Airbag wheels from various Mazdas

Most will also fit airbag-equipped BA, but usually needs a small (non-critical) tab cut off the orange horn plug to fit.

BigMal has one of the MOMO ones on his BA, so it's a simple swap.

MOMO ones generally seem to be selling for around 10000yen. Around $220 landed, based on that sell price.

Are these wheels smaller in diameter than standard wheels?

BTW Dan, got both the seats and I've chopped the brackets off the standard seats and drilled holes in them to fit the MS seats... gonna fit them very soon hopefully!

None of the auctions specify the diameter, but i'd assume the same as BA. Mal? Otherwise ask someone that owns an FD RX7 RB Bathurst.

and yes, pics!

From memory Mal said a plug needed to be swapped, but that was all.

That 5000yen one looks in good nick, i'll get a bid placed on that.

Container arrived this week, just waiting to clear customs. Might be in it, but as it was bought end of May, it'll be a close run thing.

LAST TIME I CHECKED ALL fD WHEELS HAVE BEEN THE SAME SIZE

no wonder they look familiar to me.:)

Yes but what size is that?

320mm I think but it mightbe 315mm

how hard would it be to install another steering airbag wheel?

More or less covered here

so if i got an sp20 one it should be able to go on mine?
same body, basically the same car, so it should be the same plugs etc, in theory.....

Maybe a different plug, but otherwise it should be the same as an SP20 one.

so are the sp20 ones only the three spoke ones, with maybe different colours?

different coloured ones are either rx7 or mx5 wheels, still unsure if they fit the sp20 airbag tho...

are there any sp20 ones that dont have the mazda emblem on?

nope... They all have the the mazda wings emblem in the middle.

Dan / Rupe and I did some hunting (well really me looking thru 46pages or steering wheel, dan gave me the link), found a Nardi Torino Wheel with matching gearknob for something like $580 landed, and that was less the airbag itself!! :eek:

is that the same as whats in the sp20s standard?
would that one have the emblem?

A lot of the wheels don't have the Wings logo - more have the Nardi Logo in the middle

This is from a FD RX7, but it's the same basic wheel, just without the color inserts.

That design style of wheel (black or colored) is about 20000-40000yen though. Probably 80% of wheels are sold without an airbag though, as they've been pulled from damaged cars - and then they still want 20k for just the wheel!

1000yen/$13, 4 days

Would this go straight onto a BA and if so what price landed? Also what is the deal with shipping an airbag over here?

Yep it'll fit BA, and it'd be about $138 landed.

Apparently you're not supposed to send them via Auspost, but i've never, ever, had an issue. But shipping them in to the country via container is not a problem. I assume it's due to air travel and the height possibly setting it off? I dunno
