tilt steering wheel

alright, my steering wheel does not have the option to tilt up or down, i was just curious about this, cause im 16 and not that tall of a guy, 5'6, 5'7, with the bucket seats i sit pretty low in the car, like i can see over the steering wheel fine and everything i would just perfer if it could come down an inch or two, i transformed the whole interior of my car pretty much to look like a 97 rolla, but its really a 94, anyway. i was wondering if its possible if i found a tilt steering wheel inside a corolla and took it all out would it be possible to fit it in my car? if so what parts would i need?
thanks
do 7th gens come with the tilt steering wheel? the newer models?

Sit up kid

Teenagers always lean back when they drive. That's because they're cool. There is a reason why they make the steering wheel so high. That's because if you are leaning back too far when you drive, you can't see around you. That or you have long legs and a short torso. 5'6" is not really that short. Remember, women drive these, and short Japanese peope as well.

Possible? Yes... easy? Probably not. I've never tried it as I don't need to (my 95 came with one), but good luck if you go for it.

Edit: It wouldn't hurt to mention that my friend's 93 has a tilt steering wheel, too.

its as easy as swapping a steering column. remember to make sure that the donor column hasnt been spun and ruined the clockspring inside and that its on center when you go together, otherwise you'll end up with your wheel 180 degrees out from where it should be.

Ive only seen a handful of base models, and all those have been in the wrecking yards. All 3 of mine have been dx's or the le and have had it. Now since you don't have a tilting column, you don't have a airbag either right, as that was the common denominator on those corollas.

Weird. Its odd how toyota packaged them, should have just made the drivers bag standard.
