momo commando-r steering wheel, momo "automatic" shift ****.
modded the airbag plug with a few resistors to trick the airbag system into thinking the driver bag is still there, so airbag light doesn't remain on and the passenger bag still functions. horn is functional too.

Those combo looks great together. Maybe you should do a write up on moding the airbag plug with the resistors etc.

cost - wheel $?? + steering wheel adapter $80 + $1 resistors from radioshack
torx screws hold the airbag on and you might need a steering wheel puller $15
installation is not hard, but may not be easy for some. had to mod the horn wire and get that and the airbag wire through the little holes in the steering wheel adapter.

there's a thread on the airbag resistor thing here

Yes sir - Very very easy to do. Takes me about 5 minutes to do with the tools on hand.

Whats this with the airbag wire? Does that wheel have its own airbag or something? I wouldnt mind an aftermarket wheel with an airbag

whered you get the hub adapter from? I've heard horror stories from trying to install momo wheels on our cars! But from how you are describing things it was relatively easy?

SIMPLE--YOUR INSURANCE IS ...VOID...NO INSURANCE AT ALL. ALL ACROSS NORTH AMERICA. BTW--I like airbags.

I am pretty sure they made them for aftermarket. I know Momo makes Airbag wheels for OEM in some Mazdas and Subarus. No idea on the cost. You should be able to find something.

Personally, the TransAM style wheel works great for me. Momo would be awesome too.

I like to get a different wheel but drive mine on the streets and would like to have a airbag.

really... thanks to you i just wasted 30 minutes of my life reading my auto insurance policy from front to back. nowhere on my auto policy is an aftermarket steering wheel or removal/tampering with safety equipment even hinted at in terms of exclusions (except for criminal act - see below).

it is referred to in terms of aftermarket parts coverage.

the only relevant claim-denying exclusion i have exposure to is with the nitrous system. if i am in a wreck and cited for street racing because of the nitrous system, my insurance claim would fall on its face.

as for the legality of removing the airbag, thanks to the NHTSA, it is against federal law in the US http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/adap...e_ask_Ques.htm , but for an insurance claim to be denied based upon violation of that law, it has to be proven that the bodily injury or property damage was "caused by, or reasonably expected to result from" the criminal act. any ambiguity in the policy language favors the insured, so the only way i could see this happening is if you were removing the airbag while driving down the road and you wreck because it popped in your face. if anyone wants to open this one up for debate (bodily injury resulting from decreased effectiveness of restraint system?), i'm game .

Heres a link - this is where I bought my wheel and hub. I just told the guy the year and model of my car and he found the hub for me. I think I paid around 300.00 all together with the wheel and hub
