Title: 99 Spec steering wheel
Post by: Ada7 on March 24, 2009, 11:31:14 PM
Just gauging interst on this.
I\'ve got the standard steering wheel from off my car. It a Nardi airbag one in good condition.
I not sure if i want to sell it just in case i have to sell the car and the next owner wants it back on but i was wondering what people think it could be worth (if anything) if i did sell it??

Also got the standard gear knob. Leather with a plastic top. Is a bit worn but other wise ok. Again what do you guys think its worth?

Not sure on price mate. They are rare. Best place to sell would be Ebay usa and Rx7club.com

Sell it to someone in the US and rake in the pennies :)

If it\'s one of the spirit ones with the red stitching you could probably buy yourself a new car with the proceeds.

Like i said i\'m just looking to find out how much they are worth at the moment. Dont want to sell that at a price then find out later that they are worth a lot more.... if that makes sense :)

Keys steering wheels look cheap IMO too loud with the silly writing on it lol.
He should have bought an aftermarket Nardi wheel

I can tell you. I order it for my JDM 99 Rx7 and also the shif knob from Japan.
 
I get the car with the Momo steering wheel (the crazy japan guy, some kind a fetish) and some different shift knob. So I have a wish to put it back to a stock spec (it is so beautiful).
 
The steering wheel with an air bag was around £350 and the shift knob for around £140. All bought in Japan on an auction. And it is original for RX7.
 
I know that the same steering wheel has Mazda Miata or Mx-5 from 1999 on in some models, but if you would like to use that steering wheel on Rx7, you must adapt the wheel hub (drilled some extra holes).
 
I go with original one.
 
I will post some pictures of my car later.

Hi ACCR.
I\'m i right in thinking that was a new steering wheel or an auction for a secondhand one?

I just bought one off eBay from japan for £300.its an original with the mazda wings badge.
Title: 99 Spec steering wheel
Post by: ACCR on March 30, 2009, 10:22:05 AM
That was an auction for secondhand one... but in realy good condition (almost like new). The price is a little bit high because of the fees in Japan. There are also some steering wheels that are cheaper for instance £150, but the japan guy who went to an auction, he didnt trust the seller (it wasnt secure). So you know.

Well if someone wants to offer me £300 i\'ll throw in the gear knob for free :D
