if I may... what does a "racing wheel" have that a stock one doesn't? (I guess I'm asking... "why?")

if your car came originally with an air bag

and you have a wheel on there without an airbag

bottom line it is illegal, cop can give you equipment for not having safety equipment

if you have an **** insurance company they probably wont insure you either

do the injectors shoot the nitrous in your face, or in your pants, or just in the general direction of the car's cabin?

I never thought to put nitrous injectors on the steering wheel... I thought they went in the intake manifold

i think if you unplug the air bag you will get that SRS light on all the time.

Isn't it legal to have the airbag disabled though? I know my friend had it done to his car by the dealer after his g/f got messed up by an airbag.

He no speaka engleshh!! HAHA

I can see it now. Man killed in car crash. Evidence points towards his custom steering wheel that was designed to shoot gas in his face. We are being told by authorities that the gas is indeed Nitrous Oxide commonly known as NOS. The coroner is ruling this a suicide by overdose. Now we go to Bob reporting live from McInhale Rehab where he is talking to other extreme huffers..Bob..!!


Sorry to flame I just couldnt help myself.

I think its funny when you can flame on this guy for being ambivalent with his wording yet you can start a thread asking pricing on strut installs when you probably know well and good what it costs to get the job done

...because I asked that question I've since found out the labor guide has a typo in it. It's listed as 5.9hrs, were it should list it more like 1.9hrs for the spring & strut R&R.

so you may now bite me.
