Upgraded impeller, 9# pulley and e85 won't hurt.

Remove 19mm nut from steering column (it's on tight with a bunch of loctite, just like the shift knob). Wheel pulls right off. Transfer a couple parts over to new wheel and re-install. There are alignment marks on wheel and steering column shaft so you can't misalign wheel. Takes a half hour max. There's a youtube video that shows the process.

And don't forget to disconnect your battery first.

Looking good man! Glad to help out.

We have facebook as well as IG. No website at the moment. But honestly facebook and ig keep us more than busy all the time. Check my page. @carbonfiberelement

I wish I hadn't seen this. I just bought (well, last winter) a new steering wheel and opted out of the carbon fiber (too many $'s). Now my engines have been revved up again...for more carbon fiber (me and EVO-R are on very intimate terms). The "swoopiness" of the wheel drew me in and the carbon finished me off...I hate you!!
