RX7 and a Lanky sod ??

[Wayney]

as title. im 6"8 and considering a rex.

Would it be easy to fit some sparco\'s or brides to let me in ? :p

cheers.

No chance....haha!

seriously tho, it will be a squeeze, i suppose its possible, i dont know tho, but i doubt it, but it could work.......


sorry, that really is very vague  :rollin

Dan!!

lol. I dont mind stripping out the interior, and having it all redone. having custom rails made etc ?

Always like the rex, but being tall has its dis-advantages (drive a mondy st220 at moment)

[sdminus]

I think the UK car has longer seat runners on it. ( Clive told me !) and some tall people stick a smaller steering wheel on it. Makes it a bit heavier but gives a tad more leg room. Have you tried to squeeze in one yet

no. got stuck in my mates s2000 though cos he had a nokia in car holder thing :p

[sdminus]

WHAT you sat in his phone charger. Man u never gonna fit in one of those things :evillaugh

There are some fd owners in preston im sure one of them will let you sit in a car. But no sitting on any Nokia\'s

i am 6,1 and i have modified the std runners to let the seat go all the way back so it just about touches the rear seat,this makes it ok but i think you will struggle as you are taller ,you are welcome to have a sit in mine but i think you will have to move std seat or retro fit some others,and maybe remove the rear seats,(im in the birmingham area) cheers craig

i knew from day one id need to stick new seats in. Just wanted to guage how best to do it and who could do it.

As said above, if everything goes to plan, that would be the first thing id do other than getting it reliable depending on how good a one i get

Hi,

I am based just down the road from you. Got a few of these bad boys in.

Think you should fit in comfortably with the Mazdaspeed recliner seats in place. If you want to come down and see which ones fit and which dont just drop me a mail Transcars@gmail.com or info@trans-cars.co.uk

Cheers

[Wayney]

hey Freddy. Where abouts are you based ?

cheers

[Freddy]

[Wayney]

sent to your gmail dude

I\'m 6\'1" maybe slightly taller and I fitted just fine in mt japanese RX which had a little RE-Amiya steering wheel, my current UK one is fine on the leg room but occasionally I catch my knee on steering wheel which is pretty big as standard.

cheers

I got told that there\'s a bit more room for seats to go back in a car that has bins in the back instead of rear seats. Find one of those, have the runners moved even further back, aftermarket sports seats sit a little lower so more room, smaller steering wheel and some very flat shoes.... Then you never no
The standard steering wheel will be your biggest problem at first. I\'m 6\'3" and didnt fit in a car comfortabley when it had a mazda wheel. Got a Momo one in mine now and its great.

i managed to find some size uk14 puma speed cats so they should be ok, good with the st220 anyways.
