Anyone know? Pics would be great!

 

Man you must be a tall one. I'd guess a 1/2 to 3/4 at most. Too me it would make more sense to lower the seat to the floor. Just a thought.

 

already is.

Anyone have pics of Minis without headliners? Puhleeeese?

 

I might be able to accomodate your request tonight. As soon as I put my coilovers on.

 

hopefully this helps.

 

Looks like if the car didn't have a sun roof there may just be a bit more room. What are you doing with your headliner out Rival? Putting a cage in??

 

Andy, sorry I spaced on your PM.

Depends on if you have a sunroof or not on how much you gain. With a sunroof I don't think it's much more then an inch, but it has been a while since I removed mine. Try posting this in the road race section as most have done this that race.

no...i wish. had the headliner wrapped in perforated vinyl (same as steering wheel vinyl)and painted to match the interior.

 

Thanks for the pic! Is that with or without a sunroof?

 

Greg, I special-ordered my MINI without a sunroof so that I would have the extra inch of headroom. I have about 1.5" to spare with the seat all the way down. Once the helmet goes on, though, I have to compromise my driving position - reclining the seat means gorilla arms to reach the wheel and if I slide the seat forward my legs are cramped.

Also, thanks for the suggestion... I'll try reposting in the road racing forum.

 

Here's another idea: how much would a race seat lower the seating height? I suppose it would also depend on the mounting bracket, right?

 

no problem. i have a sunroof.
