what is the possibility of SR being able to get ahold of the korean version of the tiburon steering wheel?

 

Probably not very high my man. Rumor is that messing with your steering wheel *And therefore the airbag* is a federal offence.

Now... I could look around...

Email me if you want me to.

 

I believe you can only remove/repair/replace the air bag if you're certified or something. And if you remove it, you have to use it for pure show/race purposes only.

 

Well let me ask this, this was said before on other sites, but "who will see in side of your car and would worry about what is on your car, the Keyword is your car, that you are buying and no one else, you are putting gas and maintaing it." That was what was said...

 

ok, so what if my tib went back to hyundai to get fixed or sumthing, and they noticed that i had a different stearing wheel? now that im told that its a federal offense im kinda warry.

 

Umm...if you don't have an OEM airbag loaded steering wheel in your car and you get into an accident, good luck ever trying to collect money from the insurance company. Also, when the police come out and see the accident and see that no airbag went off due to the fact that you have an aftermarket steering wheel with no airbag, then good luck trying to get out of the ticket due to removing the airbag. To me, the cons are way too much compared to the pros. The only way I would remove the steering wheel and airbag is if I was using my car as a pure trailer queen. I would never want to put myself or my passenger in harms way because of something that I thought looked cool. rolleyes.gif

 

The main problem is...if you live in a state with emissions testing, they might flag you. And any cop that pulls you over could ticket you for the lack of an airbag. it's a FEDERAL law, so they might not be well versed on it...but then again...they might.

If you want to take the risk, I'd say keep your old steering wheel and airbag around. They are VERY spendy to try to buy new or used.

 

thanks everyone, i think im gonna pass on it now. i haddnt put so much thought in it other then it looks really cool.

 

Your VIN number states whether or not your car comes standard with airbags, if you get pulled over and they see an aftermarket steering wheel, one of the first thing CA cops do is look at your VIN.

 

but see,the one i want isnt an aftermarket stearing wheel. its stock, just not in america.
