Backpack for Steering Wheel

[21Nemesis]

I will be getting my aftermarket steering this week. So, I am in search of a backpack so that I can strap the steering wheel onto it when I am not in the car. Any one know of any good ones. I was looking at this one by Oakley:

Thanks!

[MTalon]

which one does lil bow wow use in Tokyo drift?

on a side note, check out dakine. They always have kick ass bags

[!Zar!]

Why do you need to show that you have a detachable steering wheel?

Shit will only get you clowned on and nobody will think you're cool.

Put the shit in your backpack.

Or even better yet, put a QR lock on your car and leave the shit inside.

[xblack240x]

Honestly I thought I was the shit when I first did that. All it does is make you get clowned on as well as brings more attention to your car. As zar has said, just put it in your bag or get a QR lock and leave that shit inside...

I have also order a QR lock, so don't worry. And, I'm not doing it for the "cool factor", I would much rather keep the steering wheel with me as much as possible. And, as far as putting it in my backpack; I've got enough books to carry around from my grad program. So, putting it on the outside of the pack is the easiest thing.

[!Zar!]

"So Mr. whoeverthefuckyouare. Do you drive a Ferrari or something to warrant carrying your steering around with you?"

Yes, yes I do.

"Oh really, what do you drive?"

A nissan 240sx.

"A what? OHH. The car I bought my wife years back! Why the hell would someone steal that?"

Because my car is the shit.

*class and janitor laugh at you*

[Jonnyblaze]

it wont make you cool.. trust everyone

and why you would want you steering wheel with you otherwise is beyond me

[!Zar!]

I'm going to start taking the handlebars off my motorcycle and start carrying them around with me.

[C. Senor]

^lol. i do that with my bicycle. yeah i'm just that cool.....lol.








but yeah put it in your backpack. unless you're lil bow wow it's against the law to carry it like a douche.

[lok]

It wont make you look cool now and with all the knock off works bell hubs out, it really isnt a theft deterant anymore b/c the people that scout our cars will know that any ball type knock off will work.

About 3-4 years ago when the works bell was the only option and no copies avail then taking the steering wheel to class and making it easier to get out of your bucket seat and roll caged car made it a cool factor.

I drove mine for the last two years of college and strapped it to my bag and then the works bell wheel lock came out so i just put up in the roll cage.

[spoolandslide]

simple solution!

throw your wheel in your trunk

[240=180]

lol..... any backpack that has a skateboard holder

[floodo1]

maybe theft isnt much of an issue where you guys live but around me doods would break into your car just to steel the wheel if you left it in there.

I have no advice on what bag to get, but get something big enough to put the wheel IN, not strapped to it please.

[!Zar!]

Don't put the steering wheel in plain view.

Put it in the trunk.

Last I heard, people steal cars and stereo's, not steering wheels.

[svensko]

Don't put the steering wheel in plain view.

Put it in the trunk.

Last I heard, people steal cars and stereo's, not steering wheels.

I guess you could say the situation has taken a TURN in the wrong direction? :rolleyes:

[Matej]

Made me think of Mr. Bean. He always took his steering wheel haha.

[derek_s13]

matej wins 'cause i watched all 10 minutes and 1 second of that, and now have to find my mr. bean dvd

[xelitex]

Do whatever you like...its your life and everyones opinion on here are just letters on a screen..if you like to rock your steering wheel then do so..at the end of the day..its your money you spend on your bag and its your security level knowing you have your steering wheel with you. gl finding a bag you like ^_^

[SimpleSexy180]

Don't put the steering wheel in plain view.

Put it in the trunk.

its fucking socal. they'll steal your wheel if you have it laying somewhere in your car. come on, stealing or stealing stuff from a 240? they obviously know what kind of parts are useful to SELL again.

haha but really though if your breaking into a car for a radio and its 240.. try a camry or civic. better luck there

[seto_s14]

just throw it in your trunk. if your trunk only opens with keys, score

[joshchewuhh]

i use a jansport and it fits fine i have a nardi 330mm

[fliprayzin240sx]

Thats what I used to do with my steering wheel, toss it in the trunk, flip the toggle switch so you cant pop the trunk from the inside. You'll have to use a key to open the trunk or crawl thru the back seat...

