T Montague's 2zr swap - '08 m/t sedan some extra info

Wow, that's even farther than mine! I'm going to have to put a few items back to stock-ish configuration for SCCA rules (windshield cowl, dashboard, etc.) and I have a competition weight requirement of 2400 lbs. I plan on removing a significant amount of the dash wiring as well.

What steering wheel hub and quick release did you go with? I got an NRG short hub and their SFI-rated Gen2.0 one-hand quick release. Pretty slick setup with minimal loss of space.

I don't remember the exact model I went with but they are both NRG parts and have worked fine for my purpose. The steering wheel was always too far away from me and I now find it in the perfect position, although I would prefer it to be a bit lower.

Too bad you have to be no lower than 2400 lbs. The chassis is wild below 2000lbs. It becomes so much easier to control even when pushed 10/10ths and past the limit. On technical road courses it handles the chicanes well as it is very easy to change its direction.
