Initial thoughts are the that although it is bigger the rim is thinner so not much in it ! Its very grippy and my hands are black as the die from the suede is coming out :(

I like pretty much all the mods so far... but I am not a fan of that steering wheel I am sorry to say. As much criticism is thrown at the original steering wheel, I think it is one of the best designed wheels in the market. So much so that toyota decided to fit an almost identical one to the GT86/ Subi BRZ.

No feels the same in that respect if anything it feels like there is more feedback but that's probably just in my head :).

I did not dislike the old wheel so much just always liked the momo 78 and I like the idea of it being removable from a practicality \ security point of view

I can see the why, just that it isn't my cup of tea. If we were all the same then the world be a sad place. How did you negate the Airbag warning light?

Sub frame mods

The fun ended when we realised the seat belt bolts are not long enough at the moment so I am currently trying to source some suitable ones hopefully in by the weekend ;)
