Now there's a strange fetish :-)
I might be able to oblige - I'm going to the AMM at the weekend and I'm 6'3". Would you like me to wear anything in particular...?

oh dear..... ...I suppose it was inevitable! We're getting spam posts, and now attracting "minority interest groups"

I guess that did sound a tad bit of a strange request. Well, if you know any 6'3" chics then post away as well. I have a feeling that the 6'3" chics will be hard to differ from the dudes though.

It all depends on what seat you are gonna use Tbrown.
stock seat, you will fit fine and roll bar should be above you. Get a side mount seat, and you will have ZERO problems.
kevin is a tall guy and he fits fine

Ok, sorry to sound dumb but what is a side mount seat?

the seat brackets mount to the side of the seat rather htan the bottom so it can be lower Exocet by Flsimages, on Flickr see there how the seats are bolted from the side? if i didnt use sliders (had to, my dad wanted to drive it lol) i could go an inch and a half lower

Thought I'd add this pic too - I'm 6'3" (and a quarter - very important to me as it puts me over my older brother!) and fit with room to spare, using the stock seats.

from that pic, there is no room to spare height wise. i wouldnt feel safe with that and a stock seatbelt
if you DO rollover, by the time the seatbelt inertia reel works. your head is draggin the ground good sir.

I think maybe he was refering to the fit lenghtwise?

Id assume so. Didnt think by the picture that he considered height wise though (which is more important)
there is LOADS of room behind the driver seat and id venture to say someone 6'5 can fit EASILY however you may have to modify your slider mounting points since they only go back so far ya know?
either way, you will be fine. seat height will be your main worry

lloks fun! That is the first green one I have seen. One the road, do you feel really small comparded to all other vehicles? The Miata is a pretty small car and I do beleive this car is an inch or so smaller and about 20 inche smaller in lenght. I thnk it might be the same width or slightly wider.

The Exocet is quite abit shorter than the Miata and the track is increased with spacers also.
