i wanna know who has aftermarket steering wheels on their tc's
how was the install
i know its illegal
has any1 goten away with it
if not
whats the penalty from the pigs

some dude that owns a shop told me its a federal offense for them to install aftermarket steering wheel unless its a track car
i was thinkin about nrg steering wheel
idk..is it worth the risk..no airbag or nice steering wheel

thanks

it is illegal, but it probably wouldn't be a primary offense, officer would only notice it once you get pulled over, and ofcourse, if your state has inspections on a regular basis.

and then, you know, heaven forbid, you should crash, and your aftermarket steering wheel fails to deploy, you like die or something, because you wanted to be cool and what not by removing safety equipment from your car. it is up to you whether or not risking your life and breaking the law are worth it.

i think the only people that have use it for show only? Dont see any advantages at all? Stock wheel is fine unless your wanting the F&F look?

x2. stock is just fine

no way, aftermarket ones turn like 20% more, and have like less rotational mass, and buttons for your two stages of nitrous, and a flat bottom for steering with your knees! you know, everything you need to be a terrific driver.

The purpose of an aftermarket wheel is for true race track use. Off the track, there is no point.

A smaller wheel diameter means that you have effectively increased the steering response (since less hand movement results in greater turning). For track use, it can be useful. For street use, an competent driver should be able to compensate with our stock wheel. It's not THAT bad. And if it's really such a big deal, there are plenty of OEM Toyota wheels with airbags that can be rigged up to work.

But again, for all the super go fast naaaaaaaaaaaaaaws people. . . it goes hand in hand with the oversized wheels, big spoiler, and billions and billions of stickers.

Or for people who like a clean look. Ill take a four-point harness over an airbag anyday.

thats true
it looks nice
but 4 point harnesses are pretty sweet

You know 4 pt. Harnesses are designed with the intent to be used with a helmet, right?

If you know anybody who professionally races, and is older than 25 (read: has EXPERIENCE), they'll tell you how important a helmet can be. And they'll also tell you how important a fire retardant system is, when you can't remove your 4 pt after a heavy crash. I'd be curious to find out how effective 5 pt harnesses are on off track applications.

i know.
a friend of mine has a track car with 5 pt harness and has to wear an insane amount of fire-proof clothing and a helmet..one with the visors
and i believe it depends on how fast your car is on the track
but wouldn't it be hard to have the 4 or 5 point seat harnesses on stock seats right?
im pretty sure you would need aftermarket seats
im not sure tho
