I was wondering if anyone knew if the steering wheel in the 1.1 moves up and down,as i keeping bashing my knee caps on it?
As my dad swears blind in his 1.5D it use to do it.

Plus is there anyway of moving the front seats up or down in height too?

put your seats back = legs streched further, therfore less bend in knees = less knee knocking on steering wheel :)

You could get some one off subframes knocked up by a fabricator with different height settings(probably cost abit though) and change the steering wheel for a smaller sportier one this should give you some clearance also by changing the steering wheel it would mean fitting a boss kit, this would extend the s/wheel out hopefully clearing your knees. Hope this helps!

I guess if you really really wanted you could work something out with a bit of modding. It is actually possible to tilt the steering wheel up abit but it would require quite a lot of custom work to dash + steering support columns.

If you look at the attached picture this is what your steering wheel looks like if you take your dash out.

As you can see it is possible to point it upwards, but the dash gets in the way a long with various other objects...


I may be wrong, im sure someone will correct me if i am ;)
