Will I fit?

Hi I'm new here I'm in the process of buying an RX7 FC but as they're quite rare here in Italy I'd like to know if I can fit in the car before even starting to search for one as I'm 6,8ft and Japanese cars aren't usually made for people like myself.
I know I wont fit in an FD but I like the FC as much and I heard it's bigger inside.
It'll be good even if I need bucket seats with lower rails as long as I fit in it I'm happy.
Thanks.

im 6'3 and have more than enough room in my fc. you could get a bucket set with a low mount base, without sliders, and you should be able to get atlest an inch more head room, and you may be able to mount it further back for a little more leg room.

You're definitely going to have to get low seat rails, but I think you'll fit.

Good advice would be to make sure you try it for yourself before you buy.

Somewhat depends on how your height is split between your torso and legs.

I'm surely going to try it first, just wanted to know if I should start looking for one or not even bother.
Thanks for the replies.

Are you in a stock seat with stock rails?

I think this all depends on your legs. I'm 6ft 4 but have really long legs. They sit either side of the wheel and if they were much longer, I don't think I'd be able to drive it. My left foot often rests on the clutch a little too much.

Def try before you buy!
