JDM steering wheel

[etlsport]

anyone know if the jdm steering wheel would fit the american models without modification? airbag in it? i love the look of the jdm steering wheel and really would like to try to get one in my vx... dont wanna lose the airbag or spend a fortune though... any thoughts on this? wonder how hard it would be to get a hold of one in the first place

Hi,

Mine's a JDM and I can tell you they have an airbag but I'm not keen on removing it to check the shaft size, I can't think why there'd be a difference but then again there are a fair few oddities between US and JDM. I'll try find it in the Trooper manual which covers the VX.

regards

I seem to remember reading that the Momo wheel air bag didn't meet US specs. Not sure what that means - the airbag size or some other component. It may have just been some licensing thing between Isuzu and Momo that prevented it from coming over (the US verson has "Isuzu" embossed on it). One ended up on eBay a few years ago but I got outbid.

I also am looking for one. I have MOMO for the floor plates (atomik), floor mats, manual shift knob (atomik), floor pedals and outside decals. I would LOVE to have one.

If there is any way I can get my hands on one.... oooooohhhh lol

I'm most certainly interested as well.

i know of other people (not in a vx) that have swapped out steering wheels with airbags for ones that dont have them, so i dont see why it would be a problem to have a smaller airbag, but definitely something to look into.. I read somewhere that the american steering wheel goes for like $800 new though so that doesn't make me feel good about a price on a jdm

I never realised there was a difference. The one in mine is nice though...
