TPLGT Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So I am going to take the plunge and buy a Spec B. Steering wheel...I suppose I will unload my 06 wheel...is the 06 a Momo or not? I know the 05 is and says so on it but the 06 does not....Given this, I assume the demand for this wheel will be less? Any thoughts? Thx. Rehab is for quitters.

NewLegGT67 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I was looking at the Spec B steering wheel as well. Are you getting this from TheKingofParts? I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedoutv6 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 my 06 wheel says momo at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZinFreak Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 What does it matter if it is Momo or not. I think it is, but who cares. It is a LegacyGT steering wheel that will sell for $135 to $150 on this board. You should also try selling on subaruforester.org as well. The LegacyGT steering wheel drops in nice on on 06/07 Foresters, the airbags match. -Zin 06 LGT LTD GRP 5MT 07 FXT LTD OBP 4EAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 05s have a 'patter' on the top of the wheel..makes it look really cool. I am buying the the wheel from the KOP. Cheapest around...and he's a good marketer. Rehab is for quitters.

kevinh Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Is it the same diameter? I would like a smaller wheel. KevinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vet Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think the 06's came with the Momo stamped wheel on the AT models but not on the MT models or something weird like that. I'd guess that if it nolonger is stamped with Momo then it probably isn't made by them. I have an 05 Momo wheel that's been for sale for a while with no interest yet, fwiw. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antny Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 My stock wheel didnt have momo stamped on it. I sold it when I got my STI steering wheel. I got way more then 150 for mine but I sold my airbag also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLegGT67 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 My stock wheel didnt have momo stamped on it. I sold it when I got my STI steering wheel. I got way more then 150 for mine but I sold my airbag also I was about to open a thread about a STI steering wheel for the Legacy. I would love to get a Spec B steering wheel because of the radio controls. However, after going to the dealer and looking at the steering wheel in the STI, I would much rather have the STI steering wheel. This is the steering wheel the car should have out of the factory. Is this a staight swap for the Legacy? I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinh Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 How hard was the swap? Is the diameter the same as a LGT wheel? KevinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antny Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Swap is easy. yes exact same diameter as the lgt. Now the 04 sti wheel is suppose to be a tad bit smaller but not confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el5y Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 hmm..the STi wheel doesn't look much different than the stock LGT wheel...as far as I can remember...I sold my lgt wheel for $150 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antny Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The STi wheel only differnce is the red stitching and airbag. There could be more difference but not 100% and saying their is more differences would just be a uess and not a fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewLegGT67 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a237/antny04wrx/DSC_0030-2.jpg there is my swap Maybe this is the same STI steering wheel but I think the one I saw at the dealership from the STI was much thicker. The one I saw could have been from a '07 STI. It is probably the same one. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.

antny Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 07 wheels are identical to the one I have. My roomate has a 07 and my other roomate has an 05 STi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLegGT67 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 07 wheels are identical to the one I have. My roomate has a 07 and my other roomate has an 05 STi You are right. For some reason the STI steering wheel looked thicker than the LGT steering wheel. (see post # 9) Anyway, if you are going to upgrade the steering wheel the Spec B with the radio control would make more sense then just the Momo steering - IMO. I still wish the steering wheel was a little thicker (think M5) with the flat bottom. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.

el5y Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I am buying my wheel from the KOP...$279...less $150 for my wheel...$129 how id you do so weel? The guy from Phoenix Performance bought 2, 2007 Spec Bs and stripped them for race cars. Sold almost the entire interior of the cars I would have bought the seats (which I really like) but my car has the Tan/Black interior. At anyrate he sold the Spec B steering wheels for around $150 each, I had a friend that worked up in West Chester, PA who picked it up for me and brought it down the next time he came. I bought him dinner for it Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I remeber when he put that car in the for sale forum....You must have been the first person to get back to him b/c those are highly sought after! Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