[gregfarz78]

trunk is one of the first places a theif will look its not hard to pop the lock out of the trunk lid either

[braingone]

I use my steering wheel as a belt buckle . I like having the two things that are important to me in the same area. Har Har :D

[thestreetzking]

back pack? haha i wear my shit around my neck, but i mean you will still probably not look cool

[clark]

i just slide mine under the passenger seat if i park in the slums.

[ZX88]

I'm going to start taking the handlebars off my motorcycle and start carrying them around with me.

put a chain on it and wear it around your neck. it will be the next big thing. lol


i put mine under the seat too or in the trunk.

[norbac]

be environment friendly, carry it in a reusable trader joes bag, think green, lol

[D1GP]

back pack? haha i wear my shit around my neck, but i mean you will still probably not look cool

wutcha talking about? flava flavvvvv gets all the beezies!

[pr0ject TRUENO]

i take my steering wheel with me

i get weird looks

if you leave it in the car you risk the chances of a thief taking it or stealing your car with it. not to mention you're screwed if your car gets broken into and the thief takes your steering wheel.

[!Zar!]

It'd be funny if thieves start stealing lug nuts.

Then you'd be screwed.

[s14kouki_]

It'd be funny if thieves start stealing lug nuts.

Then you'd be screwed.
seen it happen to some kics projects. with a snap on they were off in like 3min. wheels were bent in so atleast driver wouldnt try to drive it

[duffman1278]

I have a shorty's backpack that works well. Fits my steering wheel fine inside.

[Jordn]

You wanna strap the wheel ONTO the bag? As in not put it INTO the bag? So basically you want everyone to see it yeah? Fit straps to the thing and wear it as a backpack.

Hahahahahahahahahaaa. Fuck thats made my day.

Just wear it round your neck, with any luck it'll cut off some oxygen supply, your brain doesn't seem to be using it.

[FaLKoN240]

^lol. i do that with my bicycle. yeah i'm just that cool.....lol.

but yeah put it in your backpack. unless you're lil bow wow it's against the law to carry it like a douche.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs

Yeah, umm who cares if he wanna take his wheel around with him? It's his personal choice, I actually thought of it as well.

It only takes one time for someone to steal your wheel from you, then you'll wish you had a bag for it.

When thieves do smash and grabs (which has happened to me) they take everything that isn't bolted down to the car, so if they stole my wheel I'd be fucked and have to wait for a friend with a QR steering wheel or wait to get all the tools to put the stock wheel back on.

He's got a decent idea.

[a_ahmed]

That mr beans video was frickin AWESOME lol thank you

[zugoi]

haha first thing that came to mind was bow wow from tokyo drift. like everyone else said. Anyone know a good backpack i can put my faceplate in?Did you seriously need to start a thread for this. If hes so original why would he want to get the opinion of others tellin him what to buy.

[piranhamatt]

Probably because he was asking for a backpack that already had the capability to easily strap a wheel to. You added nothing but trash to this thread, zugoi (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=15118).

As mentioned before, skateboard backpacks will work wonderfully.

[DUFFM4N]

when i used to have my EF9, i used one of those NITTO drawstring bags that they would hand out at HIN for free...because at the time i was still daily driving it and parking it at places that worried me, it was big enough to hold the steering wheel and that was it

and i didnt look like a fuckin loser walking around the mall holding my steering wheel. people THINK they look cool because they walk around with that shit so people can say "OMG! is that your steering wheel?! thats so crazy!"...but really, you look stupid

[dolphin]

why worry about getting clowned on would you rather get clowned on or know that your car is not gonna get jack? i know thives can bring ther eown bla bla bla bla i take my steering off at work i get clowned on once in a while but hey once i explain they say thats a good idea

[iluvpandas4]

I used to keep mine in the trunk but then I realized a thief would probably search my car for the steering wheel. Even with a QR lock they'd still probably take the steering wheel and sell it for money. So now I carry it in my dickies backpack when I go out. Lucky for me I have a small campus so I just leave the wheel in my dorm when I'm not out driving. I have a deep dish steering wheel and it fits nicely in my backpack even with my books and notebooks.

