As the title says, there's a possibility I'd be willing to grab it if fits! Thanks in advance!

Yeppers... and Miata, RX7, MX6/626 (even the later ones, I have a '99 MX6 wheel in Chuck), MPV, Protege... might be leaving something out but those are the ones I know offhand.
edit: Just realized I missed the word tilt in your title? So are you asking if the column will work? I do not think so, I was under the dash of an early 323 recently and if it could work it would take a good bit of fabbing to say the least. But the wheel itself will fit.Last edited by htchbck; 02-10-2012, 09:24 PM.No festiva for me ATM...

Sorry I should have been more clear, yes I was asking about the actual column itself and thanks Joseph! Even thou that's bad news!! I've always thought the festiva wheel looked way high like a semi or something, but I also came here from foxbodies and you can have them right in your lap! I figured maybe I was just used to them. For you guys that have installed a tilt wheel, was it worth it? I know RJ just did the swap but I haven't seen many others, I assumed because of there scarcity.1992 white L, Bp, American racing 13's, stock trans.

Horribly unworth it to me. Wifey's '88LX has it. She is 5'6" about 140lbs, and I am 6'3" about 220. Both of us drive the car with the wheel all the way up all the time, and it sits in exactly the same spot as the non tilt wheels in our other three cars. If you really want the wheel to scrub your crotch while driving you could just get some spacers and longer bolts where the wheel bolts to the underside of the dash. That will achieve about the same effect as a tilt wheel in the down position. But I don't have the time to do that lol. I'm too busy installing a gearset in my broken 5 speedlol

Yes. I had spacers (large nuts) and longer bolts in mine. You can put the column any height you want but you can't adjust it.:cry_smile: RIP. 91 Ford festiva BP swap
