Airbag Steering wheel Removal

Steering wheel is worn out and the perforated leather has been ruined by 19 years of driving. And yes, i could just try and find a good condition factory replacement but if I can go and buy a nice aftermarket one then why not?

 

 

Airbags are good for stopping internal decapitation and face getting wrapped around the steering wheel.

I Also would love to do this, I would love an after market wheel with some dish that pushes the wheel a bit closer to my driving position for when on the track but dont want to muck around with a huge cert as the car is already certed :(

Agreed but also theres is evidence that shows that 1990s vehicles with airbags fitted that the airbag systems won't always work anyway. Which is why under LVVTA regs you are free to remove them as their reliability is significantly less after 10years let alone 20 years. But thanks :)

True, and your brakes might not work either... better rip them out too. Your life buddy :)

Not really the same there. There are maintenance tasks and procedures you can do on brake systems. To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t anything available for airbags...

That's a difference... a similarity is "removing a safety item because it might not work".

 

If he wants to remove the chance that a life saving device will work, good luck to him.

A basic cert starts @ around $550 regardless of Mods, they check the whole car

 

even your rim size is on the plate, even if OEM / standard, then your locked into that size, same as ride height

 

swap rims? = re-cert or if you have another set in your shed you can have them checked & added to the 'Sheet' at time of Cert

 

as is my understanding of the system from another forum I'm on that has a handy cert guy to answer questions

 

sorry I don't know the process of removing & satisfying the cert man with Airbag removal, I would simply suggest ask your local cert guy

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
