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.

6'4", 200lbs and I fit comfortably. I'm all legs though. I have a buddy who's 6'7" and he's all torso. He doesn't fit unless the top is off.
I can fit inside with the top on while wearing a helmet but its tight and didn't happen w/o creative reworking of the racing seats (to retain the factory slide/tilt mechanism) and a thinner seat cushion. |
