Even the 1990's four spoke wheels with buttons are a major mod. Congrats on the find. You're lucky I didn't see it.  __________________

I bought a euro wheel from a guy in an eBay auction and it was a plug and play swap in my '96. Looks great. | | | | | 10-15-2009, 12:22 AM | #18 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
Does that euro wheel have the airbag?
I have been thinking about getting a euro w/ airbag but I didn't want to cause any potential problems with insurance. I know that with most policies if you disable any safety features on the car the insurance company can drop you immediately. I thought since the euro wheel wasn't offered in the US that if I ever got in an accident I'd be SOL. __________________ ~Dave~

Yes, the european steering wheels have an airbag. I have the same one but with the tri-color stitching. __________________

That euro wheel looks great. Combine that with the ZHP shifter....nice! | | | | | 10-15-2009, 01:58 AM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
Yeah, there are two versions of the euro wheel, with airbag and without. I'm just wondering if installing a euro wheel w/ airbag would be a no-no for insurance reasons. I mean, you wouldn't be removing the airbag, just replacing it with a version that was never US tested or approved... __________________ ~Dave~
