Hi All,

I've just seen the v-spec steering wheel image
http://www.honda.co.jp/ACCESS/automobiles/...mage/cokpit.jpg

Anyone know if we can get these to fit our 2000's (or 2001? how do I tell the diff?) and where infact we can get them?

Thanks in advance

// Carl Jones

I think it'd look really out of place on a regular S2000, because the bottom of the wheel has the VGS logo...

It would look strange in my opinion.

I'd be more interested in the silver dash pieces. The aftermarket kits tend to look rather crappy

That is a eventual upgrade for my car! I am tall and hat how low the steering wheel is to my legs. Plus it would give me a nice place to put my hands. I love the 3 spoke wheel but hate I cant put my hand in the middle to steer with.

Only thing I have run into is the cost(dunno how much) and putting our cruse control buttons on the side of the wheel. I not sure how thats gonna work out!

The V spec wheel only makes sense for the V spec car because the steering ratio is so much faster it seldom turns the wheel all the way over. It probably would be awkward on one of our cars (and unattractive IMO) with almost double the turns lock to lock.

Where can I get a steering wheel like the one on the Knight Rider series? I bet that would look cooler than the V-Spec one.

I know this isn't about the 4WS, but.

I must ask what this really will do for the S?

Sure it's 4WS. But it just adds weight.

And if I recall that I read Honda screwed up 4WS on the Prelude.

I dunno maybe, I'll just have to try it out when I get a PS2 and play GT3 A-Spec!
