Any 6"2" tall owners?

[Wolfgang]

I have not made a kit purchase yet, any tips for a 6'2" slim build guy as far build options?

 

[Julian]

I'm 6'1" and my ERA is a snug fit, but not uncomfortable (no gurney bubble), but the CAV I once drove had far more headroom.

 

[Sam Boyers]

I am 6ft 2 I have a sgt with dropped floor pan and gurney bubble.
also an adjustable peddle box so the old man can drive it he is 5ft 6

 

[JP Verweij]

I am 6ft2 also, 4cm dropped floor in mine. Seats with low profile runners so my wife (& owner) can reach pedals easy. I am very comfortable without a helmet.

 

[Chris Kouba]

6' 2", 195#, 34" inseam and fit comfortably in my RCR with seat bottom bolted to the floor and no Gurney bubble. It is a very laid back driving position but it feels comfortable to me and I even have room for a helmet.

Have you looked at the Active Power +4?

6'4" and fit comfortably in my original pattern monocoque. However the floor has been dropped under the driver's seat (original style webbing seat) by 10mm and pedal box moved as far forward as it can possibly go. Have a Gurney bubble, but only needed if wearing a crash helmet. Best advice is to try various kits/cars on for size before committing. Ask on here if any there are any cars near to you that you can look at.

May I ask inseam/weight? I'm ~ 6'4 and sitting on the floor of the SPF my head was way high and knees in the dash. Thanks

Can you guys get your legs under the steering wheel or are your legs splayed out? What size steering wheel? 13 inch is offered in the kit I am looking at.

 

[Chris Kouba]

I have a 13" which works fine, but prefer a smaller for more spirited work as my elbow will hit the sill. The smaller wheel allows me full range of motion without shuffling hands.

The fun thing with a quick release is that you can change them quite easily if you pick up a spare hub, and I actually have 2 additional.

It all depends on the lenght of your upper body. I am 6-3, works well with since I have long legs. A lot people smaller than I hadn‘t a chance to get in, when having a long upper body. I just can recommend a bubble, just in case of.

Here is a shot of my interior 14” wheel.

 

[James Carty]

6'3" 240# SPF with Gurney bubble and pedal box all the way back. A lot of foam removed from seat. Fit is fine on street, head clearance minimal with helmet on but doable. Having custom caron fiber racing seat fabricated and will drop the floor to accommodate.

To me it looks like foot room is tightest spot on these cars, anyone angle the coolant pipes more to the passenger side to give you more footroom?

I wear US 13 shoes and have plenty of room. I have a video on my Instagram showing.

 

[Rob Klein]

This is my driving position at just under 6-7 250 lbs and 37” inseam 14 shoes.

I just drive without shoes most of the time. I got some durable socks and I put my flip flops in the door.
