NC for a very tall driver?

Postby 71coast79 » Tue Jan 24, 2017 9:17 pm

My son would love to get an NC but at 6'5" it is out of the question. Has anyone modified an NC to accommodate someone of this stature? If so please get in touch.

Seat mods depend if it's NC1 or NC2. There are threads on miata.net for each

Talk to Reggie he stands up at 6'4".
When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

He may want to think very carefully before he moves to an ND though! :)

You need to sit him in one. It really depends on whether his torso is long or his legs.

I am 6'1" and only just fit in my NC with the roof up because my torso is long.

When I sit in a car with my friend who is the same height his head is a good 2-3" lower than mine because he has long legs and a short body.
