You should have tried getting in when I had the door bars welded in. Took me 5 minutes to figure out how to get in, then damn near couldn't get out. Since I cut the door bars and added the hinges, the bars sit in the shop most of the time.

I fit fine, but I'm 160 lbs and 5'9". When my friend drives my car (6'4", 190 lbs), he has trouble driving comfortably (He always complains about the steering wheel being huge!). I think it'd be okay for you, but definately look into a smaller steering wheel like RETed recommended.

I have FC's and an SA and the FC's seat goes back a few more clicks. Plus FC has the adjustable steering column. The storage bins do cause some trouble when trying to recline the seats.

Trust me, I eat plenty, I just have a ridiculous metabolism, and the FC not having air doesn't help at all. Every day, 4 5pc nuggets and a 3/4lb cheeseburger from wendys.

6'3" 210 lbs, was hard getting used to having my legs spread halfway to china and back because the steering wheel won't lift up enough...

Give it a week or 2, you'll be used to it. Now I can't live without my 7.
