Want a new wheel as the 1 on my 98 uk is rubarb and looks camp,but i still want to have a funbag,,,,i like the newer sti wheels will they fit and old impreza....or not?

 

has it got a horrid grey steering wheel mate??

 

The newage STi wheels do fit heres a pic of my classic type R with STi 9 steering wheel,the airbag is also wired up and i can only pressume it works as the airbag light goes out after 5 or so seconds as it always did with the old wheel

 

That is ****ing sweeeeeeeeeeet....oh yes yeh thats wat i imagined...cheers mate

i got one on mine i just gotta sort the airbag out as the plugs didnt mathc

 

Does anyone know if the wiring is the same for the new spec C steering wheel to replace the massive sti type uk 2002 momo wheel????

 

Ok, I have some questions on this...

- Has anyone have an accident with the wheel changed and airbag wired up, and the airbag has deployed correctly? I've been reading previous post on this and some people say although the light goes out, it will not work correctly.

- Does the wiring have any polarity? My new wheel came without the wiring loom, so either I search one from a scrapyard or I get one new at Subaru (probably very expensive)

On the future I will be planning a 4 point harness, so I don't really need the airbag. But until then, if I have it... i will be more confortable if I know it will work correctly.

 

where do you buy the steering wheel? I whant to do the same onto a 2002 bugeye.

is it smaller? and were do you find them? (apart for the dealer...)

Thanks!

 

DO NOT FIT NEWAGE (+01) AIRBAGS ONTO CLASSIC CARS(pre 01), THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR IT!! In some cases your injuries will be worse with the wrong airbag rather than just a seatbelt due to the tuning differences of the airbag bewteen the older and newer cars.

Your Insurance company must also be told of this change, as it invalidates your claim for personal injury. Better to remove all together that go down this route. Please consider this before purchasing!! Just making people aware of the facts!
Stay safe.
