It appears to have no airbag, yet is wood grain, and looks OEM. I must have this.

[jester911]

Looks like a Nardi.

[Mazdababy]

I know that, but which one? lol

[MeFryRice]

Why don't you do some digging and find out. It's obviously an OE Nardi wheel. Try searching on Yahoo Auctions and eBay Japan to see if you find anything.

[Mazdababy]

Nope, nothing, and i think ebay japan is http://www.sekaimon.com/
..and i found nardi wheels you can find on ebay.com.

and google doesn't even translate much at all for that site.

Nardi doesn't even exist in yahoo auctions japan.

[metalman]

Its just another ****ty oem woodgrain wheel from an SE.

[Bernie]

That's the wheel that Decoy is jizzing all over himself about, right?

[Mazdababy]

No, the one he is jizzing all over himself about is the Nardi one from an SE, but has an airbag. That one doesn't appear to have an air bag, which I've never seen...

[jester911]

Being on a RHD car that isn't a big surprise is it?

[Mazdababy]

That it has no airbag? No, but it is from an NB (it's a full interior swap, that car is a NA), and I thought all NBs had airbags internationally.

I believe we're all wrong.

[Beastinthebushes]

Forget the wheel, I want those seats in black

[Mazdababy]

You have an SE right? Wanna sell me your wheel? :P

[Beastinthebushes]

I do have an SE, and I like my wheel for now, so no, but if I upgrade, ill keep you in mind.

[oldgrayfrog]

This is a 2000SE, Its the wood Nardi steering wheel, it does come with an airbag, that's what it looks like in the NB. If you are interested I have one in my garage, I took it off when I went to the MOMO. I also have the matching 5 speed shift knob. The wheel is $200 and the shifter is $50, I also have the matching tyrim surround to go around the radio and 4 wood trim rings that go around the vents, buy the wheel and the shifter and I'll throw them in for free. BTW it took me months of begging, to get Steve from Panic, to sell me that wheel, without the rest of the SE kit, complete kits go for $450. The 5 speed I got from Decoy for the same when he put in a 6 speed.

[Mazdababy]

Look at the second picture I posted, it's a little bit different, and has no airbag.

But I'm definitely interested, I should be able to have the money on Friday.

[oldgrayfrog]

Dude it's a 2000SE, it has a parchment leather interior, I have the top off of one. Its an SE woodrim Nardi, period. There is an airbag, its an NB one, and BTW my price doesn't include an airbag, that you will need to source off Ebay or Miatastuff.

[Mazdababy]

It doesn't matter what interior it has, because that's an NA with an interior swap (I've SEEN the tutorial lol)

NO airbag...

THAT is a 2000 se wheel, very different.

[oldgrayfrog]

Uhm, looks the same on my screen...

[Beastinthebushes]

Im with mazdababy on this, there is a slight difference, the first one he posted isnt as fat, its thinner, and it does look like it does not have an airbag. The second one is fatter, not as thin in the middle, looks bulky.

[Mazdababy]

Still look the same?

Where an airbag would be, the center section of the first wheel is very skinny compared to the second one, it has two little things on the top that are not on the SE wheel, and also has a black line going around the edge of the wood part of the wheel whereas the SE does not.

[jester911]

Obsess much?:lol:

[Mazdababy]

Wood grain is a way of life.

[jester911]

Hell I am a carpenter by trade so I see enough of it. I don't need it in my car. Besides its not legal in my race car.:D

[oldgrayfrog]

So do you want the wheel or not?

[Mazdababy]

Yes I do lol. I was just trying to show you it's not the same wheel.

[Bernie]

Looks a lot like this wheel, just in wood

/THREAD :lol:

[Mazdababy]

Good find, that's definitely it. $800, PHUCK that.

[oldgrayfrog]

Wow, only 457 pounds!! better come with a free car.lol

[Doppelgänger]

NEWSFLASH!! Due to people not being complete lazy retards overseaas, drivers side airbags are often NOT part of the steering wheel. So yes, it is an OEM steering wheel that does not have and airbag. Go look through some japanese car sites and you'll notice this. You can thank you fellow lazy American friends for being too lazy to wear seatbelts and causing the mandatory airbags in cars.

[Mazdababy]

Yeah really, I'll take you up on your stuff any day over that.

I really just wanted to see how much that wheel ran for because:
1. I have no airbags
2. It looks OEM
3. It's sexy

But I can always just pretend the airbag is functional :P
