That's what I'm getting at. I used to be one of those 'buy the best or get outa here' and as I move along in life/cars/things I'm beginning to realize as long as you're having fun it's all that matters. Too many of the younger guys get caught up with fitting in, rather than just having fun.

There is no such thing as "ballin on a budget". You can look good on a budget, but if you wanna ball, you gotta pay to play.

It really does not matter if the car isn't being driven hard. I swear to God though, if your ebay hub and steering wheel fail and your car slams into mine, I will find you and shove both up your fucking ass. The only time anyone else should give a fuck about what brand of parts someone has when there is a sale going on (which is when you should inspect said product for proper stamps/if they market a fake as a brand name product etc...)

The quality of the ebay Hubs and Quick Releases are not bad at all, they are actually really nice for the price you pay
its funny to see people say that eBay hubs and q.r.s are shitty when 3/4 of the people out there are using NRG's
NRG was a HUGE eBay/rep company trying to make money and guess what, they are one of the largest companies out there for hubs and quick releases, there steering wheels are mid entry level products and their harnesses and seats are not the best. But the quality is still there.

That's what bugs me the most.
it's one thing to buy reps and budget priced parts and claim they are the real thing, but at the end of the day there is nothing wrong with buying ISIS suspension arms or a Megan Exhaust. As long as the quality is there and the part was made properly I see no issue.

What bugs me is why people won't use Grant Steering Wheels or Simpson Harnesses.

Steering wheels is not something someone should cheap out on
you can get a nice steering wheel for around 150$, same with harnesses
I have g-force cam lock harnesses, decent prices but still a quality strap

My point is how is Grant "cheaping out". They are proven and have been around for 90 fucking year s (1922). They are an oem provider and have hundreds of designs and styles. They have wheels for as little as $50 right up to $500.


Yet stupid import kids would rather have a tinfoil ebay wheel....for the same price.

ya grant wheels... sold in auto zone.. where your all buying your "OEM" replacement parts? Then drive to Walmart and buy their brand bread, cereal and other crap instead of spending the extra 10$ at the mom and pop shop on mainstreet so you can afford your "legit" wheels to hardpark in.
These threads make me LOL.

I dont know if your head is just stuck to far up your ass to see it or not, but those Ebay QR's and hubs are garbage. Sure they "work", that doesnt mean they are decent. Two of my friends put them in their cars, and both QR's have a ton of play/wobble. Thats not safe, thats not ok, and thats not "really nice"... I wouldnt put one on my car if I was paid to do so. I had an ebay hub on my S14 when I bought it, and it was garbage to.. Again lots of wobble that shouldnt be there.

Point being, steering is one huge aspect of a car that shouldnt have shortcuts taken on it... Ive seen the ebay wheels/QR's/hubs and they are all shit... Save up a little longer, keep rocking your stock wheel for a few extra weeks, then buy some quality parts. I can gaurentee you will be 100 times happier in the end.

I guess, your all bitching about buying knockoffs and not supporting legit companies yet you all support chain businesses and other crap in one way or another. People will always look for cheap ways around things in life wether its buying knockoffs or shopping at places that mass produce for cheaper and the little man looses out in the end.

1. Head not up ass just stating facts
2. I never said eBay parts are "nice" just saying there are things that you can purchase for a cheaper price and not have an issue
3. I've been rocking an eBay hub with qr for a while with no issues with wobbling. I plan on upgrading to something nicer but again I've had no problem with my setup, but I will say the wheel my friend gave me is crap and I have a personal on the way
4. Ive never been the person to cheap out on parts because I didn't have the money, I just refuse to pay top dollar for certain parts just because they have a reputable name stamped on it when you can purchase something of the same quality for alot less.

I am in no way saying cheap parts or rep parts are better or that they are ok and reliable. All I'm stating is something's don't need to be top dollar items when there is similar quality in a part that's half the price.

it all comes down to QUALITY.

also I never said grant wheels are crap.
the low end models they make are indeed crap but they do have some nicer products under their name.

How am I a bandwagon jumper? I ditched the single slammer reluctantly because it was falling apart and was going to start costing more money than it was worth to fix. I had a spare dual cam lying around so I swapped that shit in. Bandwagon jumpers are the diehard sr20 fanboys, and the noobs that come onto the forum asking for spoon fed info on everything after starting completely useless threads.
