The Raven Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yup i tried and failed. With no stearing adjust i couldnt change gear without hitting my knees on the wheel which goes a tad boring after 5 miles or so. So looks like you lot are stuck with me for a while longer. Or until i can afford to try and fit into a noble. Two of my must own cars are now out the window due to fitment issues. Elise RX7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hmm it wasnt that i couldnt fit per say just couldnt change gear without hitting the wheel Would have thought they had a wheel adjust, unless of course i missed it?

pedrosixfour Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 On a solutionary* note, would a set of super slim bride seats with the proper rails in the RX7 solve the problem for you? *not sure if thats an actual word, but I like it.

supra_aero Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm 6'3 and fit in fine. Why don't you just put a smaller steering wheel in the car? Or adjust the seat rails slightly. Inexpensive fixes tbh. Stop making excuses and go and get the rotary pocket rocket I tried fitting in a lamborghini diablo and that was an utter joke. That's one car I could say I couldn't drive for more than 30 mins a time without feeling cramp! Real pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a drop in the seating would help. They had one with bucket seats........im not going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm 6foot4 and 17 stone, but I've not tried getting into a rx7 or elise. When I was looking at elises' I was advised I'd fit but would benefit from a removeable steering wheel. Being big isn't always fun, puts a smile on their face tho...

So hard to keep your head away from where the door meets the roof. You have to really concentrate to slouch back in the seat and at only 6ft found myself leaning my head to the left.

I expect it to be on youtube one day. And that was with the roof off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
