I've been thinking about getting a sparco steering wheel. However, since my car has the gay *** stretch belts, should I keep the stock wheel for the airbag so if I did wreck it, the airbag may help my torso?
maybe a good wreck is what he needs to get his ***** to drop down
WTF has happened to you?
I read over there on M.net that even the non airbag Canadian cars had the stretch loops too. I wonder how much of a difference they really make? I bought a momo hub over the cheapies b/c the momo is collaspseable in the event of a really bad accident...

Well, you don't have to worry about going that fast in a non-turbo Miata, now do you?

I'm about to use some of these frequent flies miles to deltsmash your skulls. You've been warned. If I didn't have an 18-year old coming over, I'd write some long, drawn out description of house I'm going to horsefuck your soul.
anywho... belts have a loop that is stitched together. When you crash, theoretically they tear and that tearing gives you a more gradual movement into the airbag. Just guessing, but if it works it probably protects your neck by preventing you head from whipping forward and then getting smacked backwards by the airbag. The tearing belt would allow your whole body to move forward instead of just you head.
The worry is if you still have the loop and crash you have an extra couple inches of movement in which to smash your face on the steering wheel. The stitching can be carefully cut and pulled out without damaging the belt.
