drift steering wheel

[PapaSmurf2k3]

correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure that momentum isn't what makes the difference, it torque. the longer handle provides more torque since torque is force times distance

He wasn't saying momentum... he was saying moment arm, which is a big fancy (and quite frankly... stupid) engineering term for leverage. Its a word for how far away the force is from the origin, or pivot point. In Engineering classes, they often use the word "moment" for torque. Why, I don't know... because nobody ever f***ing uses it once we get out of the classes.

the steering wheel improving drifting is a lie....................it actually makes you a nascar driver its perfect for taking nothing but all those sweet left hand turns

yes! you have figured it out!

for the dude that mentioned a 370mm nardi OUCH!!! Holy crap thats a big wheel ya trade it for anything and everything... i'm a steering wheel whore I have a bunch of Nardis and s*** but I normally rock 330's.. right now I'm rocking stock though in the Sil cuz a stock wheel is nice for DDing and I'm to lazy to take the stock wheel off and throw another one of mine on haha.

Keegan, I didn't mean lock to lock angle decreases, i meant u have to cover less ground to get there, because the circumferance of the wheel is smaller. its like ur hands dont have to run as far so its percieved as faster. Lol I know it does nothing for steering angle.

Jeff you read my statement wrong. Moment is torque, it's a statics term. Torque is force * moment arm length. Increase one and the other needs less.

Haha papasmurf, i still use that term. durrrrrrr dee durrrrrrrrrrrr ill keep ninjaediting

i was trying to make the same point earlier. its like running around the diameter of a 10m circle compared to a 5m circle. you can run the smaller circle faster of course.

as for my "correction", apparently i just don't know how to read

i also got one of these because my stock one had tears all around it. mine was all black. it actually feels really firm. i dont know about if it improves anything (i doubt it) i dont plan on drifting or anything with it.

I <3 my 360mm Nardi classic w/ HKB hub.

Don't get that BOSS crap... s*** will fall apart on you. Go with HKB.. they don't cost that much and are strong as heck.

I drove my buddy's 240 last week (first time driving a stock 240sx wheel in a LOOONG time) and it felt like i was driving one of those go carts from Autotopia @ Disneyland, lmao.
