Honestly being that tall your only real option might be to get seats that sit lower. I am 6' and i have the boss frog double hoop for hardtops. It works fine ish. I have the seat all the way back but I can not recline it all the way. I also have the padding and cover. I plan on eventually getting Lotus Elise seats so I can sit just a tinge lower but more importantly so I can have proper headrests that keep my head further away from the roll bar.
Thank you for the ¢2, and I agree. It is my daily driver and I need something that I can live with everyday. The M2 Sport, as far as I've read, doesn't restrict anything and seems to be rather easy to live with. But I haven't been able to find much on the Boss Frog, and my goodness it looks good!Originally Posted by kung fu jesus
Hey Andy! A few questions; How far is your head from the roll bar now? Does the bar that runs over the center console, ever get in your way?
The hump never gets in my way. To keep my head away from the bad I had to un recline the seat quite a bit. I feel safe now driving the car but I am sitting a little more upright than I would care for.
As I said earlier I plan on replacing my seats at some point. You might be happier with the nb2 surfboard seats as they have very tall headrests. So you could recline the seat until the headrest hits the bar.
Gotcha! Is there any way of getting headrest speakers in the surfboards? I've grown rather find of those...
I think the nb's had speakers in the wind blocker instead of the headrests.
Some wind blockers, yes. Some, no. Choose wisely, and know that OE wind blockers generally don't play nice with rollbars.
Never tried fitting speakers to surfboards, but I expect the seats are a bit too thin at the top for speakers.

What part of Charlotte? My NA should be at 42 Autosports later this week (assuming the Joefis intake arrives as scheduled). You're welcome to sit in it to gauge the height of my HD.

OP are you going to miatas at the gap? If you want when I am there you can sit in my car and see for yourself how you fit with the roll bar. My drivers seat has a foamectomy on it but the passenger is fine.
I'm right on the border of Concord and Harrisburg. I haven't heard of that place before, when are you going to be there? Also, what is it? haha
I wish! I'll be out of town with work on the days that it's happening...
Not all NBs had the speakers in the wind blockers. It was a Mazdaspeed thing and even then, they're pretty small even though I love the idea. And like jux said, wind blockers and roll bars don't go well together although I did see picts where someone had trimmed his wind blocker to accommodate the roll bar.
I had 5.25 speakers in the rear along with my wind blocker but that was more of a custom install.
No todo que es oro brilla.
42 Autosports is a Tuner/Race shop on Church Street, in Concord. https://www.facebook.com/42Autosports Hopefully, I'll be able to get down there after work Wednesday or Thursday, early enough to get the intake on, the IAT sensor wired into the Haltech, and still get the car on the dyno by 7pm. Here's a few photos I took the last time I was in the shop:
I had no idea that was up there! That's pretty cool!
I want to know more about that blue tr6.

Lot's of TR's in there. They share the dyno with a British car mechanic.
I should be there from 3:30 to 6:00, tomorrow. Hope to get the car on the rollers to test and tune the new intake.

Awesome! I'll do what I can to swing by and see how I like the m2! Unfortunately I can't give a definite yes, as it hinges on how my work day plays out tomorrow...
