Default Replacing Steering Wheel

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has replaced their factory steering wheel with an aftermarket steering wheel, while still retaining the functionality of the cruise control and horn, or if this is even possible. Thanks

Interior help is in the interior forum. We put it there so that new members will have a hard time finding it. So far I think we are doing a stellar job.

I've never seen a after market steering wheel with cruise control on it.

I'll pitch the idea to MOMO to help there sales! I bet it's gonna be the next big thing with Super GT. Drivers while on the track could set the cruise control to give their right foot a break.

Why stop at the steering wheel... Why not a racing cup holder. Afterall, what self-respecting AutoX'er wouldn't want to be able to keep that steaming hot cup of Starbuck's coffee steady while challenging the cones...

I thought about the cupholder idea too but I figured it would be better to get a racing PS3 installed instead. That way they can play GT5 or COD4 before every round.

Man I'm gonna be rich!!!

MCR (as well as other am I sure, since I will bet money MCR isn't the company manufacturering these) sells a cruise control kit too be used with aftermarket steering wheels. They have it on there GTR and I am sure it can be used on a Z.

I've thought of it before, it's a great idea for us commuters. Courtesy of pandagarage.com.

I usually just sit back and read these threads. But this is funny. My gf accuses me of being a smart ***, maybe it is from over exposure of this forum. IDK?
