I'm gonna go check out the Salvage yards to see if I can get the whole column to dissect.

If the cops don't harass me, might toss the Momo steering wheel on I have for the Jeep.

don't believe all of the media hype. Airbags also injure. In some cases worse.

yeah, airbags have killed people, i would rather take my airbags out and strap myself in a 5 point harness, but then again, you should not have a problem with you are a good driver and dont hit anyone while your going at high speeds,. The crap daewoo also has a 5 star frontal crash test rating, so i feel safe

keep in mind its not about who you hit, its who hits you.

airbags. ive seen both sides. had a family friend shattered her sternum when the airbag went off resulting in heart surgery. but i also saw the differences for good. Also have seen friends survive accidents without them..

but its about what hits you. 5 stars is the car at a set mph, hitting a solid object. what if your doing70, and get hit almost head on my a mack truck or a suburban doing 70 in the other direction, i would want all the protection i can get, even though in that case an airbag would just leave me a pretty corpse.

Ok, back on topic but if anyone is interested I have a Carbon Fiber De-tachable Option Racing steering wheel. It's only got one half of the detachable part, but you could use the wheel anyways, or put a different detach. hub on it. It's a 6-screw mount pattern. PM if you're interested. I pulled it out of my race car and replaced it with a MOMO a while ago, but seemed to have misplaced the other part of the hub. So....yeah.

Hi all, I own a 2008 aveo LS AT, and the firewall has different harness colors from what was pictured on the instruction above. (mine looks like '09 harness). I also checked the steering wheel dash harness and I couldn't find any wires that doesn't have connection. Does anybody here has luck in finding the two wires needed for the cruise? Thanks in advance...
