Post fitment question

i just test drove a s2000...was everthing a hoped except im 6ft 2in and weight 210 and will be grown i little more . my fitment question is me in this great automobile. ive been reading posts and i didnt see a post discussing this topic and my hope is that with this post and your help we can have a disscussion on what works and what doesnt...when im sitting in the car with the seat all the way back my right leg while resting in the center floor counsil is touchin the steering wheel
i think with my helmit the head room will be ok, however if i need to move the wheel quick or shift quick i think there will be a prob....here is some ideas i have
smaller front steering wheel
removable sterrring wheel to ease getn in and out
sparco seat or other co...however the stock seat looks just as thin
customize the pedals forward...however elec pedal setup could be more prob than worth
i know it sounds stupid but...not sittn on my wallet made a tiny bit more space
i thought of removing the interior for more space but it really dont want to put dwn 37k for a cr and not have int
what has worked for you big and tall guys??

you can get a special seat rail that lowers the position of the stock seats a little bit...i believe backyard special makes it

Buy the BYS seat rails. Super easy install, and added a lot of room.
I'm 6'2" and 250+. I fit no problem.

There is a DIY in the DIY/FAQ section at the top of this forum

It's for "tall guys" to mod their seat rails. This may be what these guys are talking about or it may be how to mod the oem seat/seat rail.

Im too lazy to look.

A tight fit is something you need to get used to. A quick release steering wheel and a hub converter will move the wheel 4" closer and give you more knee room but at the expense of airbags and wheel controls.
