Default Aftermarket Steering Wheel...

Looking at this but I'm not sure it this Steering Wheel is a little bit smaller than the stock ones on my 95 accord... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-...Q5fAccessories Just wanted a smaller steering wheel coz when its all the way down it bugs the hell out of me coz I have to squeeze in and out to get in and out of the seat (huge leg LoL!) its just some times its gets irritating just to pull down and up the steering wheel for not having my huge legs get in the way :D
Or something that you would like to suggest besides the one that I found on Ebay...
Also, is it illegal in CA. for not having airbag on the driver side?


Thanks...

If you want a smaller wheel, go with a 330mm. Not sure what size the one you posted it, but it looks about that. I wouldn't cheap out on something as important as a steering wheel, though. Go with a brand like MOMO. Feels much sturdier. If you want a quick release get at least an NRG brand. Sure, it is a bit more expensive but it is better to be safe than sorry. Not fun having the quick release come off on the highway.

Thanks... Im not really looking for a quick release, its better to have but dont have that much to spend specially on JDM parts... my engine is about to give up so Im saving some to get it rebuilt or like other suggest to do a swap...
So is it illegal in Cali or any state for not having your steering wheel air bagged?

I believe it is illegal to purposely remove a device such as an airbag steering wheel. But, in my experience the police do not care about it. *crosses fingers*

Thanks...
chances are, if you got huge legs..you got huge hands!...haha dont mean that in a bad way..just that your hands might be too big for a smaller wheel..
but you would dif want quality parts for steering wheel such as sparco or momo...
im using a none name brand on my 92 accord for about 3 years now..i dont really like the feeling, and just yesterday..it was a lil bit loose for the 1st time! i had to re-tighten the center shaft 19mm nut...so be careful!

back in the days, you were able to go into a honda dealer and they would install a switch kit that would de-activate the airbags if you wanted...but honda has discontinued this years ago..so i dont think its illegal..but i could be wrong...nowadays
