Project Momo and NRG

Many people overlook the importance of driving position. There's a saying goes, learn to walk before you run. Instead of focus on the big things eg. performance etc., one must not overlook the basics such as driving position.


I find myself unable to get a good driving position. Due to the length of my legs, I had to sit far away from the steering and when I do, both my arms will be outstretched. Totally uncomfortable and not the safest driving position in case of untoward incidents. Therefore I decided to extend the steering a little closer to me. There were two options, (1) add a steering wheel spacer) or (2) a quick release.

A good steering wheel spacer in the market is the R3 wheel spacer. Costs around RM200+ and it is supposedly, of high quality.

I opted for a quick release kit as not only that it allows me to extend the steering closer, it enables me to release the steering as and when I like. Especially when you're parking unfamiliar places or under a hot sun where you want to cover your precious steering wheel from the scorching sun :)
Bought it from kakimotor, the Quick release is priced around RM200+, quick lock is around RM100 +
Now I enjoy a good driving position :)


Oh as for the steering, i got the MOMO Race- Loving every second of it. Holding a momo while driving it a completely different experience. Try it out yourself :)

This is the NRG quick release CF look :)
