Steering wheels.

[shiroitenshi]

Hmm this one a question for 'cosmetic' modders..

I've heard of momo, nardi, key's/ATC, sparco, OMP... which seems to be the 'more' mainstream steering makers..

One that seems quite quiet is Personal... I can't seem to find the website for the manufacturer.

The rest mentioned above got, but not 'Personal'..

Which country does it originate from?

Edit: Opps... found it.. Nardi makes them.. ROFL!!

Others..

Raid (Italy) - mostly on old sports fiats/lancias/maseratis
BBS (germany) - alloy wheel maker - very limited & few variants
Fittipaldi (USA) - also alloy wheel maker..
Italovanti (Italy)
Mountney (Italy) - mostly Mini Cooper (classic models) & some sporty fords in the 70' & 80'

Do you notice that most of them came from alloy wheel makers? However in Momo case, its the other way around..

Actually I wanted the Mugen unit my friend has, but he's not willing to sell it... since he's installing in his car so looked his other stuff, and saw this.. a remnant of his previous VW Golf. Since it was big, I knew this was the steering I was looking for.. the Momo's I saw are usually smaller..

Browsing through the Nardi-Personal S.p.A website, now I know it's called a Grinta, or at some other sites, a Neo Grinta.

Hmm.. akuma first..

The website is here... apparently one Manufacturer makes both brands..

Nardi-Personal S.p.A.: Volanti di Primo Equipaggiamento ed After Market: Story

Two years after Enrico Nardi's death, Nardi trademark was bought from Personal and, in 1990, Nardi Italia S.p.A. was founded as a completely autonomous company, located in Abbiate Guazzone - Tradate (Varese) - Italy.

Then combined back again.

On March 1st, 2005 the ownership of Nardi Italia S.p.A. was officially taken over by Mr. Lorenzo Cerofolini C.E.O.
The company was renamed Nardi-Personal S.p.A.

LOL.. I guess it pays to research what you use.. :P
In a way, you can say that Nardi is made by Personal, but if you consider that Enrico Nardi made the Personal brand, then can see it from my point of view.

Well.. who says the internet don't teach ya' new things?

For hattech..
Normal steering only lah.. I only bought it because I hate small steering.. and having 16"+ shoulder width doesn't help...

Picture?

Holy cow! It's ROUND!! hahahaa.. .

Unfortunately, could not find the original horn button, so he gave me one from ATC/Key's. Similar shape, but not Personal's one.

 

[hattech-v]

ask someone to fabricate the horn button laa.. hehehhehe

 

[hattech-v]

oh btw, its look nice....

 

[shiroitenshi]

oh btw, its look nice....

Well.. all sports steerings look nice... it's the size that matters..

Big dick better than small dick, no? Hahahaha..

Actually.. will try to locate the ori one.. probably will be able to find one sooner or later.. but the ATC one fits so well, so no problem if I keep it anyway.

Hmm.. thanks for the lesson.. seems like there's more steering makers after all.. mostly from Italy... I wonder why? Maybe ferarri owners spent so much on car, so the most common mod is the steering wheel? ROFL!
