I'm 6'2" and I have enough room. But when I'm at an autocross wearing a helmet, I dont have a fitted one so I have to race with the helmet in the sunroof tracks. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

You can buy me a fitted helmet if you like. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

wow really, i read something comparing the 944 and fc's. the 944 was a little bigger but basically the same size. i'm not especially tall but i sometimes feel like a damn cricket driven a small car. feels like i'm gonna start a fire with my nuts squished https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

I'm 6'2" no problems here. I do have the seat all the way back, and leaned all the way back. I even had about 1/2" head room when I had a helmet on.

I'm 6'4" and I fit in my TII with no problems....I'm sure I'll have trouble with a helmet, though.

I am 6'2" and fit fine in my GXL. Opening the sunroof won't help because it is centered in the top and you still have the sides around it that your head can hit.

I'm 6'3", sometimes 6'4", depending on how you measure me, I guess. I fit fine in my fc. Tilt steering would be nice, but I'm ok without it. Sometimes my head rubs, but I can just lean the seat back a little more.



Here's a nice way to gauge it: If I sit straight up (my back off of the seat), the roof is about 1 1/2" or 2" too low.

I'm 6'4" and i fit only in verts without fabrication work on the seat brackets

you will NEED a smaller steering wheel



i have a 36" inseam so my legs are always a problem



i bolted the stock seat directly to the mounts without the brackets in my GTU (rip)





dont even try to fit into a 3rd gen..you'll get stuck and it will create an emabrassing situation https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png





also, if are into fabrication, you can just make some crossmembers to make the car just as stiff as a coupe, its on my to-do list

yeah nick is a big fucker. i put my seat all the way to the back and im only 5'11'' and nick is my witnessed i always bang my head on the door trying to get it. Im like wtf im not that tall. My boys is 6'4'' and is built like a mack truck and he gets in and out of his rx-4 and rx-7 with no trouble. lol

godamn most of you guys are over 6 feet im almost there. maybe if i loose 50 poundz maybe i can regain a inch so i can join the 6' tall rx7 krew. lol. hey are u 6' ft guys white?. cause i tend to notice that white people tend to be much taller and older looking than us hispanics. i see hs students in long island and they loook like college students. i look at hs students in queens and they look younger like jhs students i dunno. lol
