is it part of the boss or the car?
Oh Dear !
part of the boss, lol mark, not your cuppa tea then
I'm a LOT older than you Darren. Just ignore me.
I thought you were a lot older than everyone on hereOriginally Posted by Mark 4
Probably true John. But still young at heart.
rofl, oh i can seee your gonna adore my modification choices as the time goes by!! cant wait for your views on my wheels, or the ice install when it starts going in
Bring it on sonny.
Looks good in the second pic mate, nice work!
Have you had to put a resistor in the loom or has the SRS light not come on. One other thing I've wondered, seen people change their wheels, but are air bags not compulsory on cars that were fitted with them at manufacture?
not sure about the dash lights as i didnt start it up and a for legality, i have no idea but i doubt it would cause a problem at mot time
The Vee, Airbags were compulsory after 1995 on all cars, so it would have to be refitted and made sure it is working for the mot.
Whilst it is your car, that is a dreadful thing to do to a COTY(imho)
.
Got a link to the relevant authority?
If so, I guess I'll have to get an airbag fitted to the Swift of Justice, seeing as it didn't have one from the manufacturer.

Why not become a full member of CVR4 and enjoy the additional benefits membership brings?! Information here.
Ditto the Evo, which doesn't have one until much....MUCH later than 1995 - too heavy.
Pugme, I like the wheel a lot. I'm just not sure I'd like to smash it into my chest at 100mph. Do you really hate the wood that much?
Does the Boss it was supplied with have crush points in it's structure?
yeah its a legit omp one, but after getting it fitted, i drove down the road and the AYC **** its pants!! lol
basically that round thingy i took out is something to do with this! lol so for now the wood is back o, my plan is to notch the back of the boss out (dont worry nothing structual its just the magnetic plate on the rear which would be for the horn) so when the boss turns it will turn the black plastic thingy majicy!!
in all fairness thinking about headbutting the wheel is the last thing on my mind! so im no, im not particularly fussed about an airbag.
"If you have an accident in a car with airbags while not wearing the seat-belt, your chances of survival and injury are the same as having an accident in a car that has neither air bags or a seat belt. This is a fact and a statistic not just something I guessed at." (copy pasted this, just read it and thought i should state i didnt say this! lol)
Better with seat-belt and no airbag than airbag and no seat-belt.

wronger than a wrong thing on the wrong dayThe Vee, Airbags were compulsory after 1995 on all cars, so it would have to be refitted and made sure it is working for the mot.

its only a failure if the srs light stays on, if it doesn't light up then how can there be a fault, and besides, the mot test is to ensure roadworthyness, how does the air bag affect that???????
also my old black legnum Vdi had its srs disabled due to the wiring issues and that passed its mot no worries at all.
aah so you removed the steering angle sensor too? yeh best not do that as you found out
yep so im probably gonna dremel the boss so it sits over that thing
dont forget i drove with this for 4 years
