help, finding a part

vectrahed

Hi all, hope this is in the correct section.

im trying to pick up an opel 3 spoke steering wheel from a facelift vectra, think they only came with the sportier models.

would be greatfull if anyone knows where i could lay my hands on one or even if they know someone that might know someone else


cheers

Try breakers yards, and keep an eye on Donedeal etc.

I'd imagine a new wheel from Opel will be stupid money.

Don't bother...they're useless unless you pick up a Neo and map it then

thanks for the info midnight EG, i was lookn at the apexi neo on donedeals but not sure about 2nd hand, all so looked at the G-reddy engine control E-manage 2nd hand, not sure which is the better of the two!

Thanks again for advice!

The Neo's are great little things to have, and they're usually grand second hand! Most people that have them are second hand :P

Neo's are junk, stay away from themm its not the proper way to map a car at all.

Log on to www.honda-haven.com and pm a fella called inspector01 he will map a proper ecu for you for about €300.

Alternatively go to a place like Urban Performance or Couture Auto (as your in meath) and get a Hondata or Demon ecu done.

For the money you spend mapping a Neo and Buying one youll have a much better system out of the above.
