RX7 and a Lanky sod ??

[barmar]

Good luck mate, hope you fit in, getting in and out might be a struggle. i\'ve got some tall friends who just look like giants (they look like they\'ve sat in a kiddies car) when sat in the passenger seat and they\'re a good few inches shorter than you.
Let us know how you get on.

Hi Mate,

I\'ll be checking and replying to all mails to g mail this evening.

[Wayney]

cool speak to you soon

i almost didn\'t buy my S2000 for the same reason - i\'m 6\' 3" and built to last - took me a couple of weeks to get comfortable but it\'s all good now - did consider removing the steering wheel for a smaller one on the S but didn\'t want to loose the airbag.

haven\'t actually tried an RX7 yet but i hope i don\'t have too much trouble cause i definitely want one someday - maybe best to buy one with a small wheel already fitted to save any hassle

[Wayney]

yea. if everything goes to plan ill have a couple nice seats fitted and the rails moved right back, aswell as probably a smaller wheel

[Wayney]

Freddy - got your e-mail, how will i be able to contact you during the day ? on the non-gmail address ?

Cheers

my friend who is 6\'4 managed to drive my rex last week.

After the drive i think he is getting one however he will move the seats back a bit.

G mail address during the day is fine. I have also e mailed you a contact number.

[Wayney]

you got mail

[Sy.]

Wow you is 6"8 .... my mate is around 6"4 and can sit in it ... but would never be able to drive it for more then 5 seconds .
with modification anything is possible ... even a lapdancing pole

I\'ve got a fixed pos Recaro bucket seat in mine and it\'s very low giving decent headroom.  It\'s not too hard to move the seat further back by about 2" which should be enough for mid 6\' people.

Moving the standard seats further back might not help as your head will be up against the roof unless you\'re practically lieing down which sucks for good feel and control.

[grinder]

wayney - you might want to come to the meet on monday in warrington to get some more info

and there should be a few rx7 there to sit in if freddy hasnt helped you already

Freddy - you coming on monday night matey ??

I\'m a bit over 6ft 1 and when I turned up to see my first Rex the guy took one look at me and said I wouldn\'t fit in it. I was gutted, but hey... I got in OK and proved him wrong (If you\'d turned up I think he would have died laughing). I\'ve got standard seats and steering wheel and I find head room the biggest issue. I\'ve also got a sunroof which I think slightly reduces headroom. I have to either recline back a fair way or lean forward slightly to avoid head touching roof. I assume you\'re relatively thin and agile cos it\'s quite a long way down into a Rex if you\'re tall. Would you want to be driving it daily or just taking it out occasionaly? This could be a major consideration in terms of how hard it is for you to get in and out of the car. My initial reaction would be that without considerable mods it wouldn\'t be a proposition but there seem to be people around that think it might be done. I really hope they\'re right. If you can do it you\'ll surely go down as the tallest Rex owner in history!

[Wayney]

lol. where there is a will there is a way as the saying goes

i have no problem getting the lowest seats fitted as far back as possible.

when is the meet on monday ? i should be able to pop over have a gander
