do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
as i have only ever had NAs (import and Uks) i have only seen height adjustable ones, but this rev2 turbo i breaking has a reach adjuster on it, is it rare or do they all have that, i assume it will fit into a car that doesnt have it as im thinking of putting it in my V6
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
All have height but only the GT (or it could have been an option I guess) has reach.

Mine's a GTS and it only has height adjust.
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
cool well ill def be having that for the V6 then
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
Pretty sure it's a revision thing. Rev 1 and 2 have height and reach adjustment, rev 3 onwards only have height. Not sure if this applies to UK cars though, might just be JDM.
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
poss a jdm thing then as my rev1 didnt have it and that was a uk car
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
I think mine has reach too (JDM GTS - Rev 2) so you could be right Patrick (although I can't remember as I never drive mine....)

..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

My rev1 UK NA only had the `tilt` for the angle of the wheel, and my rev1 Turbo (GT spec) has the `tilt` and `telescopic` steering column. Dunno if it was standard on the GT probably was.
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
My rev1 na has both
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
Both my turbos have both they are rev1 and 2

Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
My rev2 GTS had height and reach. My rev3 GTS has height only.
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
Rogue is right, just a rev1/2 thing. Rev3+ drivers have extendable arms as standard instead.
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
coo, well hopefully its just off with one and on with the other - but i doubt it will be that easy
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
My rev 3 GT turbo only has height also.
Re: do all turbo cars have reach and height adjustable steering columns
Remember if swapping from a non reach adjustable to a reach adjustable
column, you will also need the indicator storks wiring loom as its about
6 inches longer than the non reach unit.
This is to compensate for the extended reach of the column
4 bolts and one nut and bolt(on the spline)
hold the entire column on,very easy to replace,bout 30 mins .

I've only ever seen it on early imports.
