I am tall, about 6'7, and I have a little bit of trouble fitting in my car comfortably...I am in the process of rebuilding it with some modifications, one of which will be a cable shifter which i can relocate a bit if necessary. I was thinking about taking out the pedal board and shortening up the clutch and the brake pedals somewhat..(using a subaru drive by wire gas pedal, also relocated.) and maybe pounding the firewall back a shade for an extra inch or so and putting on a steering wheel extender...
has any one else run into similar issues? How did you correct? I would prefer leaving my feet attached...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

We're looking into the same things for my brother. He's 14 and has decided to restore my "parts car;" the kicker is that he is also 6' 6" right now and is said to have a growth ceiling of 6' 10." He really likes the car, but my Dad and I can't think of many ways to create more legroom.
Now, if you just want a Porsche 911s have tons of legroom with the seats all of the way back, especially if the seat tracks are cut and welded on further back. My Dad feels that any person can fit into his 911. |
