right i've finally got rid of the horrible plasticy standard steering wheel

i've ended up with two Nardi Torino wooden rim steering wheels, came standard in some MX5s, one with a black centre and one with a polished centre

i think the black centred one will look better in the car but im just re-doing the varnish on that at the moment so have put the polished one in for now.

pics dont do them justice, but haters gonna hate ;)

I've finally got round to finishing off the black centred steering wheel last week and its now in the car

when i got it, the varnish was cracked around the spokes and it was chipped off to the bare wood at the top of the wheel





so i sanded most of the wheel back to the wood, put on a few coats of yacht varnish and then G3 compounded it all flat, now its like new :)



i've also had a straight through exhaust put on, a couple of months ago my exhaust caught on a cats eye and it snapped the pipe just after the cat, so i have been driving around since then with it bodged up and catching the floor all the time

i like to do everything myself but i had a garage do this one, i got it done really cheap and it saves me crawling around on the floor trying to work out what bend pipe i need etc

its 2" straight through, no cat, no silencers, its really quiet, no different to standard really

not got a tip or anything on it, im not sure if i want one or to hide it, or to just leave it OEM looking
