No problem, the '97 isn't fitted with a passenger side airbag.

OK thanks, I thought that would be the case. I'm presuming I could then just remove the bulb from behind the dash to eliminate this ? Stupid question but am I likely to run into any other problems ? I'm not sure if the airbag system will affect any of the other electrical systems.

Just recently bought my first Impreza - a silver '97 UK turbo and I've been more than impressed with it. It is currently 100% standard (except for a set of Wolfrace alloys), but not for long. I'm looking at doing a few interior modifications first with the most important being a new steering wheel as I find the standard one a little on the large side and not quite 'sporty' enough. Anyway I've been looking on e-bay and have seen a couple of the newer Momo steering wheels that were fitted on all Impreza's after '98 I believe and although I like it I'm still not sure if it is for me. I then seen THIS and have kinda fallen in love with it. The only problem is it is a non airbag model, which I'm ok with, but am wondering if there will be any problems removing the standard steering wheel and disconnecting the airbag unit. I know it sounds stupid but will this result in the airbag warning light being constantly displayed on the dash ? Also, if anybody could help me source a compatible boss for this steering wheel it would be much appreciated. Cheers in advance for any help. Steve.
