That's one of the worst yet.

Why is a guy in Florida perusing the Youngstown CL?

Looks like a lot of work went into it.

I mean seriously, yes it has a rayco bodykit and the interior isnt stock. But it looks like it probably runs and it looks complete. 4k for that isnt a bad or crazy price. Ditch the wing and some of the other 90's touches and it will probably clean up nicely for a rayco kit.

Do these things suddenly make you taller?

Because when I buy a car, I usually know if I fit.

I suspect the guy means:

"After driving this car I have found that I am TOO TALL to completely hide myself from all the finger pointing and laughing as I drive this car. Therefore, I must sell to someone who is smaller. "

How tall do you have to be to be too tall for a 914?

I am 5' 8", and I have the seat a few notches forward, and my head is nowhere near the roof. I am thinking that you would have to be 6' 4" or better before it would become an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm 6'4" and I fit. Barely. Smaller wheel, short shift, and non stock seats would all help though.

They are small. I can't get into my 914 with engineer boots on so I have to wear topsiders or the like. My legs rub the steering wheel and I'm not very comfortable in it. Sometimes I would like to be rid of the dwarfmobile, but do not have the heart to follow through. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

So instead of someone asking if it is a Fiat, they will ask if it is a Mazda Miata

why not buy a miata rather than bastardize a 914 to look like a miata?

I am 6'2" and I am decidedly too tall for a teener. I love driving them, but even with the seat all the way back, my right thigh wants to occupy the same space as the bottom left 1/4th of the stock steering wheel, as well as the gear lever when it is in dogleg first. Also, to get to full pressure on the brake pedal, my knee has to come out practically past the steering wheel and bent at a 45 degree angle. Needless to say, no heel-toeing for me!

Why do people insist on ruining these cars? That's gotta be the ugliest kit I've ever seen on a 914. Ugly would take a look at that and say "Damn that's ugly!"

So sad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Must be all in the legs ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm 6.2 ish and i fit just fine. My seat isn't even all the way back. Plenty of leg-room and head-room for me.
