Well been awhile since any update, but sadly due to work, and bills haven't had much time or money to do anything to the FC.
This abruptly changed when I noticed some small cracks in the ebay special steering wheel that came with the car. Went ahead and took some initiative and just ordered a cheap replacement off
amazon. The new wheel is a 350mm with a 3inch offset. Went this route because I wanted a bigger wheel due to no power steering, and something that was offset from the hub a bit because Im always hitting my fingers on my turn signal stalk. I definitely like the turn out, and will help me pick out a better quality wheel in the future.
