Thought I'd share two extremes of car ownership with one thing in common- air cooling!

If anyone knows how to paste the actual picture in I'd be most grateful for tekkie advice.

Cheers

If I owned the Carrera GT mate it would be there in a flash. Other than that I am clean out of car porn.

By the way I know it will be frowned upon but what is the thinking on changing my steering wheel on the 993tt? It is a blue airbag one and I fancy a more up to date version but it may not be worth the hassle/cost? Advice appreciated!

think its fine to change to the 996 3 spoke one if this is possible

(I would too, the 993 four spoke is possibly the second worse looking steering wheel I have ever seen after the square Allegro one)

[James W]

Thanks. I rang Porsche and they had no idea so I figured the PH forum would be the best place to ask. I keep looking at the blue monstrosity in front of me thinking it is the only thing spoiling the car.

[adam b]

it must be posssible as I have seen pics of a 993 TT with a 996 wheel

good luck

That looks great. Looks like a early seventies.

I've got a 66 complete with 6volt electrics and sloping headlamps to keep my 993 company.

how about my 55 oval sitting next 2 my porkers !!

[Pickled Piper]

55 Oval mmmm!. 54 or 55 oval is one of the cars in my dream garage. In fact if I had somewhere to keep it I would buy one now. Unfortunately, it's the cost and availability of storage space that is ruling it out rather than the cost of the car itself.

I have the 996 3 spoke airbag wheel in my 993 Carrera - it was a straight swap and I'm sure it has an identical steering column/boss to a 993tt, in fact I bought it from Aceparts who has a 993tt, so I think its pretty well certain. You may find it tricky to get hold of a blue one though, don't know.

And in reply to another post I don't think the 993 wheel is the second worst, as I would (just) favour it over the standard 944 steering wheel - so third place to the 993 wheel.

[James W]

Thanks Tertius- cost/hassle?

[welshchris]

The blue 3-spoker for the 993 is nigh on impossible to get - I've tried - Even Gert says that it's not available.

I was toying with the idea of having a look at a more modern metropole blue one to see how it matches (not quite the right colour, but it might look OK).

If you manage to locate a supplier, be sure to let me know!
