Hello together! I am looking into getting a 914 - absolutely love them - but I am 6.3. Do you think I would fit? Is there any way to testsit in one. I am from LA. Thanks for your input!!! Tobi

I'm 6'-1" long torso and although I fit OK I always felt my head was too high and I always have the targa bar blocking part of my rear view mirror. I experimented with removing my seat pad and sitting on towels, now I have cut about a 1.5 inch off the bottom of the seat cushion foam pad and it's almost perfect. It also locks you in the seat better, sort of poorman's bolsters.
Almost because it's now a bit hard, if I was to do it again I'd cut off about a 1/2" less. I may add a bit of foam back one day. |
