yeah i was sitting in my car thinking, how ugly this steering wheel is. then i think what the F**K happens to the air bag if i take this wheel off? ever wonder? so i am asking WTF happens to the air bag? does it go off, do i throw it away? do Aftermarket wheels support my airbag? WTF happens to the shlt?

 

If you disconnect it properly, it won't go off. People regularly replace their wheel with the evo one, I'm sure could find a way to put a sparco or momo one on.

 

still doesn't answer my question. but the evo switch i have thought of.


"What happens to the airbag when i take my steering wheel off?"

 

Well if you put on the evo wheel, you get a new airbag and if you get a sparco or momo wheel, you don't have an airbag.

 

the airbag is a piece of the steering wheel. you cant put it in a different steering wheel.

will it go off when you remove the wheel, yes if you don't unplug it correctly. if you unplug it before removing the wheel, it will not go off. you will then need to make a choice with your "new" steering wheel .. w/airbag or without. Evo8 or evo7 steering wheels come with an airbag (if they aren't deflated).. and you'll have a new steering wheel with a working airbag. if you get one like sparco or momo (as ambystom01 mentioned), it won't have an airbag and you'll be without an airbag.

 

awesome now i know! so where do i get an evo 8 or evo 7 wheel with airbag? how much that gonna cost?

 

Disconnect battery and wait 5 minutes. Dont have to worry about the airbag going off during removal

 

you can get them at the stealership for about 1200 for an evo8 one I believe ..

or

you can search for one in the for sale area .. such as:

evo7 steering wheel
evo8 wheel
evo8 wheel

edit: phantom you should pm josh@jive - he's parting his car back to stock and is anxious to sell his aftermarket parts. he's the evo7 link i gave ya. i like the evo7 wheel more myself

 

or u can keep ur stock steering wheel since it's not that bad looknig...and plus ur saving money

 

... that steering wheel ( in our car ) is prolly worth 800 bucks... if you can find some with a deployed steering where air back...
