Adjustable steerin column

Chemical · Post by **Chemical** » February 14th, 2006, 2:17 pm

I keep reading about MX3's with adjustable steering columns...? I don't have one!

Meaning Tilt?

My 92 GS and my 95 RS have tilt.

Yup, Tilt... If I have it then where is the mechanism? Cant see it under the column where they usually are.

Not all of them have it. And yes a lever under the column.

I didn't know that either. I thought almost all E-Spec, AU Spec and J Spec were almost transparently identical. NO A/C was the norm for all E-Spec? And AU Spec too? Even still, I think the majority of us NA spec owners would gladly exchange our spec for your's - all things considered.

Well with the 4 pots yes but not the V6. You guys get that cool 93 dash which I just want so bad! I think the AU one is a eunos so its basically J- spec so is full of goodies- Grants would know better but from memory I think thats true. I havent come across one with folding mirrors here either- not that any of these things are essential but i like my toys.

The '93s here came out with the tilt steering wheel but not after that. They changed the seats so musta thought it unnecessary. Heres a pic of the tilt mech (just ignore the arrows):

That lever dead centre of the steering column folds down and allows adjustment.

The Eunos brand was a "luxury" brand. Heres a link to an original brochure (2.3mb pdf file). That pretty much shows what was standard.

Thats wierd. Both my 92 GS and my 95 RS have it.

Yeah my 94 is a complete strip down version.. it basically has no options.. no power windows, no tilt, no AC, no Cruise Control, no Sunroof, no rear wiper. The only option it came with is the one option I wish it didnt come with.. the ATX.

I had the same column in my old '90 Base model 323 H/B as well but that was a hit or miss option on the base models

so does anybody out there know if there are interchngable adjustable or tilt steering columns? maybe out of a protege or 323? all the mx's at the scrap yard don't have tilt. found one, but I was short on funds that week.... it was crushed

pretty sure 323 would work fine.
