Damnit! How did you guys guess? Yes it's ONE Mugen bolt and it's scratched and used. LOL!

S1R? No. Hopefully thats coming in the summer. And it'll only be one seat.


I'm getting the Mugen Racing III steering wheel from King, and the NRG Quick release / Short hub / Lock from weksos.

does your shop have an alignment machine and a set of scales?

it sounds like you adjust your ride heights a lot..... which means that every time you mess with it, youre gonna have to spend another afternoon re-doing it all. its not hard to do, but it takes a little bit of time. my car is corner weighted, but ive never changed ride height except for when i did corner weight it, almost a year and a half ago.

I wanted a FG360 for years but definetly not for the price people are asking. $800 for a steering wheel is just plain ridiculus in my book.

Then I opted for the Racing II, but once I had the money, King no longer had them. So once the Racing III came out, I was all over it like a fly on sh*t. My cousin in Toronto ordered it yesterday and he's bringing it for me in April when they come to Greece to visit.

NRG is the only way to go if you want a lock and NOT pay the premium price that Works Bell combos are going for. $500 to $700 for a quick release and lock is WAY to much.

S1R was not at the top of my list - infact a new suspension was - but with the rise of the Euro and with the US dollars worth below toilet paper I just might make the move to complete my Mugen interior.

The woman said "has he seen the civic? It looks like ****" LOL

So I guess I'm gonna order me some replica optional sides and rears tomorrow.
And hopefully I can repair my +98 bumber within the next month along with stripping the hatch and driving it to macco

I was very excited to see the III come out
I believe only king has them
but once JHP starts carrying them, I'll be ordering one asap
Too bad you have to wait until april
Thats my b-day month tho so I will vicariously pretend the wheel is my present LOL

NRG is affordable and quality and popular and widely used so the testimonials speak for themselves.
I was looking into Works Bell just to be different, but yea the price is kind of high
Also thinking about the omni power cause I like the brand name, but looks pretty basic and nothing special
But I got another QR set up in mind anyways...

I still want S1s more than S1Rs even thought the S1Rs are clearly better next gen design seats
But I love how the S1s match the del sol interior perfectly
My f1specs should hold me over until I can get rails and seats...
Maybe at that time I'll opt for the S1Rs, or just S1R for that matter

Sorry to hear its so difficult to get that bumper to you
But if you do sell it, i'm sure you can find a buyer easily/asap

Im not a fan of that ghetto looking cc setup, it looks out of place imo. Does anyone know what oem 3 spoke wheel you might be able to use and keep cc?
Another reason im scurred to get rid of my oem wheel is i have the 94, and id feel like a tool with one passenger airbag lol

Oh there are many many choices for quick releases... I live in Europe remember? We invented racing! Sparco, Momo, OMP has some, but I never found one with a lock like NRG. Besides over here, NRG would be rare as hell. It makes for a great party piece.

S1's vs. S1R's. I pick the R. My seats have the red stripe so it would be a nice upgrade. S1's grey look old fast and the bling holes on the S1R would match my cluster rings.

As for the bumper - we'll see what happens up until mid summer. If I sell it, it'll only be to a dSoc lifer. But I'm sure it'll be in Greece before then.

The pedals and the **** both FEEL great don't they
but I think they look great too if you notice them

I guess CC is like a drug
and once you're hooked you can't cut the habit
I never really used it so i'm clean

I want the lock cause its cool
but not sure If I would feel any safer with it
I mean it makes sense as one of the features of the QR was as a "security" measure (which is why I used to take off my wheel and carry it around school wth me, along with my s300 LOL!!!!)
but with so many people with QRs, especially NRG, someone could just pop theirs on your hub and be back in business
So I guess the lock would be helpful, as it would eliminate turning whatsoever...

I do kind of want the QR holder, but too expensive and not sure exactly what it even does..

You could buy another QR, for cheaper I think and use the end piece and mount it somewhere just like a holder..
