you are a tall turk ? Ok cool.

Look at getting super-low seat rails. It drops your height a few cm's.

Is the problem legroom or headroom?

so exactly how tall are you? you must be pretty damn tall to not fit in comfortably

Im 191cm tall and i fit in my dc2 fine, even Luke (yourfarther) is i think taller than me and he also drives a dc2, duno bout him but im comfortable :thumbsup:

edit: as bennjamin has stated attach your seats to superlow seat railsand that shud give you a few more cms

not really much more you can do, besides choose a different car that accomodates your needs

IMO the superlow rails would help heaps

I found that using a dished steering or a boss kit spacer allows you to have the seat all the way back and still have good reach to the steering wheel.
It lets your legs sit a bit flatter and not so cramped.
It made a big difference in comfort for me so it may be worth looking into...

im 6'6 and have no issues with leg or headroom in my VTi-R DC2 compared to any silvias, etc.

If you're after a smaller car, my only real option was the VTi-R cuz im too big for recaros in an ITR.

But yeah, I dont have any real issues with headroom. I guess you could get lower seat rails?

A friend of my Mums years ago bought this car and he had a stuffed knee so he liked to sit pretty much with his legs straight out..

One day he just moved the bolts on the seat backwords so it was sitting further back then normal he was comfy after all that..

I have no idea if you could do the same thing with a Honda but always worth a thought if your looking for ideas...

The seats should go back further in a CRX Del Sol cause theres no rear seats and noone to worry about in the back seat.

Trust me man theres plenty of leg room in the CRX once the seats are moved back.

lol I can't wait to see my boys grow up just to see how tall they are going to be! lol the youngest is really lean and tall more like me and with the blonde hair and blue eyes.. the other is brown hair brown eyes with the darker skin and he's quite short and stocky more like his Dad...!

Amazing how genetics works... anyone else in your family quite tall?

6'3" is still really tall..! lol You should be a basketballer or something..! lol

My Dad is 6'1" and my Mum is 5'6" I ended up in between!

My hubby is only 5'11" so he's pretty short for a man but he's the tallest in his family... I just hope my sons get my side of the familys height! lol at least 6" would be good!
