I have a 93 hatch and it has an aftermarket steering wheel without an airbag, will i need a steering wheel with an airbag to pass safety??? Any help will be appreciated thank you.

spike

by law yes, but most shops are pretty cool about them.

do you know any shops in etobicoke that are pretty easy going about the safety??

i didn't think you did need one...wheres Five-O to confirm

D.T.P

As long as SRS light is not on the cluster you should be good. If it is on, pull the cluster out and pull the light/plug out of the back. Shouldn't matter. Now is your horn working? That would be a bigger issue.

FiveO

You don't need as stock air bag or steering wheel to pass a safety.

Highway Traffic Act - R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 611

If you really wanted to and if you thought it would look cool, you could pass a safety with a spike mounted to the center of your steering wheel. In a bad crash the effects resulting from that spike would be indistinguishable from the results arising from no airbag.

Don't be surprised if that changes in the near future though. You can't remove seatbelt assemblies now and it's just a matter of time before the law catches up to treat airbags in the same way.

so you cant remove seat belts but can you still install a racing harness?

FiveO

You can install a racing harness, but you would be stupid to use it without also installing a full cage. Of course, if you install a full cage with minimal clearance to the back of your head, you'd be stupid to drive in that car without first putting on a helmet.

Even after all that, even if you do wear the harness, you could still get ticketed if you;re not wearing the stock seatbelts.

really eh, thats good to know. like i know its bad to use a harness with airbags, good way to break your nose

my friend has racing seats and he got pulled over once for not wearing the stock seatbelt but he was wearing his racing seatbelts (dont know the technical name for it) the copper just went "...oh" and that was it lol no ticket no nothing

FiveO

A friend of mine got pulled over for speeding once and didn't get a ticket either. Your friend got lucky. He could have received a ticket.
