carl0s Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 I bought myself the limited edition genuine supra carbon fibre steering wheel, and then realised that I had a tiptronic wheel, so couldn't use it. I eventually sold it to my mate and now that I'm going manual I want to kick myself PS: Good job mate, like it! Thanks. I like it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Sometimes I am just utterly gobsmacked. I thought I would be inundated with PMs asking to buy the same for £150. You guys will pay £125 for this: http://www.css-networks.com/wtfugly.jpg but not £150 for a smart modernising steering wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'd have one but I already have the nice looking facelift 3 spoke one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm a bit confused - the part fuel and water temp gauge - whats the difference from oem other than it has numbers on the water gauge - is it a TRD part? If so I want one - where;) All oem steering wheels are rotten, the TRD is nice, but too big, and not as modern looking as it could have been, nice try on this mod altough I'm not too keen on all the chamoi leather:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have a 94 and have a 3 Spoke steering wheel. Must have been an option? Its a non airbag type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 how can people like that 4 spoke wheel (which I have incidentally). It looks terrible and outdated. thats a big improvement over that 4 spoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 ... To be honest I still don't think this looks as good as the proper VVTi Supra one. The wheel is the same, but the VVTi airbag is a little different with an embossed Toyota emblem, and I think that looks better. Here's a pic: http://www.css-networks.com/steering-vvti.jpg You can order the VVTi airbag cover/wheel centre trim as a separate piece: Part number: 45130-14360-C0 "BUTTON ASSY, HORN" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 the last time I did it I ended up smacking myself in the face with the steering wheel Leave the nut on while you break the stiction on the spline next time....no chance of an injury then. BTW - nice job. I changed from the 4 spoke to a black TRD and would rate it as one of the best mods done to the car - honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I like it - looks good. Somebody nicked your stereo whilst you were sorting it all out though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 anyone know how to wire the horn in on one of these 4 spoke wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 the horn plug from the old wheel needs to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 yup av left that in but just dont know where to attach it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepool Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Personally, I love the retro feel to 4 spoke wheel. It compliments the rest of the retro dash perfectly (more so than the 3 spoke IMO) and is infitting with a 15ish yr old car. Saying that, I know where you're coming from and that 3 spoke wheel is pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 yup av left that in but just dont know where to attach it to erm, can't remember but I do remember it wasn't rocket science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 The part number for the airbag adapter harness is 09082-00760 I have had a couple of PMs of people asking. I thought I had already posted a photo of it on here but I can't find it. Part comes up on Toyota system as "special service tool", but it is the right part.

jihwaan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 what year celica was the wheel from? (or did i miss it in this thread?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 what year celica was the wheel from? (or did i miss it in this thread?) Can't remember. Most recent generation I think. Or MR2. You can tell just by looking at the steering wheel style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
