MK1 Tilt AND Telescope

IDon'tKnow · 10-29-2009, 11:02 PM

Does anyone know of any successful attempts at
giving the MK1 a tilt and telescope column?

Do the USDM MK2's have telescope or is that just the JDM cars?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles to find a good driving position, or find a comfortable balance between pedal distance, shift lever, and streering wheel reach.

I think it would be nice to swap in the SW20 assembly not just for the telescope convienience, but also because the wiper and light controls are on the column. Not sure how much fun it would be to wire that up, hopefully it would be some simple splicing. By moving those two controls to the cloumn, space would be freed up that could be used for two small gauges that would be right in the drivers line of sight.

I think the telescoping is only JDM

That's what I suspected.

I guess this is uncharted territory then. If I want to know how difficult the retrofit will be I suppose I'll have to attempt it. I'm waiting on a Quaife rack and pinion anyway, so I might as well give this a go.

Now, just need to get a good deal on Otecks column.
