some people say its small, some people say its just right. well, from i've owned a 5th gen prelude, and to tell you the truth, if the prelude is tight, you won't like the integra. go sit in one, thats your best bet.

Tons of headroom in the ITR - not like my other car. (Then again, my other car is only 46 inches high.)

I guess it really depends upon your height from the bottom of your *** to the top of your head. Some people that are 6'3" have longer legs than others of the same height. It all really comes down to the individual.

Buy a racing seat and seat rails and you can sit lower.

Default Re: Question about the ITR (SpoonDC2R)

I'm 5'7"...I think that my CRX was only a bit smaller than the R, but I feel that the R was made for people my size. Everthing is in perfect reach and the gauges are slightly below eye height (don't have to look down to see them)

The DC5, however, was cramped as hell. Its a bigger car, but the interior was definately smaller.

I am 6'5" and I fit fine in my gsr with good headroom, but the legs fit kinda tight, have to raise the wheel to its highest tilt position. I also fit fine in ITRs but with a helmet on in either one, I have to lay the seat back down a couple.

You should fit fine in the R.

I am 6'3", 220lbs and fit fine @ any seat position.

If you feel uncomfortable in a TEG just chop off your ankles and drop yourself a few inches

Nope, you shouldn't have any problems. I'm 6'2", 200lbs and as far as my head is concerned, I have plenty of room. The only problem is that I have big feet, so heel/toe becomes an issue. For me its more like toe/toe because I cant swing my heel over.

I'm 6'3" and wrestled with the same problem. I fit pretty well in my Type R, (no sunroof), even with a helmet. But it's not really "roomy". Even with the seat all the way back, my legs are a little too bent, but my arms are a little too straight.
But as the tach moves to the right, I find I'm willing to make the sacrifice

My feeling is there's slightly more headroom in the integra than there is in the prelude...

Every morning I'd ride to work with my head skimming the headliner of the prelude. By the afternoon I'd shrunk enough to fit right.

Now have any of you driven an s2k with the top up? I had to lean the seat back almost straight up, then slide the bottom back. Then hunch over and drive it. Luckily it was just to test drive it Loved it otherwise though
