    So I know this guy...

    I know this guy who would like to buy an e30. The only problem is he is 6'8" tall. He tried to get in my car, and his legs were hitting the door before it was closed. I need help trying to figure out some way of making the car more comfortable for him. Any ideas?

    Thanks guys.

    Remove front driver seat and have him sit in the back?

    6'8" is really tall.

      LOL. Only suggestion is a custom bracket to move the seat back further. I'm sure when your that height your used to having to adapt random shit.

            Tall guy chiming in* I am 6'6.5" so sport seats are a MUST. And I found there is more room in the sedan because the seat can recline more to relax. But yeah, I deal with my knees hitting shit all day lol.

                      My cousin just bought a vert he is 6'7. So I have the recaro brackets and I hear that they lower the seat. That and a momo hub hopefully he can fit it. He had to get an auto cause his feet were too big to shift lol.

                        You can get some brackets for SRDs that will make the seat sit low. SRDs also look good in e30s. And yes, a smaller and wheel with a spacer. It could work.
