Not really. There aren't any that are a straight swap; You're going to need a hub adapter and to do some rewiring to relocate those cruise controls any way about it....So just find something you like which has an adapter available and start looking to source a steering column from an 89+.

I don't plan on using the cruise control at all, and it doesn't even work on my car anyway; and so if I skip all the cruise control would that make it any easier on me?

Ok, so I know I'm gonna need an adapter, but if I take the steering column from an 89', How difficult would it be to switch the new column out with my old one?

Sure, then just find a compatible wheel or one which takes hubs, have a horn button and be done.

As luck would have it, There is an 89' that sits down the street from me and its just rotting away. Now I'm gonna go start taking parts from that one and then see what I can come up with as far as a decent steering wheel.

Any info on how to take the steering column from the 89' and put it in mine would really be helpful; As well as, any info on which air intake would be the best for my 7mgte. As far as HP and throttle response is all I'm looking for

Also, my front emblem on the car came off and I was wondering if one of the new emblems from a 91 or up would fit. I had the purple square one and it was just hideous looking, so I would like a newer one, preferably the black emblem with the toyota rings, so does anybody know if that's a straight swap or what?

cre 03-01-2011 02:50 AM

Yes, the emblem is a direct fit. Black is the only color that's still available. As for all the rest of your questions... put them all in one post... easier to track that way.

The column isn't the big iddues, the wire harness is different, IIRC. I don't know if they're different but in '89 and newer progressive power steering was an option so you may want to try to avoid a column from such an equipped MKIII.

Ok, will do about the questions and posts; However, the 89' down the street is not turbo and has cloth seats, not leather. I'm guessing that one is ideal. It has the white gauges that go up to 160. Is that really an 89'?

cre 03-01-2011 04:06 AM

'89+ GTE went up to 160MPH, I can't remember if the N/A's did or if they kept the 150. The 160 is a direct swap though.

No the MKIII never came with white gauge faces. EL faces are available from a few different manufacturers though.

I'm sure it would be fine, I think you only need the housing and control stems... and to modify your own harness to work with them.
