How tall are you?? Comfortable?
 

Just a quick simple thread on how tall are you and how comfortable you feel in your rx-7. I'm 6 feet tall myself and personally I find it hard to drive comfortablly. My legs are too close the the steering wheel and I can't do a toe/heel/toe because my legs are lanky. Considering upgrading to some recaros to lower my seat a little bit. What do you guys think?

Im 6' also and im a little cramped in my fc, same deal with knees hitting the wheel. never tried that heal toe thing cause I dont drive down mountains at 90+ regularly.

I'm 6'4" and the FD fits like a glove... literally! :p:

Hahaha...I'm 6 ft...300+lbs...and when i tell you a brotha just barely fits I ain't F*ckin around!!! I been wanting to find some lower seats too...I bought a MOMO steering wheel which helped a looooot with the kness hitting the wheel...but Heel/Toe is impossible in that lil thing...I'm no Touge drifter by any means...but every once in a while i track the car and doing a decent burnout is pretty hard with size 13's, lol. I'm probably going to get a Line Lock for it...even tho it's the lazy man's way of doing it...but sh$t...I gotta do what I gotta do...

Aka...Fat guy in a lil caaaaaaaaarrrrr...haha.

6'4, 184 and it's an acrobatic act getting in and out of my FB, but once i'm in my only complaint is a lack of headroom.

6'1 1/2" 178 and I find it to be comfortable, of course if you go on a 2+ hour drive I feel it in my back when I get out, but that's due to the seats.

Careful with aftermarket seats, nearly ALL of them except I think the Bride Lowmax I think they are called sit HIGHER than the stock seats. I had to remove the upholstery and shaved 2-3inches off of the foam cushion to fit with a helmet. Seats are still plenty comfortable, but the bolsters squeeze you a bit more, not sure if they would still be comfortable if I had bigger than my 32 waist.

im 6`2 and it feels great...the wheel is a lil close i guess...otherwise fine. but i do prefer a more cozy fit

but in my fc theres more than enough room.

6' 3" and ~180 lbs. The car fits like a glove. Since I have a touring model, my only complaint is lack of headroom with the stock seats. Side mount seats will drop you to the ground but are more expensive than bottom mount seats. You can shave the seat like Hellspawn said to get a little more headroom. I can also "heel toe" with the stock steering wheel, seats and pedals. I use the side of my shoe to tap the gas pedal while braking. It works just just as well and I can downshift perfectly every into every gear including first.

6' 3" and 195.

I am a motivated fit...

When I race, I have to recline the seat and squat down... not cool.

What seats give a drop? I have no problems bolting my seat to the floor.

damn... you guys are all tall!!~~ shit I'm just 5' 8" and wish I was about 6'.... damn... it probably because I'm asian~~~ hhahahahahah

5'1" (& a 1/2) i can barely see over the steering wheel. i have to put the seat so far forward, i could easily have someone sitting comfortably in the back (on the bin) with their feet on the floor.

5' 8" and 140 lbs..... I think this car is the ideal size for me.... made just for me!!!!!!!!!! so it feels real good.

What's a line lock?

Yah, i'm glad (or sad) to hear that i'm not the only person with this problem. Planning to get a steering wheel too, but I'm kinda worried about the no airbag part of it. So you say recaros ends up being higher than stock seats?! That's no good!!!

Haha, I know how ya feel man, i'm reading all of these posts and am thinking to myself. . ."damn!"

I'm 5'9'' 197lbs. The car fits me very nice (not the other way around ;) )

Watch out that's really dangerous with the old single stage air bags. If I were you I would put an aftermarket wheel on and a four point harness to be safe.

6' foot 240lbs here. I got some stumps for legs so my hands always run into them. Planing on getting a 340mm D wheel and non adjustable side mount seats soon. I got the Widefoot pedal attachment and it helped a lot. I can do side step heel/toe now. My legs cramp up after 2 hours in the seat.

Fits like gloove.

im 5'11" 140 lbs and its comfortable with me :)

6'0", I fit no problem. The seat still has room to move back, heel to toe is no problem either.

6'1" 170lb With my seats I have little to no headroom, but I still love my FD

I'm 5' 11" 220lbs. My legs aren't really that long, so I don't have to move the seat all the way back(and no issues with the steering wheel) and I recline the seat back so I have plent of headroom. I drove my FD from Memphis to Hampton( think near Va Beach) and my back had no problems. My only issue is that the previous owner put lowering springs in the front of the car, so getting out of the car is a PITA!

6' 4'' and barely fit, if i sit up strait my head touches. i wish someone would make decently priced seat rails to lower the damn seats.

5'11" 150lbs. No problem with space at all...except when I have my 'fro.

If you pull the seat and take a look, the rails are prettymuch as low as they could go. I doubt you could gain more than 1/2-1" bolting directly to the floor.

I guess it'll have to be non adjustable seats bolted straight to the ground. Anyone know where to find them? =D

6'3" only problem is knees hitting the steering wheel and e-brake when getting in and out
