I cant help you guys. I'm 5'9" 155lbs I just make sure I don't kick the door panel or rub the bolster.

 

Agreed...

I'm 6'4 180lbs and I constantly find my feet catching the replica feed side skirts when I try to exit the car... mines rhd so the driver has even less room because of the bulge for the exhaust...

Do 7 owners even lift?

 

I do it with zero grace.... but who cares. I know anyone that took the time to watch me get out ,wants my car

 

Man if your talking about working out, that involves adding muscle which equals adding weight. I don't know about you, but I'm trying to get as much weight savings as I can get.

 

6'3 225lbs

Getting out I open the door wide, pivot in the seat and put both legs on the ground, then I lift myself up using the top of the seat.

I'm exactly the opposite, after driving the 30,000 pound digger/Derick line truck at work everyday and getting into the Rx7 to go home feels like a micromachine.

 

I'm 6'1'' and in the beginning struggled a bit and agree getting out require a bit of work, but I would swivel both my legs out then use the footrest to push myself up and out. I'm used to it though since I have an NSX just as tight but I will admit, the FD is much more fun to drive.

This one does.

I bulk to around 220-225 in the winter and get down to around 190-195 in the summer. Its noticeable weight as I am usually wider and don't fit in the seat as well. My legs grow quite a bit too but its not too bad. I can see starting to have problems if I got much bigger but I am a natural body builder so I will never get huge.

 

I'm 6ft, 265lb.

Right foot in on clutch pedal with my knee pointed towards the passenger door. I then slide in with my knee under the steering wheel and basically do a sit up so i don't hit my head. As soon as I clear the door jam, I open back up and I'm in ! GIGGITY GIGGITY

 

The main problem for me is driving a manual after the gym...................on a leg day.

 

I just take off my steering wheel! I don't have much trouble just jumping on in. I'm 5'10" at 245lbs. NTM I have Corbeau buckets, hence why I remove the wheel.

 

get one of those hydraulic wheelchair access lifts that slide in and out.

 

^This! Rofl

 

This is hilarious. I'm 6'2 220 and don't have any problem at all, even with the door tight to the garage wall. Nice and slow seems to do the trick.

 

No problem at all here 5'9 180lbs move the seat all the way back and jump in and out and try not to rub on the bolster i do find my self catching the feed cf sidestirt thoe scard one day I might crack it

 

well i think im just gonna have to get rid of these cobra imola s racing seats...

...they just make it too hard to get in & out because of the side supports.




think im gonna start a thread about better seat options...first im gonna see what ppl have.

 

TO get out, I scoot the seat all the way back. Stick my feet out and push off the car to get up. TO get in, I step into the car and lower my *** with one hand on the wheel and one on the console. Then scoot the seat up to driving position.
