dont think i would bother dude
i can guarantee people who have a tilt wheel dont even use it
%99.9 of the time the wheel at the highest setting is most comfortable.. if its any lower u cant see the speedo...
and quite frankly if u have it at the lowest setting and u see the speedo fine ur to short to be driving imo

Re: installing tilting steering wheel (thaimonkey)
well.. ive wanted a tilt steering wheel in my civic ever since i owned it. The stock steering wheel is just too big, and its way to high for my liking.
A customer of mine crashed his 2000 GSR a few months back. He bought a new shell and had us swap the motor in. Before we tossed away the old shell, i pulled a few parts for my eg, like the power steering and rack, tilt wheel, ignition, and a few misc pieces.
I installed it last night. I had to repin on of the 3 pin connectors that goes into the fuse box. the integra and civic were pined completely different. It was a 100% bolt in, fit like a glove with no problems. I also installed my MOMO Monte Carlo steering wheel while i was at it.
Overall feeling: I LOVE IT! I dont feel like im driving a bus anymore, and my car feels much more responsive now.
Easy upgrade, relativly cheap and great results. PM me for more details or a how-to

yes it's very possible. I love mine, I hated how high the wheel was originially. Be sure you get the plastic that goes around the column, it is not that same as the non-tilt version.
Pick up a DelSol or EX/SI tilt column for an EG. But I don't know what to use on an EK.
I put a DelSol column in my EG, it took me a leisurely 4 hours to do it, but I also did a lot of other little things at the same time.
Difficulty scale, 6/10, for keeping the airbag reel correct and the wheel turned right. Actual work is maybe 3/10.
The Helm manual helps a lot.
