Yes, you need a hub adapter. Sorry, I don't have any pics of my Sparco steering wheel.

No place in the States that I know of. They would have to import them from Japan. I imported mine, and a few people here have done the same. There are a few people that can import them for you. Price is $125 to $150.

Nope. I got my car inspected without an airbag wheel.

No, it wasn't a hookup. A friend of mine passed inspection with a full cage in his Prelude as well.

I have no idea. Where my car is registered, they don't do emissions. Next year, I have to get emissions testing. I am not sure what I will do since it will be a full race car by then.

here in PA, if you put less than 5000 miles on your car per year, you are exempt from emissions testing. Maybe your state has similar exemptions and if you have to, just disconnect your odometer so that you don't put many miles on it.

Hey, DR, will that adapter work with turn signals and ATTS?

It would not work with the turn signals on my car because I have the SH which has three grooves instead of two. This is also the same reason it would not work with the ATTS. It would have worked with the turn signals and ATTS if I would have cut a third groove into it. Instead I bought one from Marcucci that had the third groove already cut. Even on that one the third groove was a little small so I had to file it out to get it to work. On the base model (which fliptout has) this is a non issue and it should work perfectly.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Where did you get your hub originally?

71dsp....you are saying that the hub adapter from sparco wont work with a SH? I just bought a Ring Suede from them and a wheel adapter. Am I going to have to modify or buy a different one. Also how do you disable the Airbag sensor so you dont through a srs code when the bag is disconnected? Thanks for the help...I am planning on doing this this weekend.

Also...any one know who or where I can buy seat adapters (from Wedge Engineering) for Sparco seats? I have contacted Sparco and they are showing a backorder. I cant find anyone(in the limited search I did) with information on ordering just the seat brackets. Thanks for the help!

If it's not made for a car with airbags (most sold in the US are NOT), then you will probably have to modify it to fit.

My hub adapter came with an SRS connector bypass to keep the SRS light from coming on.

As for seat adapters, be careful, some actually make the seat higher than stock. I am using Sparco Corsa seats, which are side mount only, so my only option is to have seat brackets fabricated.

71dsp...I dont remember there being any jumpers in the hub adapter box...I will have to look again. I havent removed the wheel yet, but I am assuming that there are three notches on the hub that are on the spline. Man I cant wait till my helms comes in.

I believe my seats mount from the bottom. I picked a pair of Red Milano's and I cant wait 2 weeks to put them in. I will let you know how they feel once I have them installed.
