Well, I first I was supposed to go to the Vegas Gathering but had to cancel due to training for work at Fort Lewis. Then due to continuing resolution and no budget for the government my training was cancelled on Monday. So I had some time to install the steering wheel components purchased about 3 years ago while in Japan.

Here is the install link I used:

It takes about an hour to do if you have everything on hand. The NRG like other quick releases has two levers that you pull forward toward driver and there is a safety button to release the wheel. It provides an added theft deterrent as well as very easy to enter and exit the vehicle.

I purchased the parts from Crowder Customizing and Jason Howard knows his stuff to provide tech support or advice about different hubs. They also give military discounts.

Another angle to show the NRG hub and quick release.

With the help of a post on the other forum, it made it so easy to install and no air bag light with the addition of a resistor. The horn works great too. I love the look and feel of this size wheel and grip, as well as the position of the wheel is just right now.

Very nice Craig. :thumbsup:
Do you have the Link for the "other forum"?
By quick release you mean you can pop the steering wheel off quickly?
What is the source for that Steering Wheel?

Thanks Cliff! Sorry, here is the link to the other forum and install:

It takes about an hour to do if you have everything on hand. Yes, the NRG like other quick releases has two levers that you pull forward toward driver and there is a safety button to release the wheel.

I purchased the parts from Crowder Customizing and Jason Howard knows his stuff to provide tech support or advice about different hubs. They also give military discounts. I went with the short hub listed on the install link:

3 years !!! Too funny ... I had one on my Honda Civic years ago and loved it ...That was way before AirBags so it was an easy install . It's a perfect look for a ZR1

Thanks and I like the fact that the process can be reversed very quickly and easily if needed for inspection even with the airbag. I was treating the airbag like it was a bomb.

Took the Z out today for first impressions of driving with the Momo Competition 350mm (13.78 inch) steering wheel and NRG short hub/quick release was simply awesome. Really love the addition of the TWM Performance weighted shift knob too! Never thought a different steering wheel would feel so good.

The wheel grip feels great with perforated leather and just the right thickness for my hands. But what I love most is how the slightly smaller steering wheel size allows me more tilt adjustment and getting the perfect position while still being able to see all the gauges on the dashboard. I had the car torn apart after the steering install to install the Euro tail lights and while at it repaired the late model door panel issue on driver side. Trimmed the rubber and added a screw to door panel. Also removed the passenger side door panel to tighten the mirror mount.

Can't wait to track it again. Man, I love this car!

Can't believe you don't remember ... with a grenade we always had a few seconds after pulling the pin to do something with the d*** thing ... with an airbag it's pretty much instantaneous and my reaction time has never been that quick :rolleyes: so yeah, the grenade is safer.

Ha, ha...George, I remember alright and I felt like when I disconnected the air bag I pulled the pin. You would laugh if you could have seen me carrying that thing to the shed. According to our service manual, the air bag has a 6 foot blast area.....ha, ha.:censored: I feel safer without it.
