6ft 6 and 996 with Nomex racing seats

[wycoller]

Looking for anyone out there whos tall and has or has had 996 with racing seat.
I,m in Singapore and cannot access the car for a fit. I know the regular Comfort seat adjusted gave me plenty of room in a 997
cheers

I have a mate who's your height & he's driven my 996 Clubsport with no problems.

I'm 6'4" and work fine with the clubsport seat. It's a significant improvement over the regular seat wrt head room.
Brey Krause do a side mount that puts the seat lower than the factory mounts. These would be worth getting.

I'm 6'3" and fit in my 996 with bucket seats OK. I needed to make some changes to get a comfortable driving position though. My car is RHD with a Tequipment cage - the cage restricts how far the seat can go back (not sure for a clubsport). My solution was to get the BK seat mounts and get a new set of cushions made for the seats to give a little extra leg room and a lot more support for my back. Bit of extra time and money but easy to solve.

In terms of seat width it's no problem for me but I'm not...er...generously proportioned

I am 196cm - whatever that is in Imperial - fit like a glove in my LHD Mk1 GT3 CS. Absolutely hated the seats and that the steering wheel was rubbing my knees in a mates 996 Turbo...

Alex that's about my height so your saying the 996 with club sport seats hasn't same room as your gt3
