Is it practical for me to get a BRZ/Fr-S

If I missed this up in the thread, I apologize...


There are also aftermarket steering wheels that create more knee room for those long of leg. This would certainly help in the travel needed for actuating the clutch pedal, and getting in and out.


I am only 6'2", 230, but have a 34" inseam. my challenge is getting in, and the steering wheel is the culprit for my knees. I am changing to a flat-bottom wheel to help with that.

Even with it adjust all the way up and pushed in? Bit inconvenient to move it every time you get in and out but it is an option.

Yes. Not to describe too much of my anatomy (damn that was a mistake for sure), but I also have large feet. Getting in is difficult due to the way I have to insert my foot and lead leg into the cabin to get around the wheel. I make contact every time at the portion of my thigh right above my kneecap.


Once I am in, its an excellent fit. Getting out is easier because I can turn at the hips.


TMI, I'm sure.

Actually, we use the quote function to reply to specific posts.

Yes, manual. The stock clutch throw is outrageous, especially for such a small drivetrain. I adjusted my clutch pedal so it rests even with the brake pedal, maybe just a tad lower and did this to really transform the experience. It makes the clutch pedal about 17% heavier but it can now be modulated effectively by just rotating the ankle.

The mod itself is much easier than it may seem. I was extremely detailed in my writeup. If you can bleed your brakes it's a piece of cake.
