Default Fitting an SC430 steering wheel

Hey guys I just recently bought the SC430 steering wheel from ACleanSC4, Tony. It is said that the 2001 RX airbag fits and other pre 2001 3 spoke airbags fit also. This is not the case since we just found out that the 3 spoke single stage airbag doesnt work also. What else would work besides the 2001 RX?

if your car is pre 98, youll need a wire adapter to make it work. check the supra forums for the adapter they use for the 2000 celica steering wheel/airbag.

Thanks for the fast response but Im also aware of the adapter. But before I even worry about the adaptor, I need a black SINGLE stage airbag that fits for a reasonable price. The pre 2001 3 spoke GS doesnt fit according to Tony. The 2001 RX would be really nice and ideal but its pricey and rare. If nothing can be worked out, Ill just ebay the steering wheel

post a pic of the wheel...

The rx airbag should fit but if not try the is300/alteeza or the celica/mr2.... check my gallery as i have played with different combos... there may be a pic that fits your wheel.

oh i believe the 99 rX300 ones work don't they? I believe they do, or look for a 98-00 gs3/4 airbag, there are some on ebay right now actually.

Just change the center symbol... they can be changed. We need to see the shape of your
wheel to better help u as the older GS4/sc4 airbag is slightly larger than the rx and newer gs and IS...

the airbag I got off ebay which listed under 98-00 GS is too small. The steering wheel he has needs 01+ airbags...

I have a 3spoke airbag, but its too small

Jonathan, I know that your 01 GS airbag fits on my car and so does the SC430 airbags. But is it single stage though????
