:grin:

On a similar tip, I fitted one from an early Passat CC and lost one of my back seats.

Where is the original thread this takes 'inspiration' from, please?

Post by: vRS Carl on February 21, 2012, 01:17:44 pm: I recently fitted an F1 wheel to my car. Not only did i lose a load of space but it costs a bloody fortune to fill up, does sh*te mpg and tyres are extortionate :fighting: but...............

Fook me it's quick :happy2: :grin:

You might be better trying to install one of these wheels :driver:

I'm going to fit a GT-R one to mine so we can settle the argument of which is quicker once and for all :grin:

Post by: jhtrophy on February 21, 2012, 03:14:46 pm: Great thread op, does that mean my French doors could sound like a golf? If my friend stuck a lambo steering wheel on I would have friends with supercars and I could tell everyone how popular I am :signLOL:

Post by: vRS Carl on February 21, 2012, 03:15:54 pm: Why get it to sound like a Golf when you can have a TT-RS :confused: :evilgrin:

Post by: Vdub13799 on February 21, 2012, 03:27:36 pm: Just taken purchase of a 5000bhp top fuel drag car steering wheel, I know it will make the car a bit quicker but the problem is I have no idea how to drive the gti? I've come from a normal golf but the gti is so much quicker and now with the added steering wheel it may be a challenge. For example how would you guys go about joining a motorway? What gear would you be in? Sorry for all the questions but any advice is much appreciated, thanks

Post by: simonp on February 21, 2012, 03:34:29 pm: I'd imagine 1st should be good for around 200mph so I'd try that.

Post by: gillm on February 21, 2012, 03:38:26 pm: Thanks for your kind comments but the thread seems to be going off topic as I was talking about handling
Title: Re: Will my mk5 still handle the same with a mk6 steering wheel ?
Post by: simonp on February 21, 2012, 03:40:03 pm: Oh right, well I'd imagine the wheel will feel pretty much the same when you handle it.

Do you suggest driving gloves

auto wipe on completion feature.

Like this? (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-ao2qO2RI5bA%2FTfhRNF1tUyI%2FAAAAAAAACVs%2F3TeZJfHV9iw%2Fs1600%2Fauto%2Btoilet.jpg&hash=42793f62211b4e3e995a2035ddd54859b25b5765)
With your R36 wheel, this should fit in the back quite nicely

Post by: Deako on February 22, 2012, 01:26:12 pm: LMFAO at this thread. I suppose the problem is that Mk5 GTIs can be had for around £5k upwards now, so instead of people getting Fiesta STs, they are able to afford a better car.

Post by: mad_pete on February 22, 2012, 01:41:22 pm: Depends where you fit it. Fitting to the passenger side for example will probably result in a dramatic effect on handling....
