FT: Momo steering against stock steering Options

[reko]

Hi y'all!

So i'm trading my MOMO steering since it came with my car when i bought it, but i then realize that where I live it's illegal to remove the air bags...

Therefore, if i dont change it and i'm involved in an accident, my inssurances won't cover me...

Anyway, whoever wants a MOMO steering and as a BLACK OEM steering and wanna trade, lemme know

Oh and YES i do know that it worths 300$ but still i dont care since it's not legal on my car

[reko]

Oh...

Anyway no one even answered me in my other thread in which i was asking if ALL the GT came with airbag...

Cuz if they dont i wont trade it

[playr158]

yea all 6gc have airbags

Well, not ALL of them. There are some (outside of the US) that do not have a passenger airbag, and there are some that have no airbags.

[reko]

I fogot to mentionned that im giving away the hub adapter as well with the steering

[shin]

that's exactly the same wheel i had on my celi MOMO mellenium

I'm from Montreal Canada, think it still applies for my GT?

pmed you.

did your bags blow on your car? you might want to check that, if they have blown and that steering wheel is just a replacement, simply adding a driver airbag isnt going to fix the airbag system, you would also need a passenger airbag, front crash sensors, and airbag ecu.

on the same token, i believe anybody removing their steering wheel is going to make the whole airbag system malfunction and their passenger airbag/sensors/ecu will be worthless.

so i would suggest buying an airbag kit and then selling the wheel to recoup the costs.

Honnestly, I dont think it has blown... i looked carefully in the engine bay and it's all mint... no rust no aftermarket paint no nothing that could lead me to think that the car as been involved in an accident; not even burned oil...

I checked the fusebox and the SRS fuse is still there (not even burned) and i dont have any light on my cluster, is that normal?

And i have a GT so that means no airbags on the passenger side...

Oh and to let you know, down here in Quebec, our laws regarding airbags are different from yours; if the bag blows up, the car is immediatly considere as total lost by the SAAQ (the ones that give away driver lincences and car registry)... and mine isn't...

[brianforster]

wait no passenger airbag? are you sure?

i would try to contact the previous owner if possible.

i dont know much about canadian celicas, but if your light isnt on he either removed the LED or you never had airbags.

edit: but since you have an srs fuse i doubt it.

if the car was like that when you bought it, then wouldnt the inspection place have noticed that you did not have your airbags?

i guess it souns like he removed the airbag and then added the momo, so you might be able to just straight trade.

you have been PM'd, That is the exact wheel that I have been wanting for a while, I would really like to do this trade...lemme know!!!

[reko]

I just called my local Toyota dealer and he was suprised that i dont have a passenger air bags... and then he told me that he thinks that i dont have one (driver side)

In Canada only GT-S have passenger air bags (we dont have STs & convertibles)

wowo no air bag, if you originially had a driver airbag there should be a yellow wire by your wheel in the column. or pop your shifter boot off, there should be a rather large (1/2" diameter) yellow wire running under it to the airbag ECU. If that is there u got airbags, if its not then more then likely u never had them ????

the airbag ECU resides under your arm rest consol
you can see it here right in the center (silver boxw/yellow label) the yellow wire follows the rest on the right hand side of the shifter
