Mr. Chem Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Evening all.I've been driving the glanza for a while now, and I've got a bit of a height issue.I'm 6"3, which isn't the tallest, but I've got quite long legs relative to my body.My glanza has got the standard 98 spec wheel and celica seats, but it's not quite right in terms of driving position. For instance, I can't lift my right leg enough to heel and toe properly. I end up braking side on which limits how hard I can press too. I was considering a new wheel such as an omp Corsica which is dished, but wanted to hear other members solutions.Cheers Edited January 10, 2014 by Mr. Chem Quote
yaristurbo Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I wanted to make some seat rails to lower the position to make more knee room Quote
Stefan_s Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 i had this problem too, so i got custom low seat mounts and dc2 recaro seats with universal rails so the seat can go back further and a 300mm steering wheel and its perfect now Quote
smithyithy Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I'm in the same boat, allbeit only 6'1", the driving position is naff compared to my Mk7 Golf. It feels too 'upright', and even with the seat all the way back my legs are too bent up.. Defo need a better seat on a low rail.. Quote

morgey Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Starlet seats are far too upright and the wheel is too low in comparison (non adjustable doesnt help), feel like I'm sitting in my mums k12 micra its that bad. My Ae111 corolla and trueno are (were in the truenos case) so much better, you sit lower in the corolla on stock suspension than you do in the starlet on coilovers with recaros lol. Your feet stretch out to the pedals and you reach forward to the wheel rather than pushing and resting your arms down in the ep.Seat could easily be dropped 2-3" imo Quote
Amjad Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I love my Recaro's but yeah I want them to sit lower! Quote
Stefan_s Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 It was from bogie back on uksc in 2012 don't know if he's still making them Quote
