Flipfinger Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Got a horrible airbagged steering wheel on my Supra, I want to change it for something a little more stylish (sans air bag) - what do I need to worry about? Airbag lights etc? I want to get rid of the passenger bag too, presumably that's easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Kasir Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Why on earth would you want to do that?? Not a big fan of driver / passenger safety? Honestly, if involved in a smash I would rather have an airbag there to protect me. Maybe someone does an aftermarket airbag wheel that looks a bit better??

Flipfinger Posted September 1, 2001 Author Share Posted September 1, 2001 I sit really close to the steering wheel, an airbag (if they are to go off) would do more damage than good - ruptured spleen etc. And the passenger one is just in case we ever carry the baby in the passenger seat. Plus, having a snap-off boss would be super for security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 You can get a MOMO wheel and Snap-Off kit. First thing I did with my MKIV is disable the air-bags. Hate the thought of the things. A mate once who had a minor frontal and his bag went off. It came over all white and draped over him. For a moment he thought he'd died and gone to heaven.

Flipfinger Posted September 2, 2001 Author Share Posted September 2, 2001 Yeah, don't want the added complication of getting shot in the stomach as well as being in a car crash! How difficult is it to disable them? Does it make a light appear on the dash or anything? I too am thinking of the MOMO route, as the chrome gear knob looks oh so sexy already...

Guest Ash Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 Just unplug the things and remove the air-bag warning bulb Yours, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Have you got details of the Snap Off kit you used as I have been trying to get one for an Airbag/Cruise control car for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
