shaz, a good cheap temp way to fix it is this, I got some foam tape from Clark rubber and put that where I highlighted. I think it was a 2/3mm thick on top and about 5mm thick running down the sides. but for 2 years had that with no leak, I think I replaced the tape once during that period.

I did the coax cable thing & it seems to have worked on the drivers side. :). I might try your idea on the passenger side, tho. That is where it leaks. Thanks.

New steering wheel is such a nicer design. That goony one that comes with the earlier models is, so, goony.

Ah Dudeman............so eloquently said!
Well done Shaz!
I have to admit that buying nice bits for the baby is vey satisfying..........particularly if you can get the stock bits for your model - respect the heritage :-)
Cheers, M

The steering wheel...  vs...........................  I like retro and AW style, but the SW rev1 wheel has always been the most fugly thing, even when it was new. It makes me think of a daggett on ye' olde BattleStar galatica (TV show, not movie)

Gen 3 turbo swap? :P Haha...na I'm guessing something cosmetic, maybe a detail or changing real tail lights to the later model?
1990 SW20 MR2 N/A with 1994 Gen 3 GTS 3S-GTE swap.

That type was fitted to post '92 models. Be careful with OEM wheels because the horn connections vary. The pic shows the rear of the '90 model wheel and one similar to what Shaz has fitted.

Thanks mate. ill have a good look, my cars is a 90 JDM. and has the clock spring unit. from lookign the pics redtarga posted the steeringwheel should fit. mystock wheel looked like the one on the left in the pic but with the clock spring unit on it and the hole in the wheel. bit weird. i think the clock spring unit was also used for the directional foglights to work. which only the JDM models had afaik.
