Just wanted to ask what setup people use for their steering wheel on race/track s2000. Do you go with the 350mm or 300mm diameter wheels? What quick release/hub adapter do you buy that is compliant with NASA and SCCA rules for racing. I would like feedback on setups that are approved for racing. Thanks.

 

I was just wondering the same.

 

The stock wheel is in the realm of 350mm. I personally prefer a 320mm with the slower AP2 rack and a 330mm with the AP1/CR rack, but 320mm is hard to find sometimes so we usually recommend a 330mm for all cars, but again, this is personal preference. Some taller drivers may not be able to use such a small wheel and still be able to see the tach, but generally with a low mounted racing seat, there are no issues.

Regarding quick release hubs, I do not believe there is a rule in the NASA CCR for steering wheels/hubs/quick releases, not sure about the SCCA GCR.

*edit* Doing some research, I see in the SCCA GCR that the steering wheel quick release must be all metal in some classing rules. I'll see if I can find anything else.

 

I have a Omp corsa 330 deep dish with nrg short hub. Fits perfect for me. Hot s bit more leg room. Just wish the wheel was a little thicker though. Feels small with my gloves on.

 

I have a nrg hub and quick release with a grip royal steering wheel. Works for me....

 

From my website's "Race Car" page:

There's two main reasons to install an aftermarket steering wheel. The stock steering wheel looks like crap after the air bag is removed and it's not possible to install a steering wheel quick disconnect with the stock wheel. A steering wheel quick disconnect will make getting into and out of a caged car much easier. Foot well maintenance is easier too with the steering wheel out of the way. I have a Momo wheel that is almost flat with about 1 inch of dish. It's diameter is within an inch of the stock size. I tried a 2 inch smaller wheel and it was too small, too hard to keep the steering smooth and the smaller wheel blocked the RPM display for me (I'm tall at 6'2").

My quick disconnect is an NRG low profile in silver but I wish I had gone with black. It has two "wings" you grab with your fingers to remove it. It comes off easily using one hand. I used a generic ebay hub adapter to mount the quick disconnect & wheel. The NRG quick disconnect does have wiring provisions for the horn but the cruise control module will have to be removed. It is possible to attach the module to the hub so it stays with the hub when you pull the steering wheel.

Steering Wheel on Dash, Adapter Hub & Quick Disconnect

You have to take into account the thickness of the adapter hub + quick disconnect + steering wheel dish to figure out where the wheel will end up. Mine ended up about 2 inches closer to me than the stock wheel and it's just about perfect. A truly flat steering wheel (no dish) would have ended up about 1 inch closer to the driver compared to the stock wheel. If you don't use a "low profile" disconnect you could end up with the steering wheel too close to your body.

 

Thanks for the replies and info plan on buying one soon after I do some more research.

 

330mm flat wheel with nrg short hub and nrg 2.5 quick release. Ap1 at 5'11" and can see entire tach. Seated lower with sparco seats.
