Re: Steering wheel help needed.
it looks to be slightly different to a genuine coupe steering wheel. my coupe wheel has a simailar round black center with a horse logo on it. the black center just comes off by gently pulling on it from the edges.

Re: turbo carb setup?

As i have a relativly small turbo, i have to have large jets to keep the a/f ratio right as it comes on boost at about 1200rpm. i think i have 90 primary jets and 220 secondary jets, dont quote me on those but i just ...
