Re: Steering wheel removal Mk3

Janspeeds are too noisy on a street car IMO.... we only used to fit them back in the day because they were cheap compared to the factory exhaust systems but a double S is easier to live with on a road car.

As Keith said. The old MR2 fans are supposed to be quite an easy swap over. Here's the topic on how to install them: http://www.rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=74 I have also got myself a 16" single speed Kenlowe from Demon Tweeks, but won't be installing it until after my MOT at the end of...
