Sports Wheel & Pedals

The next in line were a few minor accessories.I had a very limited budget as I was a student and it was tough to spend a lot on the car then.

I looked for quality stuff on-line preferably ebay.initially I looked for a good steering wheel as the stock wheel is huge and feels heavy.I spent couple of hours everyday to look for quality stuff and finally I picked up a 320mm Type R racing wheel,an aluminium finish sport pedals on ebay for a good deal.

I managed to bring the wheel and pedal's from U.S but I completely missed on the hub part.it took quite some time in Bangalore to find a suitable hub for the swift,as the car was just released a couple of months ago.I still couldn't find a hub with auto-cut-off signal option.I had to sacrifice that for the wheel and it wasn't a big deal anyway.

The pedals fit perfectly and I had the brake pedal adjusted closer to the accelerator pedal so could make use of the heel-toe down shifting or double declutching when necessary.
