I'm 6'1" and I can fit no worries - I have the seat adjusted as far back as I can and in the middle setting with the wing nut on the bracket. I also have a 13" steering wheel. Other than the steering wheel everything is standard.

Yep, 6'2 myself, I could always fit in but, a little uncomfortable after driving 100 mile or so, did go by way of the steering lowering bracket, also 13' dished steering wheel, put in a SAAS racing seat, (almost touches the back seat) and have a gear lever that is bent backwards so as I can still change gears.


I used to get a lot of strange looks from people when I 'd pull up beside them at the lights, as, well when I looked right I looked out the rear passages window :)

Im 6'2, fit fine.

Ive got a lowered steering colum and 12in wheel. The Sparco Sprint seats are mounted on (mini) Cobra Subframes. They are fitted in the standard position as a stock seat.
