am i too tall for a 240?

[INDO]

just curious... i've been trying to hunt down a S14 for awhile, but have yet to find one for a decent price. i'm about 6'3"+ more or less, am i too tall?

thanks

[yellow_jacket]

I'm 6'2". The ones without sunroofs will fit you much better.

i;m 6'4" with an s13 w/ sunroof. everytime i bend way the f down to get into the car i thank the crazy mofo u decided to mount the seat right on the floor. so if u dont mind the slightly laying-down driving position, hehe its all good. f ur like me and want better seats, cry, because most racing seats sit higher than stock by a good margin.-Enzo

I'm 6'4" and fit just fine, even with a sunroof...although a lot of my height is in my legs.

[SeVa-S13]

An S13 is easier to fit big guys like us in than an S14.I'm 6'1 and I have *plenty* of room.My 6'4 best friend with 95 has to have the little sunroof cover thing open at all times and even then, his hair is kinda rubbing the actual sunroof.

[GELLIS2586]

I'm 6'1" and have no problem. But if I sit the seat straight up my head rubs the sun roof cover thing but i always keep it open. For some reason curvaceous country roads at night are so much better with moonlight coming into the ****pit.

[stumpz]

lol they block out ****...yeah i was kinda curious about the height issue, my friend has an s14 and it looks like it would be a little crampy for a taller person.

[spec-u-later]

Um, yeah whatever they said. You can fit in either car no problem.

[TachyonS14]

I'm 6 ft. and I fit fine, although my 6'3 friend bearly fits in the pass. side because his legs hit the dash board with the seat all the way back. I have an S14 btw.

[twlnbro69]

Im 6'2" and I fit fine in my 97 w/ sunroof

i'm about 6'1 and i fit fine, my frined is about 5'4 and his head rubs against the roof, lol j/k

[vexajin]

well,

im 4'6 470 pounds... so i fit anyways (Not really jk)

I'm 6'2" and I am looking at heavy cabin modifications in the near future. I have the seat all the way back, and I still have to sit bowlegged in my seat, I can't use the sidebrake to initiate a drift and I can't heeltoe correctly.

So, what I will probably be doing in the next month or so is getting a newer, smaller steering wheel with like a 60mm+ extension and maybe some cheapo seat with custom rails to mount it lower and farther back. To mount the seat belt farther back, I have to get canadian or s14 seat belts because the seat belt that connects to the auto motor is right behind the seat and blocks moving it all the way back.

And if none of this works, I will have to go entirely custom and have the floorboard cut out and rewelded in because of that godforsaken hump where the catallytic convertor is.

Dude, your only 6,2. What do you have like 40in leggs or somrthing. Just tilt the wheel up a little. I'm 6 and my friend is 6'4 and neither one of us have any problems with the wheel or e-break. Heal toe is a pain just because of foot size.

[Altiman94]

whend you get a 240 spec-u-later?

[xxtrizz]

Im 6'1 and I fit perfectly I think my torso is bigger though although i do have pretty long legs. I like to sit back though but not lowrider back just enough to feel good. My knees and everythign are fine. Actually the distance in the foot leng is farther than a mustang. Have any of you found the lever that moves your seat back? Start there. :P

[Xren17]

I'm 6'2" and heel-toe is hard as hell in my s14 even with the steering wheel tilted all the way up. I think a smaller after market steering wheel will be perfect. Also forget having anyonesit in the back seat even if you're under 6'.

[xxtrizz]

Unless they are little asian friends of yours or jsut little people. hehe when I test drove my car we got like 4 peeps in althought they where all asian haha.

[TachyonS14]

Also forget having anyonesit in the back seat even if you're under 6'.

How can you say that? there is plenty of room...



j/k of course...

If I tilt the wheel enough so that my legs can fit under the wheel, it takes on the school bus look, where the steering wheel is almost horizontal to the road.

Unless I am doing something really wrong, I just don't fit in my car, so modification is the only way for me to correct it.

[Fish240]

my friend is 6 foot 8 and fits in an eg civic..... and i think the 240 has more room

[BuudWeizErr]

Fitting is not the same as fitting comfortably, nor fitting the way you should if you intend to race your car.

[Big Perm]

Well i am 6ft. 7in and I fit just fine in my 93 coupe. It has no sunroof. In any 240 the sunroof is a no no for any tall person. I don't think I will be able to get a helmet on though

[D Money]

im 6`5 fit in my s13 with sunroof comfortablym, and fit just as well in my brothers s14 it seems bigger in there though

[Ligouri Rd]

Ok, I dont feel so bad about my height (5'11") in the 240. For all the rest of ya it must really suck. Anyway I caint heel-toe either, but i found a nice alternative: Left side of foot-Right side of foot (they prolly dont call it that or mabye its just a variation of heel-toe). I have seen them do it on Best Motoring. You depress the brake with the left side of your foot and roll the right side around the pedal to tap the gas. Im not too good at the technique yet...gotta practice it for next autox season,

[Ligouri Rd]

Ok, Im an idiot. That is actually heel-toe, I guess with the exception of those with really small feet and excellent flexibility that is the way the rest of the world does it. Heel and toe explained

[Slippery S14]

I had a s13 w/o sunroof and now have a s14 with, S13, no issues at all with a height of 6'2". S14, much more comfy with sunroof cover slid back. Ive only had it a week or 2 so Im sure I will adapt in some way, definitly couldnt wear a helmet/go to track with it though.

-Slip

[KRUZNBY]

6'4" here in an s14 w/o sunroof and it's just enough room. Not having the sunroof makes a big difference. I have to have the tilt up quite a ways inorder to get my right leg between the steering wheel and e-brake. I sat in an s13 with a sunroof and it was not comfortable at all.

[coupe4me]

Iam 6' 5" with s13 xe I fit fine with steering wheel tilted.

[InstantRice]

6'2-6'3 w/ an s13 no problem
