<![CDATA[Adjustable steering column]]>The original owners manual is delightfully Japanese and full of features that arent actually included on the UK spec model I have.

I did notice that some models were factory fitted with adjustable steering columns. I assume this was for the US market where average body mass is slightly higher than in europe or japan. I also assume that US spec cars and spares are relatively uncommon over here.

However I am a big bloke and I confess my getting in and out of the MX3 can be an amusing sight. So I wondered if anyone knew anything about fitting an adjustable column to a UK spec car from another markets model or from a Mazda that shares the floor pan.

Let me know what you know.
Thanks
Ben

The other way round that a lot of small boats do is cut the bottom of the wheel off or get a smaller wheel with power steering it wont get much tougher to drive or get one of these ….......
