ive grown weary of the xB wheel, and seeing as how i dont have steering wheel controls (much thanks to scion) i have decided that i want a new steering wheel

but here is where my problem lies...

I had a bg, black leather and chrome Grant wheel in my blazer, i loved it.. but grant doesnt make a scion adapter... lovely, so im going to order the sparco hub when i get some feedback...

any pics that you have of your conversions are welcomed....

Thanks in advance

 

check with your insurance first, it may very well be that any benefits you may receive in the case of an accident would be greatly reduced if you were to disable safety features of the vehicle.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, bud. just something to think about.

 

well i am already missing the pass side airbag in the vehicle... i alreaddy was thinking about that...

 

Momo's got a few awesome ones...
Momo Steering Wheels

I wanna get the V6 (possibly Trek or Trek-R) eventually.

 

i have the momo race steering wheel with the nrg quick release. i forgot the name of my hub but it has the adapters to eliminate the airbag light.

 

Got any pics? I wanna see how an aftermarket steering wheel changes the look inside ("attitude" even)...

 

me likey the V6...

i was thinking something like this...

 

i'll snap some pics tomorrow in the daylight and post em'

 

sweeet... much appreaciated bro

 

Actually, you can probably get an adapter from Grant that will work. If I am not mistaken Scion uses the same steering wheel mount as the majority of Toyotas. In fact if you look at the options from NRG, they use the same part for almost a dozen different Toyotas that they use for the Scion.

Grant and other companies just won't advertise that they have kits that will work for air bag equipped vehicles. This covers their butts in case something bad happens using their parts in an undocumented application.

If I am not mistaken you can pick up a grant adapter for about $30 from JC Whitney. All you really have to do is cross refrence the vehicles on the NRG website with what is available from Grant.

Running the Grant adapter should allow you to run any of their steering wheels. You would also have the option to run a billet steering wheel from companies like Intro, Billet Specialties and B.A.D.

Hope that helps.

 

here are a few pics i snap'd. the quality is bad cuz it's my cell phone camera.

 

thnks

 

i also wanna do a qucik realeas hub and racing steering wheel, but im afraid to do it

 

what are you afraid of? no airbag? insurance issues?

 

How much did you pay for the entire setup? Was it easy to do?

 

for the steering wheel + the NRG quick release + the hub = about 500 bucks. i got it 3 years ago so it might be cheaper now. the install was simple. just need basic know hows and your set.

 

Simoni racing has some awesome steering wheels. Check it out:

Personally, i like not having an airbag. The bag itself scares me more than a crash. And i always have my seatbelt so there should never be a possibilty for me hitting the steering wheel.

What i worry about is insurance issues. Being a 16 year old guy is bad enough. Removing safety features?

Whats an estimate of how much this alters your bill? I would do it if its anything over $40-$50 per 6 months.

 

redneck, I've heard that a Grant adapter from an older Toyota will work. Just take the OEM wheel with you and match it up in the store. My friend gothbox has the Grant chain lowrider wheel mounted up in his box.

 

cool, thanks alot
