adding tilt steering

What are you serious? My ZX3 came with tilt and tlescoping whats wrong with yours?

Not all come with it. My '05 ZX3 is an "S" and it has NOTHING. I plan on adding things later like tilt, Fogs, Tach and such.

So let me ask you something... why did you get the bone stock ZX3?

Every US Focus ZX3 I have been in has had it.

The "S" models are bare bones, don't come any more stripped down. I paid $9600 for it brand new. Paying that for it, I can save some money by adding my own extras. A used column isn't very expensive at all. I'm just curious about the steering wheel, removing and installing the steering column itself, isn't that big of a deal. Also, I'd like to know how a black wheel looks with the dark gray (graphite, or whatever they call it) dash. The dash in my '05 isn't like a dark black, it's more of a light black color, if that makes any since. I've been thinking about an SVT wheel. Any opinions??? Pics would be nice if someone has any.

Every Focus wheel is black. The SVT has a perferated leather areas.

contact SteveO on here and ask him about what you need for it, he has already done the swap.

The wheel in my focus is definitly NOT black, it's gray.

use washers on the bolts holding the steering rack in place to lower it.. cheaper than tilt.. and how much do you need to adjust it anyways

You could be turning and the column would fall out of place.

wtf?

how does putting washers on the bolts inbetween the steerign rack and mounting points weaken it in ANY way?
i could understand if you put so many on that the bolt only threads 1/2 way into the nut, but there is plenty of extra bolt..

and if you were really scared of it you could buy some longer bolts

hey let me know how the swap goes i need to do mine. damn base model 00 zx3. not by choice got it used. i might do this then get a hub and quick release too
