Backpack for Steering Wheel - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

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!

which one does lil bow wow use in Tokyo drift?

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

!Zar! · 07-07-2008, 10:32 PM

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 · 07-07-2008, 10:35 PM

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! · 07-07-2008, 10:56 PM

"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 · 07-07-2008, 10:58 PM

it wont make you cool.. trust everyone

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

!Zar! · 07-07-2008, 10:59 PM

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

C. Senor · 07-07-2008, 11:05 PM

^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* · 07-07-2008, 11:15 PM

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 · 07-07-2008, 11:19 PM

simple solution!

throw your wheel in your trunk

240=180 · 07-07-2008, 11:28 PM

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

floodo1 · 07-08-2008, 12:03 AM

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! · 07-08-2008, 12:14 AM

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?

Matej · 07-08-2008, 02:22 AM

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

You Tube

derek_s13 · 07-08-2008, 02:35 AM

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

xelitex · 07-08-2008, 02:37 AM

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 ^_^

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 · 07-08-2008, 02:41 AM

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

*joshchewuhh* · 07-08-2008, 02:44 AM

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

*fliprayzin240sx* · 07-08-2008, 02:49 AM

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 · 07-08-2008, 05:03 AM

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 · 07-08-2008, 06:49 AM

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

*thestreetzking* · 07-08-2008, 07:05 AM

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

clark · 07-08-2008, 07:07 AM

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

wutcha talking about? flava flavvvvv gets all the beezies!

pr0ject TRUENO · 07-08-2008, 10:13 AM

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.
