I'm wanting to get an aftermarket steering wheel. As far as hubs i want to get a quick release with a hub. I looked at the compatibility chart on sparco's website and for chevy they use the same hub for the neon, viper, and any GM i believe.
The model number of the hub is 01502099. Has anyone tried this before? I saw one guy on here with a sparco hub. I need more info. The reason i was inspired to change it is because when i got my safety inspection, the guy said that airbags aren't a part of the inspection.

 

why?

for looks?

 

im in alot of car shows and i want to be able to take my steering wheel off for easier entering/exiting the car. I have fixed back racing seats so. I just need more info.

 

what happens when you are in route to said "car show" and you get hit from the front and ur head goes through you aftermarket steering wheel minus airbag.

 

seatbelt should help him there.

 

not all the time bud

 

neither do airbags. i've been in two frontal accidents and airbags didn't deploy once.

i don't like the fact that people add hubs for show but an airbag, although does add safety, is not always 100% effective.

 

wutever man. i still think it's a dumb idea but to each his own.

 

umm airbags dont deploy in these cars duhh lol

 

cobalt addiction sells a hub for our cars...MOMO...

 

that and the seatbelt retention device breaks upon impact.

 

pics!!! haha ive allways wanted one but there super expensive dont have much $$$ to be buying little things like that haha i wish

 

i could see putting it in a older car where the stearing wheels suck...but the ones in the cobalts i find are nice...

 

OMG. So nobody knows anything about HUBS?????

 

i do what do u want to know?

 

He said hubs not dubs.


******* ricer...

 

IF the guy was accurate in his info that it isn't required for safety inspection, then you're good. But just an FYI, if you want to do anything racing-wise that involves more than a straight line you're going to be SOL. I know SCCA, I'm 99% sure NASA, and most road courses require that if the car came with airbags, the factory steering wheel MUST be retained.

 

have you seen car crashs? seatbelt wont help his head

 

Have you ever been in a head on impact? I have and I can say that air bags **** up your face big time. If your wearing a seatbelt your head will not hit the steering wheel, thats what the retainer is for.

 

lol..i actually have a momo steering wheel and nrg hub on my civic...cuz if i crash in my civic..nothing my race harness and roll cage wont handle..

 

I was talking to my dad lastnight, and i decided to put a chage in the integra while I have the dash and carpet out. I have a feeling im going to be needing it.


I think im going to be going with holset power

or a gt35r

 

so i emailed a representative at sparco and they said their GM hub will work with our cars. So if i get one, i will prolly get that and the tuner quick release to go with it. I think it would be cool to be able to set ur steering wheel on the dash or the seat when you get out of the car.
