so i have been looking into S2000's a lot lately and I really only have one issue; I'm a big guy. I'm 6'2 260 but I'm not fat. My stomach is pretty flat. I'm just a really solid guy. Would I have trouble driving this car everyday? I'd like to point out that my current car is a 99 M3 which is basically the same car sans the 2 extra seats. Very similar performance. My car was lowered on springs when i bought it so im pretty used to a rough ride and tight spaces. What do you think?

 

I'm 5'10" 175 and couldn't imagine being any bigger and comfortable in this car.

You may be too tall to see comfortably out the windshield and the wind may rip through your scalp.

You're also heavy and may not fit in the seat comfortably. My friend with wide shoulders can't sit straight in my car and have his entire back touch the seat.

Of course, none of this means its impossible. There are people on this forum that are bigger and taller than you that do it just fine. I just wouldn't do it.

 

are u ronnie coleman /jay culter those specs means huge haha j.k u must be bloddy built sorri for going of that way but yeah im sure ul be fine i have a friend who is 6.2-4 (iduno either or) 270-ish and i wouldnt say he has a flat stomach but not fat and he sits fine... worst comes to worst you get ur self a set of bride seats and set the rails to lowest that mite help

 

depends on waist and shoulder width as far as comfort goes i guess. your a little bigger than me (i'm 6' 215 with a 34" waist but i have broad shoulders). i feel comfortable in the car and have taken quite a few 16+ hour drives in it with no problems at all. have you test drove the car yet ? personally i think you'd be alright, but it is all up to u in the end.

 

I'm 6'2 215 lbs. I fit fine in it. Now I find myself wanting to sit lower but that's just my preference. I guess someday aftermarket seat rails and seats are in order. But it's fine.

 

As wide as he must be with weight like that I'd say bride seats would be tight, no? I have to think this would be just a really tight fit overall. Go sit in one and take it for a drive.

Having said that, I'm 6' 230lbs and when I first got the S I had the seat way the hell back. After messing around for a few months I ended up moving the seat up a couple clicks, straightening the back upright a little more and actually sitting myself back into the seat and it's a way better fit.

Good luck seeing traffic lights! Good thing I can say about my city is that the put an extra traffic light on the side of intersections by the Walk/Don't Walk sign so I don't have to pop up above the top of the windshield or duck low to look up.

 

is there a big difference interior space wise between the ap1 and ap2? is it really noticeable?

 

Good luck seeing the traffic light in ANY convertible, especially the smaller ones.

 

Far as I know there is no difference. Nothing noticeable at least even if a larger door net or something changes by millimeters.

 

BYS seat rail and you'll be fine, lowers the stock seat perfectly and yes, you can see traffic lights.
