John need Daikei Hub with airbag light elimnator

Hey guys I need to order or preferably buy locally a hub for my NA that will fit a standard Sparco wheel and was wondering where the preferred place to get one is. I've been told I want Daikei brand and the only place I've seen them, Rev9, they charge $80 extra if you don't want the airbag light to flash. Thanks.

I thought your car already had a non-airbag wheel...?

Anyhow... going on BR's advice, I got the Daikei hub and it was money well spent. It's absolutely plug 'n' play. However, if you search Miata.net I think you'll find some writeups in the Garage section that will tell you how to fix the flashing airbag light with resistors and soldering and other technical monkey business. I'm just not that smart... :rolleyes:

I think R-Speed carries the Daikei hub for about $130... maybe? I got mine from some place that's out of business now.

Nope it has an airbag alright, was there any miata sold in USA without one? Any other suggestions for less than $130 or should I go with the regular Daikei and just try to stop the airbag light via resistors and such. R Speed only have the Daikei for NB and NC.

William I think you are going to get on in about on hour and I am looking at Daikei on your recommendation so what do you suggest? I understand other hubs besides Daikei are difficult to install but if it will take an hour longer to install but you save $60 isn't that worth it since you won't be taking it off once it goes on? Any differences between Daikei and cheaper ones other than ease of install?

Edit: I found a solitary Airbag eliminator circuit for $30 from miata roadster which would allow me to just get the regular Daikei hub but I can't find anywhere that has it in stock, Rev9's site says it's a special order. So what about the works bell hub for $135 from miata roadster is there any reason I should avoid that one?

I haven't had much experience with other hubs so I can't comment. Supposedly Mr. BRG bought an eBay one that worked well and was stupid cheap. Dunno anything other than that. Wags told me.

If you were in a crunch, I could let you borrow my hub and I could but the stock wheel on. Just replace it for me later. My car will be at Rogues place anyway for the next ten days.

Let me know. two - won - fore - seven - O - 7 - Nine won - won too.

Just remove the light bulb. Takes about 15 minutes.

Yes, but that will also set off annoying beepers under the dash...

It's 2 wks for Rev9 to get the hub, and Miataroadster is out of the Works hub as well.

Not to throw this thread into a hard drift, but does that mean that you're getting the nose done? :D

My reason for always being up this late is insomnia, I'd guess BR has a better excuse like working till that early or something crazy like that, but yea I noticed he is always on at 4:30am.

I leave for work about 4:30 am to be at work at 5:00 am. ::Shout::

Didn't know my daily ritual was so fascinating. ::wow::

Not that easy to get to. It's buried in the dash at the top of the firewall. Basically a dash pull is required.

Well I ordered the Daikei without airbag eliminator from Rev9 today. I plan on either making my own airbag eliminator circuit or buying a standalone one like WorksBell for $30 rather than paying an extra $85 for it like Rev9 wants.

No need to pull the dash...if someone has small hands.

I have the airbag eliminator from Rev9 already connected to the plug. I don't need it since I removed the airbag crap and the bulb. You can have it for $10.
