i know you can put an evo wheel with airbag in but i don't think any of the racing wheels have an airbag because they are designed to be used with a racing seat and a racing harness so there is no airbag. also i know its not legal to swap in the evo wheel in the us, don't know about the australian law, but if you want you can remove the airbag and put in a racing wheel its possible, but not legal in the us, but it wouldn't be safe unless you put in racing buckets and harnesses, which i think would actually be safer than a normal 3 point seatbelt and airbag.

are you sure about that? if so, why is it illegal? they both have airbags.

i think its illegal to tamper with the airbag unless you have to replace it because it goes off. same thing with cats, you can't replace them with high flow cats that would pass smog unless the stock one is damaged. and i just heard that, but if i remeber it was from a reliable source, i think scc mentioned that in an article but i don't remeber where i heard it from.

There is a lot of stupid rules down under. We aren't even aloud B.O.V becuase of Noise Pollution and our exhaust can't go any louder than 90db. And if the car next to you can hear your music, than your music is way to loud and the music must not be offensive. There is a lot of stupid rules here. I am surprised that we are aloud to have chrome rims, becuase they can blind other people. lol

Cheers
