liamV Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Recently got a standard wheel after the old one on the car was rubbish. After removing the quick release it was just a case of fitting the wheel, but obviously it's from a different year model or something because the wheel doesn't fit with the airbag mechanism Anyway, is it alright to remove the mechanism and just fit the wheel? Not too bothered about having the airbag, just want to get the wheel onAny help is appreciated Quote
aleximport25 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I'm certain that the mechanism also cancels the indicators as well buddy. Quote
Dale SR Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 A 1996 wheel won't plug into a 1999 model the air bag stuff is all different. The wheel will fit just not the airbag connections. Quote

Dale SR Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I had a feeling it would be, looks like I'll have to get a different wheel or just see what happens when I put this one on haha you will get in on but you will have to take away the airbag squib and a couple of more little bits. But then you have no airbag and no horn which isn't good for an MOT. Quote
Dale SR Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 You could also get a 1998/99 standerd starlet wheel from a SR, GLS or S model and it will all plug in however there not leather and look/feel awfull. But alot easier to get hold of and it would work as a tempory fix untill you got yourself a 1998/99 spec Glanza one. Quote
Dale SR Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Also I have heard that the Celica steering wheel is a straight swap on to a 98/99 starlet model. But I'm not 100% sure if that's true so best get a second opinion on the Celica wheel if you take that avenue.That's the Celica wheel ^^ Quote
SKINY Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 i took that bit out in mine there when i fitted my trd wheel from my gt4, indicators dont cancel and this is probly why i cant get my horn to work lol Quote
