Sprints

[rougeleo]

Any mini sprint fans out there , not the race series , the lowered minis .

2" lower in bodyline and 2"roof chop , makes for very good handling

I'd love a sprint, but at 6ft tall, and not very slim, I'd never get in one.

There is a forum for sprints over at the specialist mini forums.

Just get creative with the seat positioning and you'll be alright - I'm 6'3" and way off slim , and I have plenty of head clearance in my mini, with the seat sitting above the crossmember. So if you dropped the seat onto the floor, you'd easily get headroom in a sprint...

Thanks for the tip on the Sprint forum , I use it a fair bit already .


Its all down to how the seats are fitted and modified in a Sprint , I would think at 6'-3" it would be possible and still have head room , saying that a Sprint is only ever a two seater really , but it does drive very well

I'm 5'10 and despite putting a 14in mountney in my car i still feel like i'm going to knee myself in the chin.. What can you do to get more room? are there subframes out there that go further back?

If you change the seat for a Sparco, Corbeau or Cobra (to name but 3) you will gat a universal sub-frame and you'll have no problem getting a satisfactoryu driving position.
I'm 6'0" and my son is 6'3". We are just completing a 1400 Enduro Formula rally car which is a 1991 Cooper and the sparco seats are fine. I dropped the wheel, which I left as standard - you don't want really small steering wheels in a proper rally car - and there is still loads of room.
Email me directly if you want more info on how to mount the seat frame to the body with this type of seat.

I would love to have a mini sprint, and I'm small enough to fit in one. The chopping has always seemed a bit too tough for me to do though, I do aim to do one one day. Sprint + 1380 =
