Anyone using these? Are they decent or one of those "you get what you pay for" type of deals?

Share your experiences. I'm debating on the stock setup or an ebay setup. If the ebay is no good, i'll hold out for an nrg hub and vertex ridge 320mm. Most of you know i have a pos grant muscle car type wheel and no hub adapter. I hate it. The shape, the feel, the overall look. It blows.

 

NRG hubs/quick releases are cheap and effective.

i run an ebay steering wheel, a long with a lot of other drifters i know. they work fine, i like it MUCH more than the oem wheel.

 

I agree with this statement. ive had NGR hubs and sweering wheels in a few of my cars. and my room mate has it in his & and likes it.

 

dont waste your time on an ebay steering wheel. i got one and i dont think a wheel should be so weak that you can bend it over just sitting there pushing on it at a stop light. there was a thread about this in the tech section not too long ago. someone had an ebay hub fail and almost wipe his car out. buy legit ****. its not that much more expensive

 

That's what my buddy andrew said. His friend remy got him a 330mm ebay wheel and qr hub for x-mas and he told me not to get it. If it wasn't free, he wouldn't have gotten it. he says it's a flexy peice of ****. I figured he just got a broken steering wheel or something. I remember him trying to show me how fucked it was while i was fixing his clutch system.

It seems like i cant skimp on any area of my build aside from running knock off rims, seats and aero...... I'm trying to cut safe corners but it's ******* bad when a steering wheel isn't even safe!

 

Do you really want to question how safe your steering is, especially when you are going to drive on public roads? Scary steering can kill you and other people, don't do it.

 

Bought an ebay hub on my old FC and the teeth disintegrated lol. Had to use a wrench to steer home.

 

yeah, when i bought my car it had a ebay wheel/hub on it. not only is the wheel unraveling and too small, the damn hub makes the whole thing flex about an inch and a half if you put any kind of a load on it.... so my vote is to stay away from them. Grant makes a hub for our cars that isnt too bad but the wheels they make are pretty gay...

 

i used a 330 on my FC back in the day and now i have one on my FD. i havent had any problems with them but i suggest getting a deep corn steering wheel for an FC since the turn signal and wiper switches are too close to your hands with a flat wheel

 

Yeah, the deep corn is a popular wheel. They even have a *** taniguchi signature version out. I'm thinking about it. They do make hubs that space the wheel out exactly where you want it and they also make spacers so i'll look into those. I'm just a bit bummed that china couldn't even make a decent knockoff steering wheel. Wtf.....

 

As for a quick release, the Megan / NRG / Circuit Sports are pretty much all replicas of a Rapfix. I've run the Circuit Sports one in my car for over two years with no issues.

 

Don't skimp on seats, get something FIA approved or approved by some other organization- OMP, Sparco, Recaro, Bride, Sabelt to name a few. Seats keep you, along with your harness/belt from flying through your windshield in a crash.

 

+1

a few months back when i rolled my old FD the thing that saved my whole spine and my life was my Bride seat. worth every penny. oh yea, dont use the same seat if its been in a wreck before

 

Don't buy the quick release hub on ebay. Its such a piece of ****. It broke upon installation on mine. You can buy my new one for 10$ shipped if you really want it that badly.

 

lol this ebay hub?

boss hub is good.

 

Black fd, correct?

If that's the case, you are very lucky to be alive.

I could always buy used or hope and pray i come across a pair of infini seats and have the cash in hand for them at the time. Thanks. You convinced me and probably potentially saved my life.

I'm going to be drifting so a crash isn't a matter of if but when. I've already accepted that.

 

Stop bumping every thread noob.

 

Team Xeon OMGWTFBBQKTHXBY!111!!

 

ebay hubs are fine. ebay quick releases are ultimate fail. most ebay wheels fail as well.
you get what you pay for.
nrg is prolly as cheap as you can get and still have a nice product.
just put nrg qr and suede wheel in my wrx and it makes my pecker tingle

 

LMFAO not sure what team xeon is but i can already tell its BA

Ebay doesn't make anything.....if you haven't noticed.

You can't dismiss him out of my thread. He's a better driver than you and has heaps more experience. I value his opinion over yours, even if he can be a dick about it from time to time. Unlike some, i'll listen to experienced drivers instead of being a stubborn butthead about it.


I'm wondering where i was when the team xeon thread was made.
