Default OT: How well do you fit in your R?

I was wondering how big my fellow R owners are. I'm small - 5'5", 140lbs - so what about the rest of you? I know TypeRmsm is built like a lineman but what about everyone else?

I know a certain bounty hunter will move this to member's corner eventually...I just like to post these things here first because it's the most active forum

I'm 5'6'' 190 lbs...i'm currently on a weight reduction project

I fit pretty snug into the USDM R seats.

a little over 6'3" 200lbs. I fit ok, but don't have a lot of knee room, or head room when my helmet is on. I don't have nearly enough thigh support for long drives...usually fold up a towel or something to put under my right thigh.

I'm around 6'3", 160 lbs, have plenty of space for me & my big helmet with the seat 1 click up from full back, and usually reclined one tick from full upright.

I hate the steering wheel position. The steering wheel toggles up and down, but it would be nice to have it move in and out (or rather towards you or away from you).

That is my biggest complaint.

Jesus you guys are big! I hope everyone is this big so I don't have to buy an exhaust...my lower weight should make up for the 3 or 4hp

6'-4" 240lbs...

Fit fine even with a helmet on....

The seat does put my leg to sleep on long trips but cruise will help that.

I'm starting to feel like an F1 driver, or a jockey.

5'9" but with a 32" inseam and 155lbs. I have the seat almost all way to the back. I like the bottom of the clutch travel (the floor) to be at full stretch of my leg.

I'm 5'11" and 220 lbs. I couldn't fit in my seat with a helmet on and still heel/toe properly (too high - knee interference). Thus I got rid of the stock seat.

6'1" and about 198 this week.

Fit just fine without helmet, a little cramped with helmet but not enough to hinder driving.

6'4" about 195 ... a bit hard to heal toe, so I replaced the drivers seat with a Momo seat that sits low.

6'1", 190lbs . . . also built like a linebacker . . . LOL. actually more like a male model.

the stock seats were too, um, flat . . . hehe. replaced the driver's side with a recaro SRD, which i fit pretty snugly in. just perfect, IMO. hopefully the passenger side will get replaced shortly.

5'11" 195 fit OK but when I try to turn and have to let the clutch out at the same time there isn't any room between the wheel and my leg... and I don't like the wheel any higher... But it's comfortable enough.. I wouldn't want to go on any really REALLY long drives, that's what the ol' Accord is for.

6'4", 220lbs. I fit just right, it gets a bit difficult when I put the helmet on. Heel-toeing is also a bit of a problem. My new Sparco Evo2 should take care of headroom issues. I'll make sure it gets mounted as low as possible.

5'10", 140lbs. The seat is pretty comfortable but a little too wide to fit snugly. Headroom is fine.