+1 for education lol

[Jordn]

Know what works for me? Leaving my steering wheel attached to my steering column. That way, no-one steals my steering wheel, I don't have to buy a bag, and I don't walk around looking like a douche because I've got a fucking Nardi on my back or something.

Its only a matter of time before some dude runs up behind you and tries to 'turn' you, using your ears as turn signal stalks. :bigok:

[SignalAutodrifter_D]

i cant believe you are serious....

[blaze1]

I use to hand cuff mine to my left hand.

never got annoying unless i was typing and i would take it off and handcuff it to my ankle.

brought alot of good laughs, kinda like jack chan in rush hour.

[origin_s135]

its fucking socal. they'll steal your wheel if you have it laying somewhere in your car. come on, stealing or stealing stuff from a 240? they obviously know what kind of parts are useful to SELL again.

yeah for real, i'm not going to leave my steering wheel in my car when i lock the hub; that's retarded! thieves will search the car, i don't give a fuck if someone laughs at me, i don't know them, they don't know me, if it really gets down to it i'll knock a mother fucker out with it. but whatever, go ahead and leave it in the car then, if that shit gets jacked with your cd deck then go take the bus back home.

[burnsauto]

but remember. zilvians don't like people laughing at them, thats why they drive crappy 240s anyways. ;)

[handinpants]

what school do you goto on which nights?

[Mangudai]

Cant say I blame you, many cars have been stolen from schools around here for years.

[silviaguy240]

i just got the $20 jansport and a nardi deepcorn and it fits fine with a few books

[Flipzide]

my jansport backpack had these strap things on the back and i just locked mine in.

i used to carry it around with me on campus... i always got people asking me about it, mostly girls ironically.

i stopped cuz i got lazy attaching and unattaching the wheel everytime i had to get a book out.

funny thing is that in my speech class we had this q&a session after a presentation.. someone went way off topic and asked about why i carry my steering wheel around, hahahahaha. then people started giving out their own conclusions they came up with through the semester about why i carried it around. it was entertaining.

[blueshark123]

I use to hand cuff mine to my left hand.

never got annoying unless i was typing and i would take it off and handcuff it to my ankle.

I would just handcuff it to somewhere inside the car. That way no one can steal the steering wheel and u wont look like an asshat carrying it around.

[xblack240x]

No no I'm not saying its a bad idea to take your steering wheel with you. Search, I made a thread similar to this one awhile back. I have a 350mm that fits in my regular jansport bag that already has a 2" binder and one or two books. Makes the bag look a little funny but most of the time I only have my binder so you can't even notice its there.

[DohcKA]

I'm going to start taking the handlebars off my motorcycle and start carrying them around with me.

i can ride my bike with no handle bars no handle bars... haha do it zar it'd be pimp

NORTHFACE backpacks... there are plenty of them out there... and yes most skater backpack will work

[SinisterSntra91]

go to best buy and buy a book bag that is made to have a lap top and store it in there should have enough room. My swiss (people who make the army knife) book bag is real nice and has mass room for my lap top and chit but their bags are like $80.

[PhAtXSuMo]

didnt bow wow have a backpack for his steering wheel in tokyo drift lmao


i brought my steering wheel to school once ONCE... i got made fun of all day =(

[mondojackal]

the bow wow thing's already been said. and if you care what people think in high school, you've got bigger problems than if you should carry your steering wheel around with you or not.

[murda-c]

caring what your friends think is perfectly normal, and no one likes to be made fun of.

[airsoft]

Put that shit on your dash when u disconnect it.

[adrians_s13]

Park your car.

Remove steering wheel.

Chain your steering wheel to the nearest bike rack.

Done.

[SW20Racer]

i'd rather just have a steering wheel no one in their right mind would want to use and just leave it in the car....

