I have an FC and I am 6"7" so leg room is pretty tight! I can get around pretty well if I don't drive that long but on long distances and lots of traffic my legs cramp up. I am considering some modifications, perhaps a racing steering wheel with extender and also was considering removing only one of the bins behind me. I want a stock look and I don't want to hack anything apart but I was wondering if anyone has done this or if anyone has suggestions with pics.

Thanks

 

im pretty tall too, this is what i did

-removed the sunroof, installed non sunroof skin, extra 1,5-2 inches of head room
-adjustable steering column is a must, smaller steering wheel with extender is a plus, 2-3 inches or legroom
-some seats have predrilled mounting holes so you can move seat rail forward, moving the seat backwards, or you can jut re drill holes.
-properly selected aftermarket seat is what im going to do sometimes soon.

 

Yep me too, I am 6'6" and very cramped in my FD, but my Cosmo is huge inside

 

what size steering wheel would you suggest? Also do any of you know of anyone who has removed the storage bins? Thanks for posting.

 

I bought my FC from a guy who is 6'8" and he had loved the seating but I can remember him driving with his head out the sunroof as a joke. The storage bins are easy to remove but the hump in the floor is a support. I would do some supporting before modifying that.

 

I had a first generation with a rear seat which was broken and I removed it, intending to replace it with storage compartments. This was back in the day when there were always a few carcasses at the local juckyard.

I ended up leaving everything out because I could fit my road bike in the hatch without removing the wheels. Maybe you could move the rail back as I did in my jeep.
