New steering wheel - removing the airbag
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2023
- The thirdgen Firebird is an 80's design icon. However, for the 1990 model year, Pontiac introduced the steering wheel airbag, which in my opinion never really suited the style of the interior. I've found a more period correct steering wheel. Not an original Firebird steering wheel from the previous years, but a new style from VSW. It's 35 cm in diameter, compared to the 38 cm of the OEM steering wheel. Just slightly smaller, so you don't really notice it when you see it, but definitely feels more like a Go Kart when you drive it.
Parts used:
Steering wheel: VSW S6 Leather Series - ST3060B-8B-21BLK
Adapter: 6061 Billet Aluminum
Compatible with 1969 - 1994 Pontiac Firebird or Chevrolet Camaro (and others)

Franchement ce volant est tellement plus beau que l'ancien, ça valait le coup de remplacer, il fait plus typé "années 80"
Merci, oui je suis très satisfait du résultat !
Great video on how to remove the airbag steering wheel. The new VSW steering wheel looks very nice. It's a perfect fit for your black t-top.
I like your video very much, because I also own a Pontiac Firebird 1987, and I have been following you all the time
Thank you very much! Everytime I think I have nothing more to show, something comes up.😃
Awesome Video Scotti. Keep them coming.
Thank you! Update video on the dash is next.
WOW! What a really cool steering wheel you got there, MotorScotti. I love it! It really looks like it came straight from the factory along with your car and it kinda reminds me of the round stunt wheel that was used by the stunt drivers during the filming of Knight Rider. Have you ever thought of adding the Knight logo on the centre horn button? That would be a nice touch and a great homage to KITT. Also, how's the KITT dashboard coming along?
Thank you! I'm really enjoying it. It's a different driving experience now.
The KITT dashboard is making slow progress. Way slower than I ever planned but that's life.
@@MotorScotti Ah, don't worry about it. I have a feeling it's gonna look pretty awesome when it's finally finished and installed in your car. If I were you, I would just leave the stock dashboard alone and use the KITT dash to create myself a Knight Rider driving/racing simulator. That would be something totally unique and away from the norm. What do you think?
@@muhammadnaim418 Absolutely, that idea has crossed my mind, as well. As you may know, I love the factory dash and it's probably more enjoyable to drive the car as it is now, rather than with all of the KITT dashboard and consoles. Let's see. I'll make the call when it's done and test fitted in the car.
@@MotorScotti Really? What a coincidence! I have a feeling you might say that. I mean, even Joe Huth from the Knight Rider Historians admitted that he prefers driving a regular Trans Am with the stock dashboard over an actual KITT car with the Knight Rider dashboard. Anyway, thank you very much for keeping me notified on your progress. I really appreciate it. Until next time, drive safely and best wishes. 😉
Awesome video - what kind of shifter is that?
Thanks! The gear shifter is an 82 Trans Am replica. Check out my KITT playlists. There's a video for everything I've done with details in the respective descriptions.
Just followed your channel! doing the same with my 90’ - thanks for the content 👍🏻
Perfect, thanks! Enjoy the projects and hopefully my videos, too. 😃
How to remove the airbag. I already removed the airbag in a recent video...😵💫
Good for you
@MotorScotti good for me for what? Did you watch the video? He talks about how to remove the air bag and then proceeds to tell you how he removed it in a recent video. There will be a test after class!🫡
@@phoqueewe7230 Who is "he"? You mean me? Yes, I removed the airbag in a previous video because I needed to remove the steering wheel to replace the turn signal return springs as explained and linked in the video and video description.
The point is to not show the entire procedure in detail because I already have done so in a different video and revered to it in this video. 😃
