ey skunk, i believe you where the one who thought me how do the DIY grill on Car domain and all those other stuff like pulley(even emailed me to help me out about those things). hehe now i remeber. Now, all you need is a RSX 05 leather seats haha
Really? That's cool. I remember back in early 2004 this one guy on cardomain.com (exclusive) had installed the mesh but didn't want to tell anybody how he did it because he wanted to be the only one with it. It pissed me off, really, so when I figured it out, I posted the DIY on cardomain. I've been thinking it would be cool to have some S2000 seats, but they are pricey and I'm not sure whether they would bolt right in or need mods to fit. They feel good, I kow that much. I haven't looked at RSX seats yet.... I'll have to check them out and sit in one. It'll be a while before I get seats though, because right now I'm saving up to get the rear disk brake swap.

Hey skunk. I think I saw your car a few weeks ago. You were parked at blockbuster near the mall all crooked and shit . WHen i was riding by i was like WTF?? A modded 7thgen in albany thats not riced out?
Haha! Yes, that was me. Nobody ever parks in that area at blockbuster, so I thought "why not put it on display?" Thanks for the compliments though. Appreciate it. I'm very seriously thinking about saving up to do a manual tranny swap because it's gonna be forever before I would be able to get a K20A2, and I'm so sick and tired of the car being in control of the gears.
Now that I've driven for a couple of weeks with this wheel, I've got to admit it's one of my favourite mods. It feels soooo nice. Just got to work on that tranny now!
Holy crap, Nick! Is that twin-turboed stang yours?

I bought it from www.importautosalvage.com, a junk yard in North Carolina, for $375-$400 total. Can't remember the exact price, but it was well worth it in my opinion... $300 worth of it was my Christmas present from my parents! Haha!
I'm a bit late on this but I believe on ClubRSX, what someone did was swap the entire detonator itself.
The RSX, EP3, Insight and S2000 steering wheels are all of the same design and airbags are interchangable. The RSX and EP3 are all dual stage. The JDM DC5-R was single stage like the early S2000/Insights.
The Insight, like the S2000 changed to dual stage in the same year. They use exactly the same airbag.
I had an 02 S2000 wheel/bag on my car and never hooked up the bag. I recently switched it out for a newer bag with dual stage. I have yet to wire it up but the bag obviously fit perfectly on the old wheel.

From my research on honda-tech regarding the issue, I'm not so sure you have a working airbag even if the SRS light isn't on...
The system which uses a dual-stage inflator automatically adjusts the deployment of the driver and front passenger's SRS airbags based on the severity of the crash. During a slower speed collision, the dual-stage inflator system is triggered in sequence, resulting in slower overall airbag deployment with less initial force. During a high-speed collision, both inflators operate simultaneously for full immediate inflation, to correspond with the greater impact force.
The airbag will not function properly because it's a dual stage bag and won't deploy correctly with just one set of wires hooked up. BOTH detonators have to go off to fill the bag, the only thing that differs in light to hard crashes is the TIMING of their deployment.
If you use the single stage airbag, you may not really have one and you may risk more injury that if you left it disconnected... even if your SRS light is off, as this is only a matter of resistance in the wiring.
The design of the airbag deployment is different. My advice: BE SAFE, get an S2000 AP2 wheel/airbag since those are readily available and already engineered as dual stage then sell your single stage to someone with a single-stage SRS system to recoup some costs.
