New Mod...SMG Wheel
 
New Mod...SMG wheel was installed a few weeks ago just got a chance to post a pic. Although it doesn't handle the twisties like a 911 or M3 it deffinitely is much more fun to drive with the paddle shifters. :)

Nice and I totally agree that it's more fun driving with the paddle-shifters when on steptronic mode...

That looks awsome!!! I bet those paddles are a lot of fun...Congrats :thumbup:

Do you have a 3.0 or 4.4? I'm sure its more fun with the 4.4 than a 3.0...

Nice wheel. I really want that on my x but that damn airbag costs too much. Anyone want to trade...

benathon 07-04-2006 12:09 AM

Yeah I think the airbag is around $500...

Wha wha whaaat?

the paddles work?

ljnlaw 07-04-2006 06:30 PM

Sorry guys I have been offline for a while...yes the paddles work. The shifting is not instantaneous like it would be with the M3 or M5 but its still quick. If I want to go really nuts I could buy the Dinan S2 package (everything except the supercharger) and that includes engine and trans software which would make the shifts lightning quick. For now its a lot of fun to drive...maybe I'll save my pennies for the S2. :-)
