Exclamation ?? ?Can you adjust the Steering Wheel Height? ??
GOD. Ever since I've had my car, Its been bugging me...

The steering wheel...

Its too far up. Is it adjustable? I couldn't find a lever, or button or something.

And I missing it?

I don't think I've ever heard someone say it was too high before Usual complaint is it's too low for heel-toe shifting at the track. But yeah like paps said, no adjustablility.

Just take off the screws holding the steering column to the dash frame, ghetto adjustability.

Bad habit. The way FD's are meant to be driven can only be done with 2 hands on the wheel.

I always hated the lack of a tilt feature. Makes it difficult to get in and out of the car for me. I went with a smaller wheel.

If you shift your hand to the 1 or 2 o clock position you'll be even cooler.

gay

every real USDM 2nd gen turbo car I've ever seen had tilt steering. Way to downgrade Mazda, it's not worth the .14 kilograms of weight savings or whatever.
