[06blkmagicGTI]

[HoopaChalupa]

[HoopaChalupa]

aigh guys here is the first post regarding this... even before facebook!!!
NRG installed their prototype quick release steerwheel setup on my car today.
if you look it up its a custom hub for the mkv application and i have the quick release 2.5 with the black steering wheel. this will be going into production seeing that it fit on my car. these are 2 quick ones that i took off my camera. im waiting for the guys at NRG to send me their photos...

this is the quick release (blue of course haha)

the whole setup


love it or hate it i think its pretty sweet.

[boostedJTi]

Love the quick release, not a fan of your steering wheel lol. I had a quick release in my rx7, is damn near the ultimate anti-theft device

ya it really is and i have the lock on there too, so its going to be tougher.i feel you on the steering wheel, there are a couple other ones i have my eye on that i just recently saw. good grain hehe

[zeonic]

with a better wheel i would dig it airbags are ment for suspension anyways

[07GeeTeeEye]

You payin to use my brainwaves? Got a 2.0 that needs rebuilding lol

[BillyBob]

DOOD! If I didn't have wheel buttons, I'd totally have to take my hand off my shifter.
..I can't do that. I love the way the knob feels in my hand. Nothin better than a thick knob in your hand..
Gay enough yet?
not as gay as THIS!

I agree, not enough blue accents for the hub to be blue. My .02$... I love quick release wheels. And would love to modify a stock steering wheel for a quick release.

[HoopaChalupa]

so if you guys had my interior the vote would be to change the quick release system to all black rather than bringing some more blue accents in?

[slippednfelled]

I dont know, the blue would be cool and different. but with black if you change the wheel color ever it would still match the interior.

[kryptonkid07]

^^my steering wheel of choice.

[HoopaChalupa]

that is pretty sick. ive been opened to a whole new world of steering wheels with this quick release haha

[volcano]

thats if you want lol

[07GeeTeeEye]
