Grip Royal is not made in America. It's a Chinese Corvette C3 Steering wheel that they buy in bulk for like $30 a pop and then spray paint.

$80 C3 Wheel

$190 Grip Royal Yo! Don't worry, when the paint chips, they'll repaint it for $30 + shipping.

I think the best part is that he wants to put a rotary in it.

If it's not a four-rotor then he needs to be taken out back and shot.

I like how you have two pictures of the same wheel, but, using your eye holes, you can see that they're not the same wheel, but you still say that they're the same wheel, even though they're clearly not.

edit: They're NRG wheels, btw. I have two and my buddy has an NRG and we swap them to mess with JDM fanbois. His glows in the dark so it's clearly superior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So we are in agreement then. It's spray painted Chinese crap.

A complete 13BEW with accessories is 420lbs.

This was a big weight savings compared to a vintage LT1's 570lbs or a 594lb 2JZ.

However, compared to aluminum block 4's and LS engines, it's not much of a saving. Certainly not worth what you give up in cost, reliability, power and efficiency.

Some FD3S guys report an overall weight savings going to a LS based engine.

There have also been a shit ton of Rotard S-cars over the years.

If I was doing a small engine S-car, I'd do a 4G63 or K20/24

That wheel is actually a 'brand' that is carried out in Japland as a cheap Chinese knockoff. The metal and overall quality fucking sucks but they're cheap enough to where companies can buy in bulk, spray them and sell them for $125 and still make 200% profit.

Well, one of mine is wrapped in the finest of Corinthian leather and they're both about 4 or 5 years old. But, we can agree that they're not fanboi wheels. Close enough?

I like my Vertex T&E Hell's Racing wheel. I'm one of 'those' people though.

I was going to say...this is a real 180sx. Maybe talk him down a little. Seems very reasonable.
