I have a MOMO mod 78 350mm suede steering wheel with about 28 hours of racing on it (24 hours of Nelsons + practice day).

 

It would be nice if we had a larger steering wheel (no power steering on our car).

 

Who has a decent brand, decent condition larger steering wheel?  

 

Or, who wants to buy this Mod 78 outright and I will buy a new wheel.  

 

I will get pics, but here is the link to where and how I bought this one....

okay, Im impatient.  I bought a new wheel already.

 

What is a slightly used Momo Mod 78 worth?  paid about 225$  3 months ago (1 race).  

 

Im thinking it is worth about $150 (+ shipping).  Any less than that and I will keep it for some other project.

 

Lemme know if anybody is interested.

 

It is a race winning steering wheel too!  100% victory!  (1 for 1)

Thats a great wheel for a $150, surprised it didnt work out for you, which car was yours at Nelsons? ( we finished 7th in the Shock em 944)

GMS racing.  Car 556, the red RX7 with the minivan engine swap.

 

Oh, the wheel works!  I am going after those fine small minutae that make overall stint times faster through making the driver more comfortable.  We have spent a lot of time the last 2 years going after rattles, heat, driver air, cooling the driver, etc...  This was one suggestion and it made sense to me.

 

It will be difficult to see how much this small change impacts our overall pace, but if it doesnt cause some other issue, I am sure that we will be faster because of it.
