I'm looking to buy an FD in the coming month or so, and I was just wondering if any of you guys had issues fitting inside. I'm 6'4 and 165lbs. I know I have trouble fitting into a Miata, but this is mainly because the steering column doesn't adjust.



Thanks for the help.

steering column is fixed in a FD also but i think you will fit just don't plan on wearing a helmet or you will need an even lower bucket seat

Hmm...I don't like that no-helmet idea as I do like to auto-x. What if its a car with out a sunroof...will that allow for enough room?

i'm 6'2" and i fit.. you may get proficient at moving the headliner for autox events to get more headroom. Not sure if that is allowed or not in your class though..

You'll fit in an fd, it's bigger then a miata enough to make it work.

You'll fit. Seat right back, with the back support clicked back 2 or 3 notches.

I'm 6'1" and I fit but with the sunroof in my car It's next to impossible to wear a helmet without kicking the seat way back. It would be a tight fit for you no doubt.
