weve got a vid at work what we saved on cctv. our engine oil gets delivered from shell in massive 75litre cylindrical shaped cylinders. we put a SIDE airbag in the drum and drilled a hole about an inch in diameter through the drum and through this was the km special deployment tool, leading out to mick who deployed it.when goes off the drum lifts a good 20foot in the air, and a massive swell in drum

that was from a side airbag. scary shit

so if the impact itself dosnt kill you, the airbag is designed to finish you off. Its probably the goverments new way of reducing population levels......lol.......

injuries from airbags affect women most cuz they sit on the dash. funny but is actually true. if the instant blow up of airbag doesnt harm u then the burn from the gases will. red cheeks, anyone??

Even if you do disconnect the power and remove the airbag to fit your aftermarket wheel. If you put the standard wheel back on the warning light on the dash will come on.
Either pay £45 for a few seconds of Tech 2, remove the bulb or live with the light on.

I also heard that there is no difference between the airbag and non airbag boss's for corsas, its jusy car shops didnt like to sell boss's to cars with an airbag, because if you had an accident and hurt yourself - due to no airbag in car, they dont want people comming back to them complaining that they sold you something that was dangerous.

Airbags are a fucking nightmare, I hate messing around with them. I think im going to take it to a pro car electrics place and see what they have to say first!

The wiring. Thats the only difference. I have done shit loads of corsa b's. Yetto do one on a C. The momo boss's come with a small fuse that keeps the cycle feed going and fools the ECU into thinking the airbag is there hence keeping the light off. i have done mine. The light is still off and im still here.

LONG LIVE ME!!!!

thought the idea of that fuse was to fool the car into thinking the airbag was still there so that any other airbags in the car would still work, cos if the driver airbag is removed doesnt it deactivate all the other airbags too?
