TheLoyale Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I ran across this picture while seraching for Subaru pics, and I notice it was on a EA82! So I'm wondering if anyone has any info on this style of wheel, what its off of or did it come as an option? I noticed this has to be a GL or an RX due to all the extras on the dash. Anyone have one of these they want to sell? I would like one -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 thats a RHD JDM car I do believe, probably something they had in JDM land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 I was thinking it was RHD, since the heater controls are on the wrong side. Damn, everything thats good is in Japan :-p What do you think the chances are someoneon here has one and wants to sell it? Slim to non probably.

GeneralDisorder Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've never seen one up for sale. Your best bet for a nice wheel is to find or make a momo adaptor. They used to sell them for the EA82's but they are discontinued. Sometimes they come up on eBay. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) that looks a lot like a momo check with a company called saas in australia they may have adaptors as well this is a bad picture of my SaaS steering wheel - still has mitsu button as my adaptor is hand crafted this is leater with chrome spokes Edited September 24, 2009 by wallaby add pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a Subaru dealer in Japan who has one in stock or can find you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 GD, yea I heard momo stopped making them for the EA82s. I really like the wheel I posted up, I'll have to do some searching I guess :-\ Wallaby, that ones looks good. Need to change out that Mitsu center hehe. Subarule, this is a good idea. But the only hard part of contacting places out of the U.S which don't use english is reading the webpage and most time they don't reply (Maybe their in the same boat) I wish someone had a PN (Part Number) maybe then my dealer could locate/order one..? -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 whats wrong with stock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Aha Bingo! Well after doing some detailed searching I found what wagon this wheel is in and also the owner is on AUSubaru! So I contacted him about it and see what he knows and what he might be able to tell me. From what I see, its a 2" lifted EA82 wagon, I dunno if it was an aussie thing or not, but this wagon says "Enduro" on the rear and the entire car is white, even the door pilars. I am hopeing he can tell me somethings of this wheel, and maybe has or knows someone with an extra one that is will to sell it. I'll post back here with any info I receive from him, also his ID on AUSubaru is "fang" incase someone on here knows him -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 whats wrong with stock ? Nothing, but this kinda reminds me of the mid-90s Imprezas and Legacys steering wheel. (You know, the all black interior with the leather seats and cool steering wheel) Thats all. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricearu Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 still has mitsu button You're just lucky your car hasn't rebelled by throwing a random fluid leak fit, or just plain keeling over.:-\ Everyone HERE should know that Mitsubishi is a Japanese curse word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Everyone HERE should know that Mitsubishi is a Japanese curse word Yes. As I recall, the most direct translation for "Mitsubishi" is "I prance around in girl's underwear most of the time and occasionally enjoy putting out engine and/or transmission fires".

TheLoyale Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Well I found some things out, That wheel is from a Newzeland Legacy/Liberty, Its made by momo for Subaru, he used a "Boss" adapter so it fits the L-series shaft. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Galant is reliable as long as you do scheduled matinence/tune ups, but not every repair goes smoothly during remove/install. Still a fun car and worth the minor curse word here or there.

TheLoyale Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 To get back on topic, Does anyone have a picture of a Steering wheel adapter for an EA82 looks like? I've been trying like mad to find one, and all my searchs on sites have failed. Some product brand names could help, even part numbers. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 In Australia it would most likely be a SAAS boss. Check the eBay (AU) link: SAAS boss kit Not sure if they will ship to the US, but there must be someone who will. You can get both EA81 and EA82 versions. They are excellent quality too. I have a Nardi Torino wheel on my 1978 4wd wagon and a MOMO on the RX Turbo, both with SAAS boss kits. I think the MOMO came from early 1990s Liberty (Legacy) and the Nardi is from an early 1990s Impreza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
