hey all

recently purchased a very sexy R32 GTs-T, with a whole bunch of bits and peices.

but there seems to be a problem.

im 6'5".. and i push the seat back as far as i can yet, im still a little cramped; any way to push the rails back or modify it so i can push teh seat back even further?

and how the hell do you raise the steering wheel? there are two clips under the wheel, one comes out, the other does not?

spanx :(

both the clips come out, just put some grunt into it! one allows reach adjustment (in and out) the other allows rake adjustment (up and down).

at 6'5" sadly it may never be a comfy place to be. :D

Hey buddy, I'm around 6'3-6'4. I feel your pain haha. Bit different from the old commodore I use to own. Saying that I dont find it too bad. Maybe that extra little bit doesnt work in your favour. Let us know if you go through with it. I wouldnt think the seat could go too much further back because when it slides all the way its almost touching the rear seat?

i'm 6"4 and i have it one notch from being fully back, and its pretty comfortable..

(this is without a sunroof though)

Damn, I'm barely 6ft and I still have to cant my head to the left (with sunroof), or recline the seat back and drive with arms fully extended.

I think there are some decent aftermarket seats with this in mind though. Longer rails and lower bases, but I have no idea where I read it. Maybe contact someone like justjap and ask if they have a solution to your needs, or get a 2nd hand seat and see if an upholsterer can customise it for you.

i have actually done the more cheaper option. put the seat as far back on the rail as possible, and recline the backrest even further, as well as putting the seat as far down as possible. very comfy :whistling:

will be looking for aftermarket bucket seats soon though..

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
