I use these mech. gloves from quaker state, alls I had ta do was fill out a postcard, mail it in, and wait. Not the BEST grip, but non the less, better than b4. Just curious as to what others use when autoX'n or drift'n? Or do you just cling on 4 dear life :p

i wrapped my steering wheel with pleather. seems to help out a bit. might replace the wheel with something better.
otherwise, i drive bare handed. might get some simpson gloves or something for next season though.

Bought them on an impulse when I got my helmet and they are worth every cent. They have lived through several track days and many touge nights without a single blemish. Bang for your buck. They just don't have any funny engrish on them a la Signals' "Yes, We Promise!"

Hmmm, I've never thought of wrapping the steering wheel, but it'd make sense. I guess my common sense as of lately isn't up to par :hs:

Which brings me to my next question, what kind of helmet do you use? My friend lucked out, he had one that his brother had from awhile back, and apparently is the last year to pass the current saftey rating.. snull rating or sumthing, helmets/saftey=notmything

I prefer Bare hands, there was a post about this a wihle back I recall....or something to do with gloves and what everyone uses or prefers. I have used a couple different types of gloves more like a Motocross Style glove, my latest are DaKine Pipe Gloves for snowboarding, but they hve super grippy palms and some other nice features but i like the feel of the wheel on my bare hands.

Bare hands always seem to fail when I try to countersteer quickly

the gloves I use:
1) Black leather gloves (for driving sometimes and also for the cold winter nights)
2) These Blue gloves with wooly insides (for snowboarding n' snow stuff)
3) gardening gloves (for automotive work, and yes, gardening;))
TheSnail: Quit post whoring, start making more since. Keep it up and you will be banned.
OJ:as you can see the glove doesn't fit
When I drive with bare hands for a while , my palms get quite sweaty and my hands get stuck to the steering wheel

i use my good old fox motocross gloves! i've used some simpson's before but i don't need fireproof gloves with the half sleeve on them so the MX gloves work great. couple those with my $10 velcro walmart shoes (ummm i mean DRIVING shoes :D) and i'm JDM Tyte when i hit the mountains!

What kinda gloves? I guess it depends on whether you say I am working or driving. Come to think about it, no it doesn't... I work barehanded and have the scars cuts and burns to prove it, but WHEN I wear gloves to drive (rare occurrence) I wear a pair of Nike Football receiver's gloves, shitload of grip in the palms/fingers and they look damn cool too...
lbcklik1486
01-27-2004, 07:31 PM
haha, yea football gloves are a pretty good idea. Dousan, thnx 4 the info. what if anything are special about the kei office/sparco ones? I'd assume just better trim(fit) and good grip in the right places? Correct me if I'm wrong please:hs:

I think that dousan is sooo cool that I had to copy him!!! HAHAHAHA... Just Kidding...I needed the cool pink Kei Office gloves to match the car (eventhough the car is much brighter) But I really like the gloves, they fit well since they are small...

check out their website
http://www.signalauto.co.jp/SIGNAL_ORIGINAL_goods.html#glove
I think im gonna grab the red ones....hmm or the blue but probly the red,hehe
but I dont think they have a mesh material that ur asking about.
I was just saying I hate when I get sweaty palms when Im driving/drifting bare handed.
this shop is getting in a whole bunch of signal stuff, and I think signal is cool/is a respected company so Im gonna go with them,but damn I wouldent mind some Keiichi green kei office ones, damn sweet :rawk:

does autolink motorworks (or motorsports?) have a website, I was searching then found autolinkmotorworks.com but the thing aint working, interested in getting some doriking green kei office gloves, because the signal gloves are the same price $60 and dousan said they are 75 now? and dam Ill probly have to pay for shipping,but anyway just wanna check em out first before I go ahead and pick up the signal gloves.

whoooaaa man...pink gloves? haha ur kinda pushing it there...:coolugh:
if its gonna be kei office its gotta be green! $60 is pretty cheap and i wasnt making a direct reference to your particular purchase with my comment, but yeah, expensive JDM tyte gloves do improve driving skills by at least 125%, how do you think Keiichi got so good? it wasn't something in the water i'll tell you that much...
