Has anyone ever put an airbag steering wheel in a Ke. A friend of mine wants a ke36 and the first things her mum asked was "does it have airbags". So was wondering can it be done?

i would think that yes i can be done... but i imagine it'd be a headache. also airbag designs i would imagine are completely incorporated with car design wheel design driver position etc. etc. so fitting it into another car could happen.. i wouldn't trust its reliability though.

mmm thought roughly what i was thinking plus a few things i haddent thought of lol. Will do some research, just thought ide ask on here to see if it had been done

Look up the cost of a full air bag system, and it's something that should be done by a qualified auto-elec. Cause in the end those things can break bones if they go off when you don't want them to. Knowing what's in an airbag system i would not bother, just get a later model car tha has them standard.

I can just imagine the thread for the install.

 

Day one: Just got air bags for the KE!

 

Day Two: Trying to do the air bag install!

 

Day Fifty Eight: Just woke up from the coma.

 

 

They are EXPLOSIVE. It would cost a hell of a lot more to put one in a KE than a car with them that is legal.

 

If your mate is serious about doing it he will have to do some serious research.

 

Plus a butt ugly air bag steering wheel in a KE?

 

Probably cheaper to put a full cage in.

Even if you did install them I doubt it would ever be legal.

buy a helmet.... cheaper, easier....

Haha thats what i said to her "its gonna look so out of place" lol. Yeah helmet it is haha, Nah I'm sure she will survive without one

buy a helmet.... cheaper, easier....

And a racing suit like the Stig. No worries.

yea only thing is youll prob get pulled over a bit, the cops thinkin ya just did a bank job or something haha

I think if your parents ask if the car you want has air bags it pretty much rules out KE's.

 

Or basicly anything old and fun.

lol just tell her it does hows she gonna find out if ya don't crash it or put a vs commo wheel on it, it says air bag on it.....

She can have one, they just would have liked her in a car with airbags...to bad, she'll just have to drive slower lol

 

 

And ide like to see someone looking like the stig driving down the street in a ke. i think id die laughing

Forget it. It's not just a steering wheel, its some electrics and sensors and calibration, it will cost more than the car.

it would be far cheaper if you got breast enlargement
