does anyone by chance know any info on how the body reacts in accidents by removing the airbag with an aftermarket wheel and using a 4 or 5 pt harness?

I know a 4 or 5 pt harness is better than 3, but at the same time the 3 pt is designed to work with the airbag and have a little give as you plow into the airbag.

With a racing harness, you're glued into the chair so I'm guessing an airbag isn't all that useful (or is it?) with that set up?

Also, if you're locked in with a racing harness, how does it affect your head movement in an accident? It seems like instead of the force pushing your entire body forward, you're now pushing just your head forward possibly causing spinal injury?

Does anyone have any info on that?

Oh and also, how do you keep the airbag light happy after removing the stock steering wheel?

Also does an aftermarket wheel make the steering feel any lighter or communicate to the driver easier what the car is doing?


People with racing harnesses might consider getting a roll cage, though I guess the Z's roof seems to be fairly strong

yeah i've forgot to ask brandon at tony's house. i got a quick release also. my hub came with clips and relays but since it was a JDM hub the parts only fit a JDM Z. USDM clips different from JDM so even if it comes with it, it wont fit. are you gonna make it to kappo this sat?

If it wont work, I'll try to slice the wire or something, or I'll just take out the bulb if that wont work.

I wish I could go this sat, I've been missing out on some of the meets...and I totally need to check out your wing in person. But I cant, this sat is my lil sister's graduation at Irvine and we are having dinner together afterwards.

dude, its all on your lic. plate!
TOPSECRET!!!!
topsecret wheel, splash hub, and rapfix quickrelease-i think is what is on brandons car. brians (red endless car) has the same thing except for the steering wheel, think hes got a personal wheel.

edit: as far as i know, brandon's airbag light still is on. i think eric over at street image may have a way, but i think he needs to look at the wire-ing still.

I remember a while back i saw a used impul cf steering wheel. sooooo nice. i like some of the sparco stuff. but if you switch to something other than momo you gonna switch the ****. you know i like that one jdm steering wheel from nissan that had an airbag. that ish was hot.
