Just so you know, unless you paid the extra $650 for the side and side curtain air bags, your Yaris only has 2 bags for the driver and passenger. Its a very rare option. I did a search and in our network of 42 dealerships, we had only 1 car with that option. Congrats if you got one of the safe ones! Hard to come by.

sorry man i don't have any links to back up my claim but i have friends who have had accidents with and without the airbags on their cars and the ones with the airbags ende worse than the ones without.

maybe just crazy luck, but i really don't care, i'm going aftermarket anyways.

well for those who go aftermarket please share a link of which steering wheel hub adapter you bought and/or the quick release hub if you purchased it also. I already spoke to Etimago about this and a shop he went to dropped the parts in for him so yea.

you know there was a time when there was no such thing as an air bag. the one in my vw malfuctioned and the light stayed on, the shop told me it would not deploy in that state and they wanted to maintenance it, I drove like that for 3 years, traded it in like that

I guess I'm an idiot too.

There was also a time when there was no such thing as a seat belt...As for your VW having electrical problems, that's no suprise...Why wouldn't you get it serviced?

As for you being an idiot...

My car says it has driver, passenger dash bags, side bags that come out of the A pillar, and side bags that come out of the seat...is that right? Both cars I test drove had the same markings, so I didn't think it was that rare...

because VW service dept. sucked I was unhappy with the car in general and I wasn't all that concerned personally, it passed inspection and I had no problems trading it in for my yaris

as far as your concern for others safety....

Just curious by what you mean by "my car says" Is it like knightrider? And it told you personally, Or is it listed in your owners manual - or on your window sticker, or written on the A pillar? Cause I remember seeing all the airbags in the brochure and then finding out that it wasnt standard equipment.

IMO a good set of racing belts would more than make up for the lack of airbag.

does anyone have a link to a steering wheel hub adapter for our cars?......and how bout some quick release hubs to go with taht? =P

As in it says, it's written on the damn thing. On the seat, the A pillar, and the steering wheel...

I can take pics so you can see what I mean if you want...

As for my concern for others, see the comment about removing safety equipment being population control...

I didn't remove my safety equipment, try reading my comment

Nardi Steering Wheel
Works Bell "Shorty" hub
Works Bell Quick Release

Horn Still works
NO AIRBAG LIGHT (used resistor supplied with Works Bell hub)

Thomas, I think yours might need a different size resistor, let me know if you need help figuring it out, there is no reason why your airbag light should stay on.

I purchased all of the above from Works Bell USA, www.aspecproducts.com

I didn't say you removed your safety equipment. I said that I don't think that is a good idea. You ridiculed me because of my "concern for others safety". My opinion is that an aftermarket wheel looks good, but is not worth it due to the safety loss...understand?

your last concern is for -others- safety, you just like to come in here and crawl up people's ass every time you make a post

if you think that was ridicule then I think you should look up the definition of that word, I'm just stating the obvious

you're a shit starter and you have been from day one, guess we have to have a few of those

you even refer to yourself as Mr. Attitude
