I want to get a racing wheel but dont want to simply waste my Cruise Control. Its great for my LONG trips from San Diego to San Fran!

There are aftermarket cruise-control units that can be "flush" mounted. If you want I can check with someone I know who has one installed. What about the airbag? I wouldn't think a true racing wheel would make any provision for one but you'll certainly need one if you want to drive "from San Diego to San Fran", unless you've got a "Get Out of Jail Free" card from CHP Regards, Alan Coles 03 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD 98 Mystique 2.5 MTX 99 SVT - Inheriting Lil Monster's parts 98 SVT - Lil Monster (RIP) 183.7 whp Quaife/Fidanza/UR UD Clutch AFE/MSDS/SHO-Y/Bassani/MagnaCore GC/Koni/22mmR/EndLinks/ES/ KVR Slotted/1144's/SS Lines/MASItaly

The car was in a minor fender bender on the right side and the air bags blew out. The car was restored, but the air bags were not reinstalled. So as it stands, the only thing Im losing with a new wheel is the cruise. So as for the other question. Can you please check with your friend about the unit. Good questions would be, "feasability of project". Is it a do it yourself or difficult custom job? What unit did he/she install and where did they get it? What other things did they consider? Also, can you get a few pics? One last question I throw out... Is now a good time to get a "technicians manual" or are thsoe things really just a waste of like a 100 bucks. Thanks again for the help ATX 1998 Myst, Sound System DONE, 16" Mille Miglia 11-2 DONE, Air Ride+Lowered+Drilled Rotors http://www.geocities.com/zlujan/night_vision.html(Premature)

Thanks again for the help As Samuel mentioned you should check your local laws to make sure it's OK (perhaps you already have). It would be a shame to do all the work and have to un-do it. I'll check this weekend and try to get a photo, etc. I'd get the CD based manual first. I know todras@yahoo.com on the list here and a few others sell them under $10.
