bucket seats and steering

mine height is 5"11 and waist 34".

getting in and out of the fd3s is a PITA, im currently having the bride bucket seats, its the side that is blocking my entry and exit. And i suppose i can forget abt wearing a helmet, bye bye tracking.

furthermore, my tigh is touching the bottom of the steering wheel.

can anyone advice me on what i can do.

You're smaller than a lot of guys (including myself) that track the car all the time. I'm 6'1" and weigh 195 and I track my touring all the time. My advice is for you to get a quick release hub and a smaller steering wheel. Those are next on my list also.

lol brides are mad for tiny japanese men lol.... get a 330mm steering wheel (got on by accident adds a hella lot leg/thigh room..

lower rails if you dont have them already...

do you have a sun roof?


buckets seats will always be a pita to get in and out of because of the side that holds your thigh

you can also just buy a steering wheel spacer. that gives you more leg room bringing the wheel closer to you

im 6ft3, 34in waist and 15st(210pounds) and ive developed a set of rails for bucket seats that can actually go further back than i need so covers people up to 6ft6 so cant see how your having issues, though brides are made for skinny people!

A quick release kit, I think, is a must and I'd get the lowest seat rails possible.
