anyone know where i can get the factory eclipse steering wheel? only reasonable replacement i see...call me a ***** or w/e but i'd like my airbag, especially with all these kids who can't drive these days...never know what might happen on the streets...

 

dealer, or eclipse's forum

 

Dude, thats SOOO weird you posted that. I was talking to my buddy about that yesterday.
First off, isn't the Eclipse steering wheel the same diameter as ours...just shaped different?

Secondly and this is what my friend had said, If your in a serious enough accident to deploy a airbag then your ****ed as it is. haha

 

I have my stock steering wheel off my 97 eclipse GS, but im not sure if you want a 2nd generation or 3rd generation eclipse steering wheel.

 

Just confirmed w/ a dealership. The Ralliart wheel and the Eclipse wheel are the same size. Just shaped different is all. So unless you just want the Eclipse wheel for looks and a slightly LARGER grip then its pointless.

 

well...i just want something mitsu, 3 spoke, with an airbag so i dont' die...

 

easy enough.....don't crash your car.....hehe

 

it's not MY skill i'm worried about, but you know how many idiots are on the road these days...need every bit of reassurance and security you can possibly have

 

Not to get off topic, I like the wheel on my 1st gen. Eclipse. Even though it's factory, it's designed like an aftermarket wheel. I guess airbags were rare in 1991. It's also thin, not bulky, perfect for gripping.

 

I can't stand the RA steering wheel :

A. the damn horn is so small it's a really stupid design.
B. it's stupid 4 points

I'm thinking save up and get the evo steering wheel but it's so expensive
maybe I'll live with the stock one.

 

There are lots of Eclipses around so I would call your local wrecking yard. If they don't have one they should have a computer link that enables them to locate one for you at far less than a new one from the dealer would run you. FWIW I had a 3g GT and liked the leather wheel, it was similar in feel to the wheel I had on my BMW.
