No problem. So long as you take the seat cushion out.

Yes you'll be fine. If you have an extra long torso just pop the top and there's max headroom.

A 914 is like a Tardis.

QUOTE(DBCooper @ Dec 31 2015, 11:03 AM) That's exactly my size. Fit fine. I should have given that some more thought. I have an aftermarket steering wheel on a quick-release with a 3" spacer, so it puts a smaller wheel more toward my chest and THAT fits fine. That probably won't be the same for you, so maybe not a good example. |

I am 6'4" 220. 34" in seam. I fit ok. Have driven many miles in a stock 914. Seat cushion comes out on track days to fit helmet
My son is 6'4" 300# ex NFL line man. He fits seems to fit with my smaller wheel but has not driven extensively. More room than you might think. |

Once you’re in you should be ok. But the getting in and getting out especially with the roof on can be challenging…

I'm 6'4" 210lb w/34" inseam. I've been wondering the same question for a while, glad to hear that others with similar stature can fit though it may not be ideal.
Eventually I'll get a 914, but with the prices rising so quickly I'm not so sure. |

Wow all these 6'4" people with a 34" inseam...I'm only 6' with the same.
Legs fit fine, I'm sure your torso would fit too (height-wise) and should be just fine with a stock seat. |
