irokin Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 I'm sick of trying to fit into cars with a helmet on. Completely unnatural and ultimately useless driving position. Looking to downgrade to a smaller body. :D Even with modified seat rails and a recaro recliner I still have to lean it back a fair way to stop whacking the roof. Need a steering wheel spacer and modified shifter to make it even close to comfortable :) Maybe I should just cut the roof off or buy an open wheel race car?? Ahhh what can I do :( Quote
Des Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 join the club.I have the same problem. Quote
coln72 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 put a hump in the roof like the GT40's used to have :D Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 :D A hump in the roof. I am 6'2 and I hate sitting in corollas, I have REALLY low seats in my coupe (which will soon go in my 4 door) They came out of the KE50 I had, I am not sure if I just fluked it, or if they all came with these low seats, but they give me heaps more room.

Killswitch Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Aftermarket sun roof FTW! Believe thats why people buy certain S15's... for track use the sunroof allows helmet clearance :D Quote
Jason Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 no roof lineing ftw, i normaly have no head cleance (slouch in seat) but with out it i have about 1million billion cm of extra head room :D Quote

Des Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) my hair touches the roof so the roof lining is coming out when i get around to it. Edited September 12, 2006 by too quick Quote
irokin Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 Aftermarket sun roof FTW! Believe thats why people buy certain S15's... for track use the sunroof allows helmet clearance :D Its the other way round in S13s at least. Sunroof = less head clearance. Ive tried both. Quote
Xany Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 i don't see what the problem is, i have no worries at all fitting in mine....although the seat is right back and the steering wheel is smaller and the gearstick has been shortened about 1.5 inches...lol Quote
ancullen Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 /\ /\ /\ /\ I agree with Xany - although I would like the steering column a bit shorter. I could angle the seat back, but I don't like the way it feels when I do that. Of course, I'm only 5'11 so it's not that much of an issue. Rather than grow to 6'4 tall, I used the extra inches elsewhere. :D Quote
