Few questions about my car

[WhtMa71]

Ok so ive been wondering this for a while. My car is an 89 but it has square mounts and the little stiffener. I didnt really think too much about it until i got my JDM swap and it had the round mounts. So my only thought is that early 89's came with the square mounts? Im guessing if it was made in 88 and sold as an 89 or something to that effect. So if i ever get solid mounts or do a swap i with have to get the pre89 ones i guess.
Also..my tilt wheel only has 1 position which is pretty low and sucks becuase when i go to hit the brakes i hit my knee on the wheel. How many positions should it have? Thanks for some input.

some of the early 89's had the 88 mounts and a few other things from the 86.5-88's. my guess is it was a way to use some of the old stock to save a little money. So, yes unless you swap your front x member you will need to rock square style mounts.

on your tilt, there is several levers to adjust it. one of them is a memory sort of lever, im guessing you are just using the wrong lever for your tilt

DOH i feel like an idiot on the tilt qestion. I just walked outside to look at my car and saw at lever on the bottom..Never noticed it before lol..Thanks!

just make sure its the right one, there is another that adjusts the distance the wheel sits from you. I wish i could tell you which of the 3 levers did what and where they were specifically, i only know that the most obvious one to see and adjust is for the memory tilt thinger.

My car is RHD and i almost never adjust my tilt (like 3 times maby in the 2 years i have owned this car). i think a few levers might be in different spots for me, probably just opposite sides but whatever.

hopefully that was helpful

Haha thanks..Yea i figured out which one it was..one on the very bottom down by the vent. Just never noticed it was down there.

Many of my 89's had the early mounts.

A few of them even had early mounts with no torque strut.
