So i finally got around to installing a new steering wheel and it was alot easier than i had imagined. Ilooked up old threads for tips and asked a few guys who had done it as well.

For anyone thinkin of doin it i definately recomend it. my stock one was ugly and old. This is way better!

 

Looks good but I hope the car isn't your DD. No airbags FTMFL.

 

thats dope...

but +1, no more airbag. Ehhhh "shrug*, cant make an omelet w/o crackin a few eggs lol

 

looks good, but is that a transformers emblem in the center?????????

 

looks good man nice work

 

fixed.
but ive been in 5 totaled car accidents, and never had an airbag go off.

 

Airbag face vs shoulderbelt bruising.... hmm flip a coin they both suck.

Nice looking steering wheel.

 

TRUE!!

 

Ive know more people that die from airbags! Not a good thing.

 

Well I got a momo wheel, by far better than stock....

 

Looks great..Im ditchn my wheel Im not a fan of airbags..I looked everywhere for a tamper proof T-50 had to order mine from craftsman 2 weeks ago.still waitn...Did you rig up your horn and cruise controls..im in the mist of extending wires now..

 

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF EXTENDING THEM AS WELL! AND THE TAMPER PROOF TORX I ORDERED A SET ON EBAY AS WELL.

 

How bad is the gap where the hub adapter and stock housing meet..

 

Not bad at all! im sure you have seen others who have made a cover for it but its not much really. And its only the bottom so its not really visable.

 

Thats what i thought..im gonna pull the gauge cluster and take the airbag light out and I guess doall leds while its off....are you gonna use the stock horn button or relocate one..

 

nice set up!, i'll be doin mines pretty soon! i guess i'll have to do what u did n look up old threads to see how to install lol

 

i was gona do a write but didnt. Srry. Let me know when you get to it. Super easy.

 

**** airbags.

 

Lol yeah really +1

 

nice..but def need a airbag lol

 

All I herd there was i definatly need an airbag.

 

I recall reading an article some time ago saying that if you are over 6'3, airbags tend to make things worse in a crash. I'm currently using a momo in one of my A32's - might do the same in my other one (i'm 6'6).

 

i want to change mine, my oem is beat up bad, do they care come inspection time??

 

I been in an accident before where the airbag deployed. Fawking thing deployed and hit me in the face...force of airbag impact was so hard i ended up hitting the back of my head against the side pillar where the seatbelts are located...freakin cracked the back of my head open.

Funny thing was the airbags deployed AFTER inital impact and not during

lol the air bag beat me up

As long as u got seat belts man, u good

 

yes.

 

I like the steering wheel but what about airbags?

 

uh...since somone said yes alreaady i would say say it depends what state your in cuz my answer is a definate no here in Texas. Well at least in most counties except for a few.

 

What about them?! Cars didnt alays have em right? Would you drive a classic 67 Mustang or a 58 Corvette? Heck yeah u would!! FYI they dnt have airbags!

 

Glad you were able to figure it all out REAL1. Good job.

 

Time to cover up the gap/hole at the bottom??

 

hey, that looks good ! during your research did you come across any really good how to's ? I really need to go ahead and swap stocky for an aftermarket. looks good - i like

 

Just do a quick search there's a how to about it.

 

I hate airbags myself. I was driving my gf's Camry, and the one time I actually wear my glasses (usually wear contacts) some lady goes through a stop sign and I t-boned her. Airbags broke my glasses on my face.

 

Ouch!

 

That looks really slick. My steering wheel is falling apart. I wish I could afford an aftermarket one :/

 

Get in a bad accident and you'll be glad you didn't get one. If anything swap a 98 max steering wheel into your 96. The look of the 98+ looks better than the aftermarket one he posted and guess what? You still have an airbag lol.

 

To each his own i guess. Its all good!

 

Um, not true. If your car was equipped with a factory airbag then its is required for inspection.

 

steering wheel is so sick...i need to get one of those

 

In Austin Yes! Not here in Bell county. They dnt even have the Emissions deal here like they do there. Many cities dnt have that program yet!
