Talking ok guys I am making my LIST again need some help.

ok I am making my MOD list again since I have gone in some directions I did not plan previously.

I will soon disclose my BIG list but for now I would like to know what steering wheel you all use other than stock ones and shirfter *** I need a replacement in the next year or so. Also how would I tell a welding shop to make the roll cage I want as far as dimensions and strength go? My list also contains repairs planned so it is adding to the MASSIVITY!!! of it all and the CASH that I will need I think I am looking at about 8-12k total cost as a starting figure. My list does not yet include anything with cosmetics so that may be a little too low. man I want a MODE 6 car ****!!! ok 14-18k


Ok guys comments advice oppinions on the stuff I asked. Thanks!

Santiago

We don't know what your really looking for. All I know so far is you want an aftermarket steering wheel and shifter. I like MOMO so thats what I will be getting eventually. What else are you looking for? As for the roll cage, I really don't see a need for one unless its required for any type of racing you are entering in. Its going to weigh(slow) an NA down alot(unless you don't plan on being NA very long ). Not sure what to tell them, but theres quite a few people on here that have roll cages, so you might want to ask a specific question about that.

I think that Paul (Silkworm) had some info posed wither here or on his web site http://www.lcaf.com about his roll cage.
As far as steering wheels, momo, sparco, OMP, and there are some other good companies out there that I can't think of right now.

Ok well I will probably still drive this car every day if not every other day. I would need something that looks ok and is not too small for the wheel, for the shifter I would like something like a sphere I am also planning to get a short shifter, I want the cage for SAFTEY lol since I do drive kinda fast sometimes and would like to have some extra steel to help me stay alive I also want it since I want to get some 6-points and don't want to be crushed by the roof of my car IF i were to flip. I do plan to stay N/a for a while yet maybe in the future I might possible think about maybe thinking about going with a TII engine not soon though. I am almost done with my list I may post it later on but I need to think about all the items on it and compare prices.

Well, IMO if you are planning for a cage, then you should also get race seats and harnesses. Having a cage w/o being properly held in place, is just asking for your head to be cracked open in an accident.