(yes that is a hand throttle)

[iluvpandas4]

yeah for real, i'm not going to leave my steering wheel in my car when i lock the hub; that's retarded! thieves will search the car, i don't give a fuck if someone laughs at me, i don't know them, they don't know me, if it really gets down to it i'll knock a mother fucker out with it. but whatever, go ahead and leave it in the car then, if that shit gets jacked with your cd deck then go take the bus back home.


haha sometimes I carry my steering wheel with me when I get back and it's dark out around my campus (too many girls get mugged around my campus cuz it's close to a dangerous neighborhood). it serves as a good self-defense weapon, one swing into the face and you're good. :bigok:

[ZX88]

I use to hand cuff mine to my left hand.

beter yet handculf it to your hand when you are walking around. You have to be careful people might see you holding a steering wheel and try to mug then take the steering wheel to the parking lot to match it to the car.lol.:bite: ::ghey:

[Rayne]

caring what your friends think is perfectly normal, and no one likes to be made fun of.

Who is no one? I do not know of any one named no one.

Speak for yourself, if you are making a general reference. A large number of people do not care about what other people think of them.

[21Nemesis]

what school do you goto on which nights?

I go to Cal State LA. For the summer I'm there Mon & Wed. nights.

Also, I am thinking of going with one of the Dakine backpacks that someone had mentioned. It looks awesome, plus it's got a "hydration" system in it, like the Camlebacks!

[bboyoracle]

Only one way to carry a steering wheel. In your carbon fiber backpack

Sorry you obviously don't understand what normal means.

And to correct my previous statement, most people do not enjoy being made fun of.

I care what my friends think, that's why they're my friends.

[SexPanda]

Man just put it on a lanyard and call it a big ass keychain... Lol. My buddy was actually going to do that with the steering wheel in his rx7

[Teddy]

I carried mine around for one day at school before I found an easier solution. I left it in my car...


With my QR lock.

you know i actually had it taken from me once going into a government building. security spotted it x-raying my backpack and the security guard lady remarked i could bash someone over the head with it.

[FaLKoN240]

With my QR lock.

This is what I do, but sometimes I feel stupid leaving my $200 steering wheel out in the open...

[darkevildrifter]

Do you have a bucket seat? I think it looks even more retarded to have a QR with out a bucket seat...and use the reason "its easyer to get out of my car"...unless your really really fat...doesnt really fly..but if thats the case then just get a tilting hub...

[Jordn]

I have a cage with door bars, bucket seat and dished wheel and get in fine without a QR hub. I used to have a QR on my S14 and took the wheel off all the time because I thought it looked cool. It didn't.

[sr20kouki]

i cant belive this thread is still open

[S13_OneVia]

This quote here is a good enough reason alone to atleast put it INSIDE the bag and out of plain view. You dont wan't anyone to know that you have a QR, or a bunch of people talkin about "the guy that has a steering wheel strapped to his backpack to keep people from stealing his car." I'd really think of another solution.

[adrians_s13]

lol... I was at Stonewood Mall last week.. and some kid walked in holding his steering wheel w/ qr. It was an ebay steering wheel w/ bride horn. hahahaha omglol

[UfoZ8myCow]

I'm going to start taking the handlebars off my motorcycle and start carrying them around with me.

Well that wouldn't be a big deal for thieves to get at still. I mean... I can ride my bike with no handlebars...

[sidewaysil80]

I'm not doing it for the "cool factor", I would much rather keep the steering wheel with me as much as possible.
then make sure it has room for your shift knob.

[dynamicck]

reminds me of the Sage Francis song "Back Packer"
haha

[xelitex]

So I was sent PM stating that I am a "suck up" for saying what I said on this thread and given negative rep....LOL...I'm so sorry I have a mind of my own and don't bash because its "cool" too...and as far as the neg rep for my original statment and whoever gave it to me....."I feel sorry for your mother"...

[honeybadger]

I've seen some kid lose his steering wheel before...

Had to have his car towed home

[jdmstatuS13]

^^^ hahaha whata dumbass.
