Wont fit with helmet on…

[Jstyle]

So I got the chance to drive a friends 2022 A91 around the race track and while I loved it enough to put a deposit in for mine yesterday it has a very glaring problem for me that I need to work out before I get on the track again. That’s headroom.

With the seat all the way down and reclined pretty far back my helmet still rubs the headliner. Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to get more headroom?

My helmet also touches the headliner. It doesn’t stop me from turning my head while driving in anger, so I just deal with it. If I were much taller or proportioned differently, I might need to change seats to drive it. I’m 6’3”, for reference.

I’m probably going to just pull my Sparco EVOs out of my 86 and put them in. Still annoys me in the interim. Anyone have any favorite seat brackets they like to use?

If you are tall you will want these brackets that bolt directly to the floor.

Wait for the targa top to come before buying one

Targa top and track racing for head room >.< XD!

Although Targa might be a good solution, you may not pass broom stick test..

Other solution I might suggest is replacing the bar behind seat with Cusco or removing it. I heard that will give more room for recliner to lean back further.

careful about hitting your head getting in and out, I'm 5'10 and barely clear, I hear it's an issue with taller people (there's a meme vid with a helmet on)

 

[puzzled]

.. must be nice to be tall.. unless you're a giraffe, then

Get a Miata and drop a 2jz in it. Problem solved.
