I'm 6'-1' and I've already cut down my seat cushion so I sit at a more comfortable level and can see out my rear view mirror.
Teenhulk, my 16 year old son is now 6'-3" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Just in the last month he's grown 1/2". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If he grows much more he'll have to rethink his 914 project, maybe lower the drivers floor in the seating area.

I'm almost 6'4 and I have the stock seats on mine. I have the seat forward just enough so I can tilt it all the way back. I fit just fine and can still see out the rear view mirror. Wasn't their a 914 owned by someone on this site with the floor pan cut and lowered an inch or two so he could comfortably wear his helmet while racing?

Look at the first page of my project thread. I dropped the back of the floor under the seat one inch. I fit great with a helmet. |
