    Default Helmet + Top Up = No Fit

    I was very excited for FedEx to deliver my helmet today. Fits great. But I can't fit in the car with the helmet on and the top up. I'm only 5'-11".

    I'm not sure there's much I can do, short of lowering the seat or getting a different one. Or just hoping it doesn't rain really hard.

    +1 on the foamectomy. Worked great for me.

    Yes, there's a procedure for lowering the seat pan on NC cars that people have had good results with.

    Funny. Exactly what my wife said with a smirk.

    Maybe I'll sell my leather seats and get some Sparcos.

    You do realize we live in Texas and not Oregon?? Yes it does rain on occasion but chances are better it will not rain. Quit trying to find stuff to worry about.
