Keep your airbags!!!!!

Drive faster with less protection!!!

Seriously though if you really want this thing then get a helms manual so you can remove the airbag without it going off in your face.

i dont like airbags...plus my girlfriend is short and has to sit close to the wheel and if it goes off in her face shes screwed........and we cant be having that

[pdiggitydogg]

you need a steering wheel hub adapter for that specific brand of wheel...

disconnect the battery and unplug the srs fuse for sure...and wait 15 minutes before doing anything...just to be safe. (In fact, nonovurbizniz suggests jumping the short connector for the srs (In the last steering wheel post here...less than 2 months ago).

You'll also need a torx screwdriver

other than that...get a manual...if not for this, for the future

Isnt a car totalled if it doesnt have an airbag when its supposed to or some crap like that?

[pdiggitydogg]

never heard that

[sc0rch]

it voids the warranty if you have one.....but i dont

actually.....it voids your bodily injury insurance on your insurance policy. let me just say one thing, i am a shorty and i sit kinda close, well i was in a car accident and the only thing that saved me was that airbag, i walked away with only burns that resembled a slight sunburn.

my best suggestion is take it to the dealer and get it taken out. they have to go through major training to be allowed to touch them. also realize that even if its taken out static electricity of any type can casue it to go off. it has a hair point trigger be carefull!

no

get a can of paint, a bottle of vodka and some sort of sharp object....

drink the potato juice first then the paint
now fascinate yourself with the knife.

keep your airbag in cuz your gonna get yourself killed...
Po-po gonna find your car with you layin in it and that nice Momo or Nopi, wutevr, is gonna be crammed down your throat...

Happy Easter All!!!:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

i know it is on state farm policies in ohio, pa and virginia. Dan ended up going to court on one claim and teh judge told the kid "you were injured long before the accident, you had some serious brain damage when you purposefully removed your airbag" i will never forget that! i cant believe a judge could get away with saying that! but then again he was right.

Not going to happen!!!They will not and cannot take out your airbag
