FYI Air Bag.

Postby Boyracer » Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:21 am

Here are a couple of photos of the passenger side air bag out of the Silver SE...it took out the windscreen and rear view mirror.

Weighs in at about 4kg.

From the back.

I don't think there was a passenger because the drivers seat belt was badly stretched and the passenger side was ok...reckon it would give you a good headache.

usually just burns and ringing ears - they inflate exceptionally quickly and loudly from what i've seen in video's of real world testing with a real driver etc.
