Need some advice from some pros

With the seat all the way back, you would have to be freakishly tall to operate the pedals efficiently. TONS of room in the E30 for drivers. I'm 6'4" as well and have no issues.

you'll fit. im 6'1" and when the seat is all the way back and tilted I stretch to push the clutch all the way down, put it in 5th, and press the OBC buttons.

its all good...I work in the auto industry so I deal with it every day and besides I am a smarta** at heart!! Thanks for all the replies, I just wanted to make sure before I looked like a complete idiot trying to go and test drive one and look like I was driving a clown car
:stupid:

One question that I would like to ask and I am sure that it will be too much info for this thread or the info is located somewhere else is would it be a good idea to start off with a e30 that has a swapped 24V or one that has the original powertrain? I guess what should I look for to make sure it was done right versus rushed/slapped together? What about suspension with the swap? What is a resonable price for one that is done right w/ a clean body and wheels/suspension? Just some basic info would be great!! Thanks again!!

^If you've never had an e30 before I would suggest just getting a stock one. Well, I guess I can't really say that but for me it would be no fun to just buy a car that you've never had experience with before and it's already done for you. Now if you've had a couple e30s in the past (which obviously you havn't) then it might be okay to buy one with a few mods already done to it that are in the general direction you wanted to go with it. I think you're going to have a lot more fun to start off stock and work your way from there.
