I've always loved the S2000s, and when it came time for me to sell my Audi, I decided to get back into Hondas fully. Well, I went to test drive one at a local dealership... Annnnnd I couldn't fit. Seat completely upright, all the way back, no go. The only way I could actually FIT in the car, is to take my shoes off.

This sucks for me, seeming as most of my actual height is in my legs, so I fit fine head room wise, just can't get my legs in the car comfortably.

So my question is this: Is there ANY way to accomidate for us taller drivers?

I know the stock S2000 seats are pretty Damn low... Is anything that can be done?

For information purposes. The only way I fit in my Type-R comfortably is with a Sparco Speed directly mounted to the bracket.

 

surgery, lost have the shins and you're golden

get that and some rails and you can drop yourself about 3"... dunno if it pushes you back any farther. 6'6 might not be cut out for this car when small japanese guys designed it

 

Agreed

 

I think if I got lower, I'd be able to fit... But Damn, $1,750 for a seat? I've bought 11 second cars for less.

 

thats msrp.. i think with rails (which are a couple hundo more) you can get the seat for $1650 or so.

 

just drive without shoes. lol

 

Can't operate a clutch then... The way I drive a clutch (Because my foot is so big), is I just let the clutch slide up my foot, instead of lifting my leg like normal people. My leg stays straight, I just move my foot. It made it interesting to learn how to drive a 5-Speed in my first Civic, took a while to get a hang of it.

Anyway, is there anyone who has a Bride GIAS that can vouch for how much lower the seat position is under stock? If I can make sure I'll fit, looks like I might be searching for a new daily driver next summer.

Haha, funny thing is, I'm not kidding.

It's easy to wheel and deal with people when they're in a pinch for money, haha. $5,000 - $1,500 in half an hour? Damn I'm good.

Anyway, thanks for all the help guys, this really sheds some new light on this subject.

 

im 6'6 and I sit shotgun almost daily in them. Drivers seat is more roomy imo, but Im not sure how it would be daily driven.

save yourself even more money and try this out?

not sure but i found this and it may help

now you can have your cake and eat it too

 

the bys rail only lowers you 20mm, which is a hair bigger than 3/4"...new seat+rails can drop you 2-3". they also grip you in MUCH much better. he's 6'6.. thats pretty tall for a s2k!
