The last 2 are cheap. Nets are like $20-40, and mounts are not that expensive depending on what Extinguisher you have.

As for the first two, try nasaforums.com, and sccaforums.com for used stuff. May i also suggest a momo hub adapter ($50-75 on edevil) for your car, coupled with an NRG quick release ($50 on edevil) and wheel ($120 on edevil). Granted NRG is a chinese knock off of sparco/momo wheels, their quick releases are super nice, and I'm very impressed with their wheels as well.

So thats, 40 + 75 + 50 + 120 = 285 call it 300 with shipping for almost everything.

good luck!

Just be aware that some of the quick releases allow for play in the steering wheel which can be annoying to some people (me included). The PMNA Cup release does not have any play.

If you watch caefully, used Momo wheels often go for $40-150 vs $120-350 for new ones. Another thing to consider is Momo Marine wheels. They are vinyl, so they don't have the best grip (fixable many different ways) but they are $30-100 new. Mine was $40-something shipped.

How will you be able to pay for race fees, gas, lodging, repairs, if you cannot afford the above stuff? Just curious....

I picked up a brand NEW Momo Monte Carlo wheel for 110 over the holidays. Smaller diameter black leather... great feel for cheap.
