if the height is a problem, get bucket seats

if the length is a problem, recline

if the legs touch the steering wheel, get a racing steering wheel

don't give up the hope!

I'm about your size and fit fine. I still have the stock steering wheel and also have a sunroof. With a helmet on I just fit. It really depends on how you sit when driving a car. I know one guy that is over 300 lbs and about 63 and fits in his fd and miata. If anything, you could always get a different wheel and seats.

I'm 6'4", 240lbs and fit into my R1 perfectly, I even think I could fit with a helmet on. As to the s2000 thing, the s2000 interior is WAY smaller than the FD and is not a good comparison. My shins are up against the dash in the passenger side of an s2000 with the seat ALL the way back while I'm stretching out in an FD with plenty of room to spare. I can't even get myself into an s2000 driver seat, unless the steering wheel is removable https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Best thing to do is sit in one, better yet, drive one if you can find someone that trusts you enough to drive thier baby (the only people I trust enough to drive mine already own FDs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR )

Tecknics,

That was a good one dude. You had me laughing there. anyways I am 6' 1" and I drive my fd around fine. I have room to spare. I am only 180 lbs though. When I first got it I found it hard to get the seat belt clicked in but now I am used to it. You should be fine.

No **** man. I wondered the same thing before I started looking. After my first test drive I would have taken the seat out to fit if I needed to. These cars are that sweet https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif
