I can't believe it took me this long!
My 997 came with the ridiculously big and ugly (no offense for the ones that like them) triangular steering wheel. I felt that I was driving this 1970's 4x4 truck. Big and skinny... that part that bothered me the most was the size of the airbag, so, redoing the original steering wheel was out of the question. The easiest step up was to buy a round steering wheel (from the 997.1) and a new round airbag too. If I was this deep in the game, why not change the whole thing for the flat bottom, all black 997.2 steering wheel? I was lucky a friend that just got a 2012 Cayman R destined for race, was more than willing to sell me his steering setup once he took delivery of his car... that day was today. Installation took all its 10 minutes and mostly because of the battery disconnect, the rest went pretty easy. The results are like a new car. After testing the 991 on the track this past thursday, I really liked the feel of the steering wheel... well, this steering wheel is exactly the same (sans the pdk) of the red car I was driving... Love the leather padded, the quality of the leather, the flat bottom and the thumb rest. For some odd reason, my horn works. I didn't get the control module either. |
