Title: Rx7 + tall people....
Post by: Jim_rx7 on March 07, 2009, 09:23:44 PM
Ok, first time I\'ve really been out in my car today since I sorted the engine out.

Not much room in there! LOL. I\'m 6ft.

Question, can you move the steering wheel up/down at all? I had a feel about bug couldn\'t find anything.

Where if is just now I can\'t see the speedo from where I sit. I can\'t really remember from my previous fd.

Hi

No cant move the wheel up or down, you can alter the seat rail so the seat goes back more, check on here I am now osmeone did a write up on it.

The other way of getting a little extra room, and what i\'ve had to do on both my 7s, is get a smaller diameter steering wheel.

I\'m 6ft and with the standard wheel it was tight.

Got a smaller MOMO one now and thats made a huge difference !!!

i\'m not bad space wise. It\'s just seeing the speedo etc that\'s awkward.
