I'm 6'5", do you think I would be able to fit in an FD with stock seats?

Also, Hello Rx-7 Boards :]

 

go find one for sale and sit in it to find out

A few tips. 1: models with sunroofs have about an inch less headroom. try to find one with a solid top.
2: I know you asked about stock seats, but obviously racing seats will lower your *** and thus give you more headroom.
3: For legroom, you'll probably need to get a smaller steering wheel and/or a spacer.

 

I'm 6'2 250.. With a aftermarket steering wheel I'm ok.

 

I plan on it. I'm just bored at work and anxious to see if I will actually fit in my dream car ;p

What do you mean by a spacer?

Thanks for the tips.

 

6'3" 210lbs. I fit quite nicely in my USDM, but I can't fit in a JDM.

 

"uz a HUGE bitch!" from duce bigalow male gigolo

 

I don't know how you all fit in the FD at those measurements. I'm 5'6" and after long drives, even I felt cramped.

 

is that possible? im 5' 7" and i love it.
but i dont own an FD, i just drive my friends every now and then

 

Maybe you're just claustrophobic or something. I feel very comfortable, even when I went on a 13 hour road trip. I don't even have the seat all the way back, nor is it reclined much.

 

im 5'11" and i fit perfectly in my FD, got about an inch and a half of headroom and tons of leg room, even on long trips, i feel fine.

 

Hey,

I guess at the worse case you can get a model with a sunroof and drive with your head out of it hahahah, Im 182cm tall and I am fine... i have a friend that is 6'4" and he is fine with aftermarket seats

yup, just like everyone else said, you will be fine.

 

I'm 5' 10" and felt more than comfortable even with a helmet. Just tilted the seat back a little for more clearance.

 

You can buy spacers to force the steering wheel a little closer to your chest and away from your knees.

Mahjik has a lot of info about these if you search his username. I think he's using a quick release system to double as a spacer as well as making it easier to get in and out of the car(it's nice and easy to climb in when there's no wheel to contourt around.

I have no hands on knowledge of this stuff, I'm pretty average in height(5'10ish), but from reading what everyone else has said this is what I've walked away with.

FWIW, even at 5'10, my head hit the headliner in a touring model(sunroof) and my friends PEP(also sunroof), but I have plenty of clearance in my base(solid top), but I also have a racing seat, so that helps..

 

6'2" Here and i fit ok in my touring until i slip a helmet on. Then it's crouch and duck.

 

6'2'' stock seats and wheel with a sunroof. Tilt the seat back slightly, good to go. Knees hit the wheel a little, smaller wheel or spacer and I'm golden. I'm going to have them shave a little foam off the bottom of the seats when my seats get their new skins, I should be able to bang a fat chick without hitting my head on the roof after that.

 

6.4 and no problems here. I'd be screwed if i had to wear a helmet though.

 

my younger bro is 6.10 at 260lbs and there is no way he can even shut the door sitting in the drivers side

 

im 6`2 it feels great to me. i love small cars.

 

He must not have all his extra weight evenly distributed, because when I first got my car a year ago, I was at 300lbs and still could get in and enjoy the ride.

I fit much better now though after losing 1/4 of all that weight.

 

This is a thread on this every week and the answer is yes IM 6'5 and ill show you why...
