Default Driving position

Hi,
So got my GT4 and i have been cleaning it up and putting around in it. Trying to get use to it before i really lay the hammer down on it, and its winter. When i feel comfortable in it, my left leg seems to rub the steering wheel when i use the clutch. Does this happen to the rest of you guys? Seems to be normal to me just seems strange.

How tall are you? Is the steering wheel at the top of the adjustable position? Do you have it extended towards you some? I am 74” tall with a pants inseam of 34”s. The steering wheel is close to my left leg while shifting but definitely does not rub or touch it while in my driving position which is a track setup (a bit closer than normal). Seat all the way down?

I am 70in tall. i don't sit on the floor. I have the wheel all the way up. I am not up on the wheel but im not at the end of the travel of my leg for full travel of the clutch pedal either. I guess i will just need to play around to find a good home for me. Do you sit on the ground?

strange that it is tight for you. Yes, I have the LWBS and the only electric function is the up/down and I do have them full down.

I'm 71 inches tall and I sit on the floor (that is, the seat is adjusted all the way down). Typically, you want to sit as low as possible in sports cars because it's better to feel like you're sitting "in" them and not "on" them.

I will have to give it a try and see how it feels.
