    recently picked up a used RS4 steering wheel - needed a bit of work.

    take a look at what we did to

    Products used -

    Leather Master Strong Cleaner
    Leather Master Protection Cream

    before - shiny with dirt and grime.

    I'm so OCD I think I'm going to order a new steering wheel its not perfect it looks good and I took all the shine out but....you know I'm in the car all day long.

    the cup had water in it. not much left.

    Whew! thanks for clarifying. An empty cup would have bugged me all day lol.

    I find if its something thats going to bother me, get rid of it. If its going to take away enjoyment of the car for you, so long steering wheel! ;)

    I have a cup in my car almost full with water all the time, I like to practice my difrting....if the water spills, then I know Im not smooth in my drifts. It helps me get better at drifting each day going n coming back from work.. try it!! its so much fun!

    Wow, that's a good restoration project. I actually thought Phil was gonna get a newest body style Audi S4, which is really bad ass!

    I think this is awesome, knowing you; you could have gone with an RS4 or another porsche, this is a classic bodystyle IMO and love it.
    Its awesome to see a restoration of one of these, half the the time you see these now they are beat down and look like crap.

    Just dont buy any parts from JHM. LOL

    so I was able to get a buddy to let me test fit the BBS LM-R's over some Stoptech ST60's. (which have never been officially tested)

    I'm glad to say it WORKS!

    it's a nice tight fit

    next upgrade Stoptech ST60's.
