I didn't care much a bout adjusting the steering wheel until yesterday when I had my friend driving it, and he wanted to lower the steering wheel a bit. I bought my 96 ti half a year ago and still have no idea how to do it. __________________

I dont believe any of the ti's have a tilt wheel. __________________

No but it is possible to retrofit it. __________________ ...steven

I know this has been brought up B4 but has anyone considered that the mod to make it tilt involves removing a pin, maybe replacing another (can't remember) and frontal crash safety? I'd hate to regret the mod as my steering column detaches and enters my chest cavity :\ __________________

Tilt steering wheels where available on UK models AFAIK.
If you are comparing a factory installed mod to aftermarket, I'd be concerned too. __________________ ...steven

Interesting though that the versions had tilt as an option. Wonder if we can get parts and what all we need to swap over....? __________________
