Thank you, car was set up for the owner and I didn't want to adjust anything but the wheel felt high in comparison to what I prefer.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had myself a sit in an early (T plate) Boxster yesterday. Steering wheel adjustment in and out but not up and down. When did they bring in the up and down adjustment, I see it's on the 987. Did the 986S have it?

POST 3Original post

Only option on 986 is an after market momo type wheel. Usually these are smaller in diameter so give a tiny bit more room between knees to the rim. You can also add an Eccentic spacer which will raise the wheel another 10mm and gives you loads of leg room. But bear in mind if buying a momo wheel that the Eccentic spacer also adds 10mm to the depth of the adapter too so if you get a deep dish type wheel the gap between the rim of the wheel and the indicators can get pretty big. So you have to reach for the controls. Hopefully that makes sense? https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod1186/Steering-W...

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you, car was set up for the owner and I didn't want to adjust anything but the wheel felt high in comparison to what I prefer. Could lift the seat as that was adjustable but then CoG is raised. Was interested in the yellow 986S that came up in the PH ads but it sold, have a feeling it was a good 'un.

POST 5Original post

I don’t think the change in CofG caused by raising the drivers seat will be particularly noticeable, I wouldn’t worry about that. As already said the 986/996 only has reach adjustment on the steering wheel, you need a 987/997 to get height adjustment.

POST 6Original post

Most people find the wheel low not high. I'm assuming you're a shorty?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ha ha, I wasn't but I'm shrinking as I get old..... May have just been jumping from a long drive out in my Lotus Excel to the 986. The owner was probably an inch or two shorter than me, maybe he just had the seat low. (Anyone remember the day when you bought a little chrome bracket to lower the steering column of your mini or Imp? .Showing my age now)

POST 8Original post

Only ever drove one original mini and only for a few miles. Never even sat in an Imp.
