[thinmyster]

thats not a bad alternative?

[accord]

but i want a mr2 sc...

[dj_Twin_turbo]

I guess your only real option short of chopping off your legs is an aftermarket seat setup :)

[accord]

what s the size off the steering wheel..if i m swapping it for a smaller one and what about the original seat if i m bolting it on the floor ..somebuddy have a idea..i will like to keep the original seat..they are nice.

[thinmyster]

how about some aftermarket legs? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :burnout:
hahah im such a loser

Friend of mine .... he is 6'6 he had a 88 SC mr 2 ... but .. damn .. he looked so funny when he was in the car ! he ended up get a 86 ! :nut:

I think best option is to get aftermarket seat and steering wheel.
Im not really sure about bolting the stock seat to the floor, wont be adjustable and you'll be the only one that could drive it... (Just incase anything happens, you might want another driver, He'd have to be the same size as you basically.) Im guessing anything smaller then stock would be better. Try gettin' an aftermarket seat first, before steering wheel if your tight for cash :x

There's a surgery to make you shorter :) I heard it hurts like hell though.

:D :D :D :D

[accord]

i will like to give a 1 feet to someone who need it but after reflexion i will keep it.i dont rely plan to let the car drive by someone else than me..i hope to find a solution because i want this car mr2 sc...soo nice...question for those guys who are like me...tall....do you have the same probleme as me...

[Zenshi]

Cauz i prolly wont fit. And if i do, would be pretty tight.

[dj_Twin_turbo]

Cool, didn't know you were in the market also.

[BlkMaxima]

Ya I have the same problem with a lot of cars as long as they have a sunroof usually my slightly touches the roof and Im 6 3 too

[KLCC]

I have a difficult time trying to fit into a 240 as well, I think it is a curse for any tall people who's trying to fit to into small size Jdm sports car. I end up changing the steering wheel for my 240 to get more leg room....I wonder what would Shaq or Yao looks like in a mr2? or even in a miata??

[joseph]

Does the gen 2 have a lot more room?

[Zenshi]

I think they are about the same...

[accord]

i had this morning a mr2 87 at my disposition...soon i sell my car i will buy a mr2 sc..i will just change the steering wheel and i will be ok...i m so happy....

[dj_Twin_turbo]

i just sold the aftermarket steering wheel and hub i had on my 88 SC !

[Ek9Max]

Was there any difference bet. '86 & 88SC?

[dj_Twin_turbo]

There are a tonne of differences between the two cars, but they're still the same basic car.
