Do big/chubby drivers fit in the VX?

[reptiles]

I'm 6'6" @ 250+/- a few pounds. I fit comfortably, just have to tilt my head when I know I'm about to hit a bump or something so I don't bang my head on the ceiling. It is also pretty easy to get in and out of the rear seats.

On another note, its nice to find another fellow 1g dsm driver. I'm working on buying my third 1g dsm

Actually, I've always owned AWD/4x4 cars/trucks and a turbo is always a nice touch. I wonder if I can adapt a Mitsu 4G63T engine in a VX --that would be sick.

I have three 1G cars now; two are street legal (one is in upstate NY and is only used for ice racing) I love restoring and modding vehicles.

Cheers,

The seat extenders are a very good option if the rear seat needs to be used for passengers but you do lose 4" of slide adjustment on the passenger seat (rearward). This hasn't been a problem for us but thought I'd give you the warning.

Also, if you do have a tendancy to enter your VX from the rear, I installed Tone's receiver hitch & then added a folding step. It makes life much simpler. Mine still functions as a step even though it doubles as my rear license plate mount (just have to get the &^$% LED lights working on it).

One last suggestion would be to add the NERF bars. They help with entrance/egress issues since our seats are somewhat on the tall side.

Since everyone else 'fessed up', I will too. I'm 5'9" and 200 lbs. My only issue is that I'm always hitting my head on the grab handle while driving.

5:6 275 you bunch of light weights. By the way I fit fine except for the occasional head buts to the cieling or strap. I also was able to shove my dad in the back once he is in his 70s and about 5:10. Though I do not think I will get that opportunity again.

heh! i beat everyone here! 5'7 135! (yes ONE thirty five!) haha.. i do hit my head on the ceiling on occasion but thats because philadelphia roads are awful.... a buddy of mine is 5'8 220 and he got himself into the back seat no problem, he also sat back there comfortably with a couple of girls for a 2 hour drive

of course now i dont have back seats anymore... still have a few people ride back there on the floor though.. heh

6'2 200 - Just fall victim to a few head bumps here and there, and that is even with the chair back at an almost 90 degree angle.

[circmand]

Did he say he was comfortable or was he just not complaining because he was back there with 2 girls?

Seriously YOU WILL BE FINE! I have been in every seat with my tubby tubb butt back there no problem its actually quit comfey back there. What I dont get what are all of you doing rally racing in you vx to hit your head . I dont think I have hit my head once. Course I dont sit up right like grandma either.

Man, this post reminds me of when you said at Moab last year, "Man, Heat and fat don't mix!" That still has me laughing.

Find a VX and get in. Set up behind the steering wheel and FEEL IT. There's nothing like driving a VX!!!

The best advice yet. From the moment I test drove a 99 Kaiser, my mind was made. I have never been in another vehicle that has the feel of a VX.

Good luck!

ICE RACING!!!! Oh yeah....you and I are gonna get along just fine:bwgr: I grew up in upper Bucks, my son does the "tuner" thing at a shop in Doylestown. I'm headed up that way later this year. We gotta get together. I'm gonna use the auto train, so even if I don't bring 0177, I'll bring something fun.
