[I could see them on a track car or something though (dirt, circle, etc), but this is a whole other topic].
I'd rather do it right. I just have to wait until next week instead of buying something right now. Honestly, the powell adapter looks way better anyway.

Remember they are custom order so it takes a few weeks to have made

Did you lose all the steering wheel controls, and turn signals?

Well my steering wheel control didn't work anyway. NY cruise control wasn't working since I changed my clutch a long time ago. My stereo control didn't work cause I have aftermarket stereo and didn't want to pay over 100 buck for the adapter. The turning signal works but doesn't turn off after you turn you have to shut it off manually.

This thread makes me mad.

Oh and to anyone that gets rid of their airbag. Have fun trying to get insurance to cover any injuries you get in an accident.

I never said fixed... I said cover injuries.

Kid locally got screwed over because he had an aftermarket wheel and suffered injuries that should of easily been preventable with proper safety gear.

Somewhat. It doesnt quite fit perfect and takes some work to make seat right.

The NRG does not have a master spline or a tapered seat. The Cobalt does. I would totally be afraid to hammer that on a cobalt column and then hope it stays on there while you drive, or in Foximus case, while racing

I dont care if you buy my hubs or not, they are a PITA to make, with no profit they cost so much to make. The machinist who makes them for me is the only shop in Toronto I know of who can cutinside splines, He is a very good guy and a first class enthusiast ( currently building a retromod 1960's Manx dunebuggy with a 2.4 Ecotec and Porsche Trans with upgraded suspension etc)

Ronnie is now making up a couple of hubs for me, to 70 mm pcd for the NRG q-d. We have looked at this deal many times and it is shocking to us that someone would hammer a splined hub with no master spline onto a column with a master spline. AND no tapered seat.

Thats the last I will say on this subject. Be safe. Stay stock if you cant afford to do it correctly

ya no it will not work well for our car. It can bolt on and drive but if you keeping your horn don’t use a nrg hub. The wires for the horn is to tall for the hub to bolt on fully so what it does is it bolt up crooked and when you turn it the blinker and window wiper switch will move up and down and you can hear something either crack or grind on the clock spring. So don’t use a nrg hub.
