Morning

I think maybe your conversion to Imperial measurements have gone a little wrong. 6ft 13in would be 7ft 1in or 2.16 metres.

Best do it in metric and we can convert and advise I think.

As someone who is 1,88 meter with long legs, I can only fit inside my Sylva Striker because I have removed the seat and I sit on a cushion. I can barely get in, and the steering wheel does not protrude much. I hardly was able to get inside another Striker with a more protruding steering wheel, so the position and size really make a difference. Also, while I have no fat on my hips and I was not aware of having wide hips, I have to squeeze into the frame and I am literally stuck on both sides. So if you are not a skinny long person, it will be very tight in the width as well.

The early Striker/Phoenix are much more restrictive around the dashboard area than the later Raw cars. The Striker/Phoenix are quite a bit narrower than the Fury so you maybe better looking for a Fury.

They are tight, I'm on my second Striker and tweaked seating to suit me. 187cm tall, 82cm legs and 80-82kg.

I've heard of 190 cm people that fit, but they will need a bench seat (or a cushion, like me) and I don't think they can have relatively long legs.

So with 186 cm and 90 kg you might just fit, but I doubt it will be comfortable. It isn't comfortable for me, but I didn't buy a Striker for comfort 8-)

The angle of the seat makes a big difference too, on my current build the seat (bare GRP bucket style) is angled a bit more so that I can still fit in even with pedals a little further forward :)
