By crashing the car.

i like popping in and pulling up old threads.

modify the plastic spring stopper thing by cutting it down to about 1/8th the original size.. then run the wire(s) through the hole in the hub. the hub itself acts as ground.

ended up going for the momo commando r





and here's what you do to trick the airbag diagnostic into thinking the driver airbag is still there...

4 10ohm resistors in parallel (or 5 10ohm resistors, or you could use a 2ohm.. due to the variance, its better to have extra resistors lying around). so passenger side airbag will deploy as normal like when tapping a curb at 5mph or whatever.

Re: steering wheels

Do you have any info on the hub adapter that you used? Part # or where you purchased it?

Thanks, I think it looks great and now I want one.

Re: steering wheels

the hub that momo sells (what i purchased initially) can be had for around $60 and found at thunder racing
http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...gories&pcid=78

the part number is 73-2401 but you'll find that it has some clearance issues which require you to not tighten the bolt down all the way.

thunder racing sells 73-2401-F for $90 which is machined for the clearance problems and for that extra $30, it is an absolute must unless you want your signals to activate and like the sound of plastic grinding every time you turn the wheel.

get the resistors at radioshack for $2-$3 for the airbag, $15 steering puller at kragen... and the airbag (which has to be removed before you can get to the nut to pull the steering wheel - be sure to disconnect the battery to avoid the chance of the airbag breaking your neck while you're removing it) is held on by torx screws on the back.

Thank you very much for the info.

Re: steering wheels

Your wheel looks great. I am really glad that you told me where to get the proper hub. I tried to install a Grant wheel and hub a few months back but it rubbed really bad on the column.

I think I am going to go with the Momo Jet wheel. Any opinions.


My second choice is the MOMO Competition.


Third choice is the Momo Prototipo (I think I have decided no to this one)

Re: steering wheels

I'd go with the Momo Competition. Keep it simple, keep it clean.
