Airbag Question
if you have a racing steering wheel, and you want to put on a stock steering wheel with an airbag.... how much does that cost? do people sell these used? and if you can get one, does the air bag work?

im sorry, i did a search and I still dont understand. What does a hub do? how much do they cost? and do you need a whole new steering wheel to make the airbag work, a stock one wont work?

when you replace the steering wheel, there is not gonna be an airbag (i know of no one which makes an airbag for an aftermarket steering wheel). the hub is the part that goes between the wheel and the steering columb, you first bolt the hub to the steering columb and then you bolt an aftermarket steeringwheel to the hub. you can get a mazda speed one for about 150 bucks from corksports or you can just buy a momo one made for a FC (im pretty sure a FC has the same hub as an FD). those hubs will run you about 50 bucks. not that some people have been able to keep the cruise control but you will probally have to lose it if you dont wanna cuztom make your own holder for it.

I dont' see why you coudln't do that. I'm sure its just liek going through the installation of the racing steering wheel, except backwards. What that procedure is I don't know. However I fo know someone with a very good condition steering wheel and airbag for sale....that person woudl be me!! So PM me if ur interested.

doh, your right zoomspeed. Holy crap man, god I feel like a moron. I guess I read his question and could not really comprehend why someone would wanna put the stock one back on so I guess I switched it around in my head.
In anycase, you can buy the stock steering wheel and stuff but its kinda pricey. A stock airbag usually goes for about 300 bucks while the steering wheel it self usually goes for about 50-200 bucks. It should go back together unless the previous owner welded a hub adaptor to the steering columb. Personnaly I could not wait to get rid of that shotgun shell of an airbag that points right at you all the time. Those things scare the crap out of me!
