Re: Fully Carbonfiberized & Alcantra Interior

How did you manage to do away with the airbag on the Momo steering wheel? I noticed that you have passenger side SRS ?.

You can just put the wheel on with the airbag unplugged. I have a similar one (mine has black in the center) and that's what I may have to do. Leaving it unplugged should throw an airbag light, preventing the entire system from working, including the passenger side. It would be great if we could confirm that the airbags from those cars are electrically compatible with the SVX. I think mine should be since they're from around the same time (93-98 JDM Legacy GT).

You would also have to modify the steering wheel to retain cruise control since most of the JDM/Momo ones don't have it stock for some reason.

Strange, but it's true. The one I picked up from NASIOC did have it... I wasn't aware that you could buy them otherwise!

I really don't know if you can modify them without being really crafty. Cutting the hole for the stalk is not a big deal, but the internal bracketry is very different where the stalk mounts.

Re: Fully Carbonfiberized & Alcantra Interior

I'm not a fan of Carbon Fibre but that is really well done.

How is your access to the Nav system? The reach looks a bit far. Or have you included voice command?
