Steering Wheel - Honda Prelude Forum

DrSeus · 02-25-2003, 05:22 PM

This is probably a silly question, but is there anyway to move the steering wheel closer to the body? Besides moving the seat closer

. If I position the seat so I'm comfortable with the pedals, it feels like my arms are super extended. If I move the seat closer (1 click), I can ram the clutch to the floor board without even trying. I've been driving like this for 4 years in my prelude so I can deal with it but it's be nice if there was an option. I saw a Mugen Steering Bosss as the King Motorsports website. I have absolutely no clue where this even goes. But will this move the wheel closer?

Oh, I would like to retain the stock wheel and all functions.

Change the recline on your seat

Seat won't go anymore vertical. It's on the highest setting. I kind of which it went higher since my lower back seems to bug me on long drives. I think my lumbar thing is broken since I can't feel any change when I swing the lever around.

Oh well. Guess I'll just deal with it.

Hmm, I think I'm the other way around, long legs short arms.

Anyway I think we're screwed my mis-proportioned friend.

That hub is only for aftermarket steering wheels. There's no way to put a 'spacer' or anything between the stock wheel and the column, only with aftermarket wheels would you have a chance of it.

<sigh> oh well. Well, the car should last for a few more years. Only 150k miles so far. My Accord's up to 230K.

Go Honda!

It is the other way around. Short legs with long arms would mean you could easily grab the wheel. I think the seating position lends itself to your arms having to reach out more then in a regular passenger car.
