6'2" 170, with roll cage in the way. I fit fine not 1 problem, i can heal toe with no problem, due to smaller stearing wheel. The only problem i have is when my GF jumps in the car and moves the seet so she can drive. Takes me like 20minutes to get it back the way it was.

I got ya!

6'6" 230lbs. It's tight even with no sunroof. But the addition of a sparco wheel does help. No getting in with the helmet and HANS, so I am making my own seat. I've sat in the car with no seat at all (Which is actually kinda nice!), and the fit is much better for me. With the stock seats, heal toe is non-existent.

But... I love the rotary, so I make it happen.

Wow. I'm 6'5 bare foot ~220lb. Aye, maybe I would get an FD after all, regardless of cost.

Also are none of you consdered about the wonders fo having you face bounced off the steering wheel? I was all for after-market wheels untill I saw a few posts and pics from HT. Drivers all lived, just a few teeth short and with a few etra-wires for a year. :(

1993 R1 . I'm 6'7 230lbs. You have no idea. I literally line myself up and fall in. Then I have to put my right foot on the clutch and depress the pedal and then slide my leg under the non-tilt steering column. Heel/toe haa haa, how 'bout driving with your knees. Can't wear any hats, and the seat has to lay back. Like an IDOT :wallbash: I listened to and believed my stereo installer when he said that he can do a JL Audio 12w7 in a gel-coat incloser where the compartment trays are without me losing any seat travel. Wrong. Its even tighter now. I'm open to all idea's.

well i dont own an FD but i was at a local shop (know owner) and he had an FD getting totaly redone so i sat in it.. i dont know if the seat was all the way back (i'm gonna assumer so cause my friend is 6' 7" ish and really big) i fit in and it was like a old glove that is just starting to get a little bit tihgt.. but i will easily fit in my FD (when i get it) and put a A.M. steering wheel in...

5'5'' 135lbs give or take 5 lbs, lol, when i settle down in the interior, it is just perfect for me. Having the recaro seat makes it a it harder for me to get in without rubbing the seat or bumping into the steering wheel (damn my short legs). Getting out i gotta grip the steering wheel or else i would rub off the cloth on the seat, but before, with the stocks seats, it was so much easier to get in/out without rubbing things or gripping the steering wheel.

Some of you guys think you have it bad.... My friend is 6'10" and he loves driving. The poor guy can't fit comfortably in 90 percent of the sports cars he drives. He still manages to heel toe (I don't know how) lolz
