Air Bag Question
 

Does the front passenger air bag have a disable feature so younger children can sit up front? I seem to remember seeing a pic of this from one of the Japanese cars but don't remember seeing it in the US spec car. My 7 year old is wanting to sit up front with dad :) ONCE MY CAR ACTUALLY GETS HERE :mad:

See this thread: http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.p...threadid=7345. The answer to your question is "No, not in the US."
:mad:

so is that the delete plug on the dash all US cars have?

You'll need to petition NHTSA for a waiver.


Edit: IF the car doesn't come with one from the factory.

the cars that they drove at laguna seca have this
