[dangerdaz]

Ive spoken to them and they can get anything from Japan. Just not listed on the rigid site yet.
Ive been told il be emailed with prices inc full breakdown of shipping etc today.
They also said the more we order, the more discount we get.
I said it will all be price dependant.

So as not to clog up Masa's thread ive made a seperate thread in suspension section ref rigid collars.

Ok, variations of the collars are increasing day by day and for clio front section has become recently available.
For rear section, My clio is the first one and they got dementions from mine.
You can get both for front and rear now. I think collars for rear work more to reduce pulling to the left.

As SarGara said, its the best way to re-align all wheels at some professional shop to solve the "pulling to the left" problem,
but also I think regid collars are easy way to do and its effect continues while they stay between subframes and body.

Masa, could you tell me the dimensions of the collars if possible?

Total diameter and diameter of the hole for the bolt if you can.

I cant and dont want to tell the dimensions.Two reasons.
One is I dont want to get them off my clio.
The other is thats illegal or supposed to be illegal to copy them.

I think its OK to measure your clio's holes and bolts and machine what you want.

No problem mate, I'll get mine up on a ramp and have a nosey.

Today I changed my steering wheel myself.

OMP VELOCITA diameter 350mm with Renault center button. Cruise Control sill works.


I can change to OMP SUPERTURISMO diameter 320mm in a few seconds.


Quick Release Spacer 2 (QRS2)


Oreca steering boss and spacers. The steering comes near by 50mm.


I have felt the steering wheel too far for me, but my clio has no telescopic adjustment. 50mm near is very very comfortable.

Looks real good mate. Bet it looks even better in the flesh/metal 8)

 

[marshall]

I got another steering wheel, NARDI ONE N820 for street and touring use.

 

[Keiran197]

[ashe]

sweet sterring wheel masa! how did you manage to get the cruise control buttons out?

 

[Masa]

how did you manage to get the cruise control buttons out?

step1 : make 8mm hole


step2 : insert 8mm stick to push spring up to release airbag ( I think this part is most difficult.)


step3 : remove airbag


step4 : remove horn switch


step5 : remove cruise control buttons


step6 : cruise control buttons and cables


step7 : bolt on to Sparco External Horn Button Kits

Link to NARDI 1(ONE) N820

The diameter is 350mm.
The original steering is 365-370mm.

Additionally I am using spacers of 50mm. I think it makes you look bigger than actual diameter.

 

[edd1e]

ah fair enough! I like what you have done with the car

 

[ashe]

love it masa!

alot of guts and know to be able to drill a hole in the steering wheel to release the airbag. but alls worth it

 

[Masa]

I have changed seat belts from silver to yellow !!
