i bought the cheap one from Jegs, they have a grant one thats like $99 and in the back with the "dirt track" stuff they have another one thats $34, I got that one. It is 3 bolt pattern but you can buy a 5 bolt conversion plate for like $10 and you're ready to go.

cams...its really pretty easy to do in these cars. just loosen the two bolts (t40) that hold the air bag on, remove the air bag, and then remove the nut holding the wheel on and remove it with a wheel puller. after that remove the lock behind that and you're set. If you plan to use a removable hub then you'll want to trim some of the plastic on the column to give your fingers some clearance to get to the lever. Thats what I did anyways. I'll post a few pics tonight or tomorrow to show what i'm talking about.

That is the link to Bickle's site that slowz28 posted up a few weeks ago. I'm thinking about buying their pro stock wheel with two buttons installed (tbrake and chute)
They also sell a 5 bolt adapter if you have a 3 bolt wheel/hub like mine is.
The quick release hub I mentioned above is NOT on his site, it is from Jegs.... I have no experience with his hub.

here's a few pics of the steering wheel that is in my car now, the quick release mounted to the back of it, the gear that bolts to the stock steering shaft (capped by a nut) and another pic of my finger showing how little clearance there is with a quick release BEFORE you do some clearancing.
Steering wheel as it sits installed currently without clearancing
This is the quick release that bolts to the back of the steering wheel (pull that lever towards the wheel to pull it off)
After you remove the stock wheel and locking mechanism you place this gear on the shaft and finish with the nut and you're ready to go.
This pic was just to show that there is minimal clearance between the plastic on the columb and the back of the quick release before clearancing. I can get my finger in there form a steeper angle a lot easier than directly in from the side.
I bought the two tools nessecary to do the swap when I did mine. You'll need a steering wheel puller, and a Steering wheel lock removing tool. I will sell the lock removing tool to anyone interested for $15+shipping.

btw, if anyone needs any extra info, or pics or anything just let me know.
