Hello, I am new to the site and looking forward to hopefully becoming a rotary owner.
 
I am currently looking at 1992/3 rx7`s.
 
I have seen a few clean examples with good mileage etc.
 
But I have never actually sat in one before.
 
This may not seem a problem, however I am 6`3" and have heard this may be a big problem, comfortwise!!
 
Would I really not fit!!??
 
Thanks, Locks

I\'m 6\' 4" and drove mine home from London. Over 9hrs

Ass was a bit numb, but the fun factor took care of that.

So I could fit in and be able to at least move the steering wheel?
 
Have an r32 Skyline at the mo and am plenty comfortable enough, would the rx7 be a hell of alot smaller?

Hell yeah.......

The Rx is a sports car, very low 2 the ground, compact interior (lol) and solid ride with bilsteins.

You feel special sitting in it, proper cockpit .

A `cockpit` feel I could live with, a `coffin` feel I couldn`t!!
 
Are there any owners around the southwest, Cornwall/Devon willing to let me try the fit?

Dragon are based in Devon (see banners at top).

I\'m sure if you ask nicely you can pop over and have a chat/sit.  No doubt if you do buy a rx, as your local tuner you\'ll be getting very friendly with them :p

Btw, welcome to the site!
