i have a momo commando with momo hub it works amazing they give a way better feeling tongue.gif

"she can polish my strut bar anytime As long as her blow-off valve's in good order"
I have an NRG wheel with hub and quick release... love it as well and i think its styled better than the Momo's

Breaking Axles...
So you have to get the quick release

you don't have to get a quick release... you have to get a hub

Breaking Axles...
so thats all you need is a hub and a wheel?

and the screws but yep=p just be careful and unplug the airbag control and the negative

i see. i think im going to do the nrg quick release

even if you do a quick release... you still NEED a hub...

Breaking Axles...
id stick with just the wheel and the hub it adds up quick.

(amazon prices)
like my momo commando is 260
screws are like 10
hub is 80
quick release 80

Yeah thats not on the top of my list to do now. it just sounded fun for the moment

Just to hijack a thread a lil' bit:
Are wheel hubs "vehicle specific" or are they interchangeable?
(I have Sparco Mugello which used to be in my 95GT Probe. Will the hub fit Celica?)

'94 ST
may or may not, probably wont.. the splines are most likely different

I'll see your hijack and raise ya one laugh.gif

If you do a 7th gen wheel swap, or rather at least the 3 spoke swap, do you need the clock spring in order for the airbag to work still?

By "splines" you mean the amount of teeth on the central shaft the wheel is bolted to?

'94 ST
bingo... how many teeth and how thick they are and the actual size of the shaft thickness... hahahaha

Funny!
I was kinda hoping that that might be general automotive standard, bummer!

'94 ST
well i know the honda hub for an older accord fits the celica... so it may?

Breaking Axles...
I guess I will give it a try when it warms up outside....

poopsticks. That's right, I said it, I'll say it again. Poopsticks.

Guess I'll have to google WTF a clock spring is, what it looks like and where it goes laugh.gif

i think i have an extra if you need it... its just a circular piece of metal (think of wires wrapped around a circle several times) that allows you to turn your wheel without getting it tangled... it comes in a yellow plastic case for the 6gc
