I'm short 5'6" and my seat will be rather close to the steering wheel. With a high thigh bolster seat, Sparco Circuit, the QR steering wheel will make ingress and egress much easier on me.

My car is 95% track and trailered to the track.

Regardless of whether your comment was directed at me, that's my rational.

You can unplug the airbag and retain your OEM steering wheel and still use your 5/6 point harness and race bucket. Am I wrong?

Minimal weight saving.

Ohhhhhh my bad. It is also a theft deterrent, you can take the wheel inside and someone can't steal the car as easily as if there was a steering wheel.

Weight savings nonetheless. Every ounce counts for some people.

I understand your rationale (I remember you mentioning previously you'll be running halo seats), so the question wasn't directed at you specifically. I guess the answer is for most folks it's bling. I kind of get the whole "security" aspect of it, but these days if someone wants your car, it's a whole lot easier and faster often times w/ a flatbed..

Actually that would be quite useful for me if you know of some instructions on how to do that properly, I need a race seat and roll bar for trackdays but I still want to be STR legal, can't have an aftermarket steering wheel because your replacement has to be heavier than the stock steering wheel, which would never be the case.

For me it was a way to space out the steering wheel. I couldnt drive the car with the stock wheel in place, my hands would hit my legs when turning. It also make it easier to get out of the car. When the car is in the enclosed trailer, a cage, closed door and a steering wheel makes it hard to get out. Being able to remove the steering helps a lot.

Have you seen the side bolstering of an OMP HTE-R XL seat? I need all the extra room and help I can get to get in that damn seat. I can barely make it out with the wheel attached.

Another NRG Gen3, with the paddle looking release handles. I loved it, worked flawlessly.
I used the larger hub that fit over the clock spring so everything worked as normal.

Used with a sparco wheel:



I did it because I added a sparco circuit pro seat, which had high bolsters, which interfered with ingress/egress. Initially, it was on sliders, so I could slide the seat back and get out. But eventually I fixed the seat, added fire suppression, and the QR.

Transformed the interior to feeling like a cockpit.

I need better knee clearance for heel toe downshifting now that i have installed new seats(i went from recaro PP to the Sparco Circuit 2 Halo seats and the seating position is not as good). my knees hit the bottom of the steering wheel when i heel toe. therefor i am going with a much smaller OMP wheel with a flat bottom like the one pictured above(this is not my car).
Sorry to revisit an older thread, but which quick release/hub assemblies out there give you approximately the same steering wheel position as stock? I see you can get shorter or longer ones but I have no point of reference in terms of which would equate to a stock like positioning of the wheel. I would like something close to stock. Thanks in advance!
