Looks just like mine. The best wheel around:D

Is it possible/legal to install any aftermarket wheel in a car with
drivers airbags as standard?

Reason I ask is that wheel is sexc and iv wanted one for ages but allways thought it was illegal/void insurance if you replace it

u can change it to another air bag wheel but u cant go from an airbag to no airbag

Can I ask where you got it from?

and how much if you don't mind

ewww that thing is ugly.....

Wow a steering wheel!

Wow a steering wheel!

yes arent u excited??? you should be!

Where do you guys throw ya cruise control??... Or dont you have it... Ive been wanting a solid timer wheel for ages, but cant put the cruise onto em grrr

Ummm I don't think that its after market... it has the Mitsi logo on it, and the GTVi came with a wheel very similar to that from memory. So my bet is its a factory part but sourced from elsewhere as Mitsi are flaming ripoffs over here.
If this is the case cruise should fit straight on...

Can you confirm the above?

Cheers
Pete

OK, maybe I was a little harsh, that doesnt look bad at all when its actually installed in the car, so long as there is woodgrain etc in the car already.

then why not get one of the ones philcomm listed ages ago, they were sexy :) and sold for like $350 airbag models

exactly why i got mine to match the woodgrain in my verada

and MISSbishi not everyone on here agrees with what you are sayin if you dont like the steering wheel thats fine but keep your opinion to urself instead of posting sarcastic remarks,i put this post up and pics so others may find a cheaper route to getting these steering wheels.

I love you car...

Mate, I wanna get one of these. Where did you source your's from?

$300 is a lot for a steering wheel. That said, whatever makes you happy.

Mine comes standard with the GTVi m8. Wannamagna might tell you his source for his one.

thats true Mikeee lucky bugger!!! gtvi has it standard.Schnell if you take a look back ( i think it was one or 2 pages ago) i posted a link to the guy i imported mine through.

u might wanna see if he can get the nardi gear knob to finish it off, i reckon its sex, the only problem i find with mine is that the wood it to slippery to control with you knees when multi tasking lol but feels awesomely smooth on the hands.

like rubbing cocoa butter into your feet?? ahahah sorry mate yeah still tryin to source a decent gearknob theres one on auction atm but the finish on it is cloudy so trying to find a better one unless u can sand them back and re-clear them :doubt:

yeh lets buy all of them ever made and have a mass burning of them

they go cloudy really quickly, mine when i bought it at under 90,000km was already cloudy and its an auto knob, not like you'll touch the knob as much as u touch the manual knob, so i think whichever knob you buy after playin with it for a while it will start to go cloudy.

although maybe the old driver was like me and liked to keep one hand on his knob when driving.

for anyone interested in a nardi steering wheel and airbag i came across this one in new zealand on f31a diamante http://www.partsimports.co.nz/ViewCars/ViewCar.aspx?CarId=0c554e09-db32-4fc8-a35a-6ce034ec828e

i still havent got my car back to test whether my jap one works and everything but will keep u posted should have it back by end of week

well just thought id update on this as a few ppl wanted to see how i went.got my car back last thursday and couldnt be happier just tried to take the steering wheel off tonight to check the airbag wiring but the friggin thing wont come off i cant get the torx/security bits to budge one bit with the set i have (i used the same set to undo the airbag on the jap wheel) any suggestions b4 i handball this to one of the mechanics at work?

how the hell did you get them to send that from overseas, the airbag is classed as dangerous/explosive goods and as such cant be sent by air,and most shipping companies want an arm and a leg to carry one.

have a look at my latest acquisition!!! fresh from japan!!

how did you get it here the air bag is classed as dangerous/explosive goods!!!

meh i dunno it all came in a box

you would be supprised waht can be sent by air, even things that cant be carried by road are fine to travel in a passanger jet :nuts:

i think the reason is if the plane crashes, everyone is dead anyway and there is going to be a huge explosion so what the hell...

(ps i work at the airport, so i see the dg freight)

i see where he`s coming from airbags are classed as miscelaneaous dangerous goods but we used to airfreight them when i worked in parts if reqd

I love you car...

i must say i looked into the mitsubishi woodgrain shifter and the steering wheel, and mitsubishi had OUTRAGEOUS prices, so i gav it a miss, and in doin so i realised, that it wud hav been WAY too much woodgrain, since i hav the Xi and its already got the woodgrain inserts the shifter and wheel wudda been a little too much for me, but they still look nice, ill just stick to my leather shifter and wheel
