I apologize in advance for my comment but goddamn: I'm looking for Integras right now and every 3rd one has a horrid steering wheel that looked like it was cribbed from a Crusin' USA arcade cabinet.

Mid nineties airbag steering wheels are horrible monsters with stupid little thumb button horns and usually way too big for performance driving. Most Momo steering wheels (aside from their 2 fast 2 furious models) are usually pretty good.  (Momo Mod08 on an EVO) Compare that to this:  Typical 90s Integra/big rear end airbag wheel.  Mod07 on a Porsche

I'd feel sketchy driving a car with no airbag (at least without a proper cage, harness, helmet, etc.), but I really do want a steering wheel closer to my chest, and maybe just slightly smaller diameter.

The NA Miata airbag wheel is the worst  Compared to the normal non airbag version  Its not like an airbag is going to do you a lot of good if the structure of the car isn't going to hold up anyway - in old cars like that they only there because they were legislated.

Gotcha covered:  edit: Airbag talk. I'd take an airbag over non-airbag any day even though my grandma was essentially killed by hers from internal bleeding. That said, she was 81 and weighed 105 lbs since she was barely 5' tall. Under 125, I would disable it and take my chances, but as I'd say most people wouldn't fit that profile, they're more beneficial than harmful. keykey fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Oct 31, 2014 |

No, that's the airbag wheel (the horn buttons are off to the side so as not to impede the overpowered explosive device from smashing your face). I have one in my '97. Some early Canadian models shipped without airbags, this is the wheel they had:

A just result for people who put their feet up on the dashboard. I had a girlfriend who did that years ago, used to put her bare toes up against the windshield, ugh.
