Hi All

I'm 6'4" so have the seat all the way back to get my legs in. This means that the steering wheel is a bit too far away even at maximum adjustment. I need to move it about a couple of inches towards me

Has anybody else had this issue and how did you resolve it?

I was thinking of using a steering wheel boss with a dished wheel. I would like to use one the same diameter as the standard UKDM wheel

What would be my options and has anyone got a pic of a dished wheel fitted?

Cheers for any assistance

Ken

 

Best way to resolve the issue would be to buy a bigger car.

JK.

As far as I know you can only adjust the wheel up and down, not in and out. These cars are small I'm 6'1 and it feels like a go kart. You're probably going to have to move the seat up as far as you can while still reaching the pedals, or try a different seat perhaps?

 

6"2 here and I have the same problem. I thought about modifing the momo hub I have by cutting it and tigging an apropriate sized piece of pipe as an extension piece, but I never got around to it. I have the factory seat all the way back and reclined very little so I don't have to stretch my arms out to reach. Not very comfortable, but it works. I have a cobra evolution pro gt seat in the works and I'm not sure if it will make things better or worse.

This is unlrelated, but I wanted to share anyway. I always felt like I had to reach for the shifter too. I decided to give one of the fastline units a shot and I love it. If you are tall and you feel like you are reaching for the shifter give it a shot. Looks kind of derpy but I can get past that.

 

Tilt the sterring wheel downward and tilt the back support forward. That should help. Otherwise, after market steering wheel and hub is the only way. GL

 

I am 6'4'' as well and I guess I have never had this problem in my Integra. However I do plan on getting a new steering wheel and hub to bring the wheel a little closer and to give me more leg room. Also going to get the buddyclub racing seat and low seat rails they have. Alltogether should create a lot more space.

 

Well I've decided I'm going to take a crack at making a spacer that will move the steering wheel forward towards the driver an inch or two inches. I guess I could make it as long as I want, but one to two inches seems like it will work the best. Plan is to get a piece of 3.25" solid aluminum round bar about a foot long and make a couple different lengths of spacers. Then drill the momo hub pattern in and us extended bolts. I'm going to order a few things tomorrow. If it works out well then I'll post up a picture or two.

Any one know off hand if the threads on the momo hubs are m5 or m6? I've found conflicting answers.

Edit: Or I could just by this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WORKS-BELL-2...639be0&vxp=mtr Lol

 

Techno tuning makes a pretty sweet spacer. 75mm



use that with a dished steering wheel you should be fine.

 

im 6'0. integra is perfect for me

 

a new steering hub is the way to go..in my race car i have a momo hub that brought it out 3inches helped a lot.

 

Keep in mind with a longer hub/dished wheel the blinkers will be hard to reach unless you have some long fingers!

 

People around here never use them anyway so that wouldn't be a big concern for me. Lol. Driving around here is like driving in grand theft auto.
