Seats height

How tall are you guys??? I mean I never thought I was short I am 1'74m high I know I am not the tallest guy around town but... when I get inside the speedster I barely see in front of the car, my other car is a Miata and when I get inside the Miata now it feels so high up there...

Anyway I noticed that around corners and slopes of the road I tend to strech myself to be able to keep with the road, and I was wondering any of you out there has raise the seats a bit???

Thanks guys,

Ignacio

Ha, raise the seat and you'll need to cut a hole in the convertible top. Suspect 75% of Speedster owners have never erected their tops - so perhaps not a problem. When the top in on vision is real bad -- add the side curtains and worse yet.

Seats that are installed all the way back with a slight upward tilt on the front mounting allows for six foot plus drivers

I am 182cms tall and have no problem. If you want to raise the seat I think that it would be relatively easy. Take the seat out of the car and maybe you can raise the track? I took my seat track and bolted the track directly to the seat. So when I slide my seat off ALL OF IT comes out. By doing this you may be able to put a wooden frame to raise your seat a bit.

I bolted the seat on the track to make it easier to remove the seat.

Want me to take a pic?

Thanks Mike but I don't think is necessary to take a picture I understood what you said. Th good thing about your mod is that is inexpensive, diy, and reversible.

I just thought about raising a few cm so I guess it would make see similar than a taller (say 1,85) one.

I thought about the top up, but there's enough place in there for almost another head, not sure though about having the front part of the top in my vision, I'll check it next time I drive it with the top up (mainly at night, it is starting to chill here in Spain)

Thanks,

Ignacio

Just slap some thick flat washers of the right size between your rail mounts and the seat mounts. You can do both seats in 30 minutes.
