Default Type V parts?

I am just curious if anyone on here has had a chance to test drive a type-v and if they think it would be worth it to look into a conversion.

Also I was curious where you would go to get the parts, even simple ones like the steering wheel?

I think the type-v has variable steering ratios doesn't it?

"cooler" is a matter of opinion. I think it looks rediculous...

I have no idea why anyone would want to do this conversion.

the differences are the steering wheel, the badges and a VGS system that most people don't like

I had a buddy of mine that went to Japan last month search for a Type V wheel. No luck whatsoever...

There was someone at Tokyo Auto Salon selling these. I don't have my Option magazine on me, but they were in Option.
