S2K suitable for 18x CM (183?) tall person ?

[kenji1i]

Hello everybody new here.. just wondering if a 6 foot + a bit person can fit and drive a s2k comfrotably ? Never sat in one.. so dont know.. but i sat in my friend's new..MR2.. and i couldnt adjust to a comfrot position so i can drive it...

might be buying a s2k.. so this is a real important factor -.-

[MKI4EVA]

nope..........im 170 and medium built and its just snug with my fat ass.....

you'd have your knees point up towards the steering wheel.

[toE]

i doubt it mate.
Just rock up to a ur local honda dealership and sit in it to find out.

[NeoNode]

I'm 6'7 here and definately no way to drive a S2K :p

Although it's possible, but incredibly uncomfortable, forget about heel and toeing that's for sure.

T__T

thanks for the reply guys...

If you want a new pimp mobile, get a Oddessey!!

Nice ph@t 2004/2005 model!

Garunteed to fit you tall ass!

[SiR JDM]

Im 176cm (5ft9") and if i was any bigger I wouldn't fit into the s2k, but having driven one before I beleive im just at the limit .. Any bigger and it would have been a squishy ride!

[chris2k]

the s2000 was designed perfectly for someone who is 6 foot tall. I'm 176 and it's perfect..

[JR Performance]

How much do you want one? because a friend of the family is a good 6ft and has trouble driving his but he loves it that much he is happy to live with it.

[spiller]

Nah its all good. I'm 183cm tall and when i drive my dad's on occassions there are no problems with room. The car was not made for luxury and space, its a tight fit regardless. You'll fit easy mate! :)

[andreqo]

you will fit.....or at least just drive with the top off all the time.....lol

[MKI4EVA]

that sux big time if you don't fit though...............one of the best cars of all time........

I sat in one at the brisbane motor show yesterday, i fitted, but it wasnt comfortable... im around 187-190cm tall. And also, it had this massive bump in the floor that i guess was from transmission. I was shattered cos i always wanted one. But looks like u have to be short to drive one :(

[Fag&Cyn]

hey, i'm like 170-180cm tall and i don't recommend u taking long drives, i have long legs... and boy, does it cramp. ehehheh

[nexace]

Hhahah...this thread sounds like a dating agency :p

But yeah, I'm 6'/83kg and I find it's not as comfortable as say, the Euro!

If you can put up with it then go for it. Actually, I found the RX-8 was a pretty good fit. But you gotta stick with Honda - wouldn't settle for anything less. ;)

[BiGANG]

im 6'3" and i can fit in one to drive, but its not really comfortable, my knees are millimeters from the steering wheel, but it depends how bad u want a s2000 i guess.

[|N|]

i have the same prob. always wanted s2k... but i know i wont fit in properly... r there any wayss to modify the seat rails or something to amke it sit lower?

maybe fixed bucket with low raails?

anyone has first hand experience with above mod?

[aaronng]

^^ chop your legs off. I can fit and drive. But i wouldn't term it as comfortable. The main problem for me was not because the seat couldn't go back far enough, but because the steering wheel kept getting in the way of my knee.

[.::F[L]Y::.]

im about 178cm or so and its perfect for me?

if it had the adjustable steering column it would have made things easier for you taller guys

[thescotty]

im like 183cm which is liek 6 foot or 6 foot 1 and i drove my mates dads and i fit fine and comfortable.... the roof was down so maybe if it were up it would feel abit squishy but roof down its all sweet! maybe a weekend drive!

[irvinchua]

I am 183cm and driving it just fine.

A note of interest though, Backyard Special's adjustable seat rails will be of help to tall passengers.

I am looking to install one soon. S2Ki members have reported that it helps and some of the owners are over 6foot 6in. It fits to the factory mounts and will also allow for the normal operation of airbag and seatbelt sensors.

[S2kane]

Yeah i'm 6ft1 and i fit fine..

I dont have any probs with the position of the steering wheel either..

[aaronng]

It's not only about your height. It is about how long your legs are in proportion to the rest of your body. If you have a JDM body, which is usually short legs, but longer body, then you won't have problems.

[ludecrs]

I'm like, 187+cm....

And you can buy lower seat rails by BYS for OEM seats.

[DC5TYPER]

I'm 185cm and just fit in. 190cm+ will have to much trouble,

But have a seat first and see for yourself!

Cheers

I will be buying the backyard special seat rails soon as well they drop the seat down 2 cms which would make a much better fit. I am 6ft4in 100kg and I fit not as well as my euro . It just reminds me of the open wheelers I used to race. Great car get one you will love it:thumbsup:

[Matyi]

Im 180cm, and I fit fine..

edit: I can even heel-toe!

[Kyo]

u can fit in, but won't look good when have roof on, ur head will stick out more, hitting the roof and look retarded from side...

when have roof down, it's ok

183cm tall here

What's your leg to body ratio? I can't even most my right foot without being denied by the steering wheel. :p

[<4n'D>]

186cm with long legs and size 12/13 feet

plenty of headroom and nice (comfortable) amount of leg room.

heeltoe is easy too

[Matyi]

Maybe its coz Ive gotten used to the fit of the car.. I have to admit my leg is very close to the steering wheel and sometimes even hits, but its possible. I have size 10.5 feet, am 180cm tall.

My head isnt even close to the roof when its up!

[kongfu]

Im 183cms, its ok for me IMO...

I didn't realise you were 5cm taller than me! pfft hahah
