I mean steering wheels of course.

I've been looking at a 10" D Shaped wheel, really like it but is 10" just to small when it comes to torque steer or parking.

what are peoples thoughts?

that was part of my thinking giving my legs some room. but it seems like bigger is the way to go.

i know there are some people with only 10" on here by they seem to be staying quiet *tongue*

Mines 10" *wink* ive never found it to be a problem with torque steer, although i will be fitting a 12" to it to see if it feels better :) if not ill stick with the 10"

I always thought size doesn't matter as long as you know how to use it?:p
Anyway: I'll be using a standard metty turbo steering wheel 'coz otherwise I can't read the gauges in front of me. 10" seems a bit smallish to me.

I've got a 10" on mine, I was running aprox 200bhp with 13X8 wheels with no real torque steer problems, although I was running a 2.7 final drive on a metro turbo challenge gearset

How did you find the challenge gearset for pulling away as I have one with a 3.2

Well i had 133lbps of torque @ fly @ 3700rpm on 9psi it never ran past 4.7k revvs on the rollers so i dont know the BHP but i imagine its somewhere near 140? it torque steered like a bitch because i never got the wheels aligned (diddnt have the cash) i just fitted the neg camber adjustable arms and did it with eye sight and the feel of it in the car... (bad idea) it going to be done properly this time!

It was a bit of a bitch but I got used to it, it would do 60mph in first, 90mph in second, 120mph in third but that was on a 2.7 so with a 3.2 it'll be better. The biggest problem I found is that a 4 paddle plate would only last about 3000 miles
