Scooter Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 does anyone know if you can straight swap from a standard 4 spoke steering wheel to a later three spoke wheel. If both have airbags, does this matter? can you just disconnect and reconnect the airbag somehow? Or is this a non starter? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipeout Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 BANG!!! (Air bag going off) Sorry Scott to stoop to this level but some one was going to crack a joke. Personally I would never fancy touching air bag bits, but they must be reasonably safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Not thinking of doing it myself! Just wondered if its a relatively simple job for someone who knows what they are doing. I can't see why the column mounting would be any different and i think the airbag can be replaced / renewed, so it can't be too difficult can it?

livvy Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 You might find that the plug on the late airbag is different to that on the earlier model and so it won't be a simple matter of just plugging it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 I see. I've found a max power type guide to replacing a airbag'd wheel, and it seems like it would be relatively straight forward to get to the unplugging of the airbag stage so i spose i could have a look at both. Does anyone with a parts CD have a picture of this plug on it? BTW the car i'm looking at is a 96 Facelift (4 spoke wheel) and my current car (three spoke wheel) is a 98 facelift. Does anyone know when the change happened or were they an option etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 The really late Corrolla sports have a very nice air bag wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 thing is i like the factory option carbon fibre one in my current sup and wouldn't mind fitting that to my potential new one. I'm not bothered about having the airbag myself, but i'd want it all ok in the one i'd be selling on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 The steering wheel on my 98 supra, and the one on my girlfriends Yaris are almost excatly the same shape, The steering wheel is exactly the same. It would be nice to put a new looking air bag/centre cover on the supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
