Factory NA8 or NB Steering wheels into NA6?

Postby Szemen » Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:54 am

How are the NA8 fitted? eg, Sabretooth's NA8. is the boss attached to it or can it be seperated so I can easily get another nardi wheel (deep corn =D) to attach on.

As Danny said the particular wheel you've linked is JDM.


I thought this Nardi steering wheel was only unique to the Clubman? Which came with matching Nardi gear shift knob? And the standard NAs came with a Momo wheel?

Is this correct?

European brand wheel - looks like it has a separate hub. Rial brand or something (Look in a UK tuning magazine and you will see stuff like that).

Just as an aside, this was Bob Halls explanation of why Mazda kept switching between Nardi and Momo wheels on the '5:

Always wondered why MX-5's (particularly NA series) seem to flip flop between Momo steering wheels and Nardi steering wheels + gear knob. Were there different agreements with these suppliers? Reason I'm asking is that I am putting a Nardi black leather gear knob with my standard fit Momo and this question popped into my head.

Political as much as anything. Momo's reputation in Japan isn't anywhere as good as Nardi's, while the reverse is the case in North America. Since Nardi and Momo are owned by the same group, Mazda splits orders between the two suppliers as a fop to the US and Japanese markets. This alternates the bellyaching headquarters gets from the US and Japanese sales departments without appearing to side with one over the other.
