad_dib77** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 5:04 pm

Might try and see if I can pick one up from the scrapper crowd I know in the UK...Will be ordering a few parts from them anyways...

Just one thing, and I could be wrong here, but was that momo wheel an airbag wheel? Apparently you have to work something out to use the horn 'cos it doesn't clip on the same as the non-airbag horn? Might be worth checking out...

Hmm... does anybody have any pictures knocking about?

Here you go, this is actually Deans steering wheel.

Aaaah

Wasn't the type I was thinking of.. was thinking of a sportier thing..(with no airbag ;-)

) Have seen a couple of them go on eBay..

Thanks tho :-)
