Well my Cousin and I decided it was time to upgrade the wheel in her (yes her) FTO.. and she decided the Sparco Racer 2 (pictured)



Now to start work...

Tools we Used
*Assortment of sockets
*Spanner
*Screw Driver
*Allenkeys (most likly included)


Step 1: Remove front of wheel and undo bolt 50-60%. Then with Palms of hand, or fists taps the edges of the wheel to release seal from the splines. Dont try pulling it off because you will be there forever! Once the wheel seems free from spline, totally undo nut and remove horn wire, then remove wheel.



Step 2: There are plastic surrounds around the steering column.. there are 3-4 screws which are removed to reveal the inside of the steering column making it easier to line up boss kit.

(plastic suround im talking about is pictured in blue)


Step 3: Boss kit is then needed to attach wheel to the steering colum/spline.
With appropriate boss kit line up the spline with the plastic thing around spline.
Then add 1-2 drops of loctit, and put nut back onto spline and do up.


Step 4: Plastic rubbery boss kit cover over boss kit and line up steering wheel to the holes in the front plate of the boss kit.
Use supplied allen bolts and screw into the boss adaptor.
Hook up horn wire to the buttons (2 in this case)

Finished Product:



Few lil hitches along the way but its done... handles and turns better and looks very nice!


Hope this can help someone on time


*dont forget to bash the sh!t out of the wheel when releasing seal on spline.. 10 hits should do it*

yea hes wight it looks F$%ED

I did the reverse, taking out a nardy VL style wheel in favour for a stock one. the boss took fucking forever, until I stuck a screwdriver in behind it and peeled some backing plate away..it was just weak glue.. wheel and boss came of straight away..

Well done, good job


Looks good.

hey that looks good, have you got a compliance plate for the wheel? If she gets pulled over by a cop whoo wants to be an arse, they will defect the car.

Good choice with buying sparco.

Only if its less than 350mm diameter, or has been used as a replacement for an airbag wheel.

Yes, but the steering wheel needs to have a padded centre.
