Startech Steering Wheel Second Group Buy
Startech Steering Wheel Second Group Buy.

Well it looks like I am being bullied, cajouled, persuaded, (insert your own descriptive word here) into doing a second group buy.

I am putting up a poll with four options. Please sign up IF you are interested in a Startech steering wheel. This is NOT a commitment to buy a Startech steering wheel. Once I have a rough idea on possible sales I will try a little bit of gentle arm twisting to get a better price. Please note that the £ has dropped about 10% against the Euro since the last group buy. Currently I can not give a definite price due to the volatility of the exchange rate.

This group buy sign up will run for 28 days.

Any questions please ask away

Brendan

Bredan,

Definitely want the Startech wheel, looking for stitching that matches the premium seats, think that's the silver as opposed to white - if you could confirm.

My Defender is MY16 - I'm after a slimline boss to give maximum room, but want to make sure there's no issues with the self cancelling of indicators. Is the Startech boss the only option?

Thanks in advance,
Ian

I bought one from Brendan a few months back.

Not stealing Brendan's reply, but the stitching does match the premium seat stitch and the slimline boss (collapsable in an accident version) does keep the self cancelling indicators working fine!

Lovely wheel... perhaps my only 'regret' now is not going for the green option to match my Keswick green that Venomator has! Cool Cool Thumbs Up YOLO... You Only Live Once...

We can not get any more Startech steering wheels before early May, however we do have some in stock.

Now if we could get 10 people interested in Startech steering wheels I will try a little bit of gentle persuasion to see what the best price I can get for the Startech. Unfortunately the worsening of the exchange rate with the Euro is not helping us.

I've not seen one and I don't get my 'new to me' 90 until tomorrow, but the reviews seem to suggest that I may benefit from from additional elbow room.

Think I want one

Regards

Its just a lovely thing to hold..... so much more than the bus type wheel I had previously. Silly it make my truck feel a bit 'sporty' not in quicker Smile just nicer to be in.

Thing is now, I would like more leather bits.....

As I have said before its the best mod going

Feels much better than the bus wheel

Makes the Def feel nicer to drive - silly I know
Looks better than a Momo

Its more expensive than a Momo, but you can always sell it

Sounds the best.... I suppose you have to work harder with more turns compared to the orginal size? Still worth though?

Stacey007 - rub it in why don't you! Big Cry

Surely smaller wheel means less turning but harder work?

Still want one, so much but can't justify the cost at the moment Big Cry
