Change Steering Wheel - LVV?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

So i'd like to remove my STI Momo steering wheel with Airbag, and put in a more race orientated one (plus a bit smaller one so my legs don't rub on it).

Firstly, is this something I need to get certified? (I need to get my suspension done anyway, so can do at same time)

Secondly, can I remove it and straight bolt on a new one or do I need to get some sort of 'boss kit' that I keep seeing advertised?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I removed mine in mine and had to get a boss kit as my v4 had the clockwheel type for the horn, i got it certed when i was doing all my other stuff. wasnt too difficult just has to be safe and not have the airbag lights come on. The kit from HKS or something does it all i got mine off Fortyone Auto on here took about 2 weeks and was easy to do. Now i run a MOMO wheel from a RS legacy as its nicer to use.

Car has to be 14 years old before it can be certed for airbag removal without motorsport authority card.

I should mention that i remeber that the shell i used to reshell my RA didnt have a airbag as factory so it didnt have to be certed for it.

Haha wouldn't call them Tree trunks Mark, although I am a mad keen mountain biker/cyclist..... I'm just tall.

The main reason I would remove it is A) I find the stock steering wheel really big B) to avoid a small accident in an event (i.e. Targa) setting off an airbag, and essentially ruining my day (yes i'd be wearing a helmet and all other necessary safety gear)

This is for my race car - not a road car. I'm all for airbags in my road car.

I thiiiiiink the 2003 wheel (which I personally think is a bit fugly) will swap in, from 2004 onward I'm told they went to a 2-stage airbag, so you would have to do some sort of craziness to make it work. And exploding **** right in front of my face is not something I tend to modify.

      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
