Default current wrx owner want s2k but ..

Hello guys im in rockland ny ... im 6'3 very skinny .. i have a 2005 stage 2 wrx cobb tuned but i been bored of it ... ive fallen in love with s2k .. i love the convertible look and honda is a + .. i been readin forums and seeing people 6'2 complain about leg room and such so after weeks of waitin for good weather i jus drove to honda of nanuet. they only had 1 s2000 in the whole lot ! it was i the showroom a nice 2005 with 15 k miles for 24000 .. I sat in it with top down and i can tell it was going to be tight b4 getting into it .. the wheel isnt adjustable which i know but i thought the seat had different lowering positions but the man said no [ can someone clear that up ? ] i bascially sat in it and i was like hmm this is a little tight .. are the ap1s or whatever have more room and such , i would like some input .. i want this car so bad =[ . are there any tricks or something to get more room out of this car?

You can get a BYS seat rail. It'll lower the stock seat by about an inch.

Your WRX will be far more practical in upstate New York though.

I think the ap1' s sit a little lower in the seat than the ap2's. not a whole lot mabie half an inch to an inch. but mabie that with the bys rail would give you what you need. AP1 is a better car anyways


BTW. I came from a wrx with a perrin stage2. I miss the room in the back slightly but the S2000 is sooooo much more car.

you should be fine. My friend drove mine and he's your height and had no problem at all.

I'm 5"10 210lbs and complained about the space on the S iin the beginning but I got used to it after a while.
