i've been wanting to buy an rx7 for quite a long time now... i finally found one that was in very good condition.. i go and sit in a 87 n/a and the center console and the steering wheel were hitting my knee when i moved from the gas to the brake. i am about 6'3'' and i was wondering if there is any hope for me and a rotary powered car. that hasn't been modified. are the 3rd gen or maybe a t2 will have more knee room help me out guys :unsure:

T2 is the exact same size as the the NA

did u move the steering wheel up?

the fc is the biggest rotary car, you might fit better with an aftermarket seat?



mike

my buddy is 6'5 and he fits in his FD

i mean i fit but i couldn't really move my knees enuff to move my foot from the gas to the brake comfortably. FD is 3rd gen right. hmm and the steering wheel didn't move. or we couldn't find the thing that made it. its like in front of a repair shop and that place just let me sit in it for a minute cause i had to get to school. its in like perfect condition and was like $2350. had like 100k miles. how much do u think insurance would be for that car and a 17 year old with a perfect record i have AAA. cause my parents are concerned about that. thanks

im 6'3 and i fit fine with some extra room in my fc. height wise i dont even need to redline my chair much.

My stupid car makes my back hurt now, but it's probably me, not the car.

im a little short for mine, yes i know how can someone be to short

aftermarket seat like my Corbeau targa RS's will raise the seat height......

Everybody's knees hit the instrument panel... mine do and I'm 3 in shorter than you.



You could always be like that one guy in the movie Gattaca https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Well don't buy a 1st gen than. Riding in my 2nd gen seems HUGE compared to driving my 1st gen. Just mess with the seat and steering wheel a bit and you should be alright. Even though it feels strange at first, you will get use to it pretty quick. Every car feels strange the first time you sit in it or drive it.

I am 6'4" and I fit into my FC just fine. Just lean the seat back a little and work the pimp slouch.
