I have my Miata set up for autocross, but I'm a bit more relaxed in my MS3.

I checked I'm about 1/2'' shy of the wrist measurement. I just feel uncomfortable going from accel to brake like its too close... but I'm a short effer with a napolean complex so who knows maybe its me. LOL anyways thanks for the input.

dont forget about the telescoping function of our sterring wheel

Are you sure? My MS3 steering wheel has tilting, but no telescoping.

the sports dont telescope as well, my friends regular 3 dose that as well

More and more glad I bought a GT. (rockon)

I have a Sport. The steering wheel indeed telescopes. You just need to give it a good tug. Or maybe it's already maxed out for you, so push in?

It does feel a bit odd at first, but if its the right one, it will be very obvious when your on the track and notice that you feel the steering wheel better in tight turns with less effort, and maybe get that heel-toe a bit easier.

That said, I do remember I was a bit too close in the first days in the MS3, I slid the seat one"click" back and not only did I feel less torque steer when I feed the throttle in, but I felt my arms more relaxed. Obviously you dont want to be so close that you don't have proper freedom of movement.

Good luck!

I have a problem finding a good position with this car.
If I adjust the seat for good pedal position I am too far from the wheel at full extension.
If i adjust for the wheel I am too close to the pedals.

And I have short legs, I cant even imagine how bad it must be for some one with long legs.

the sports telescope ... I had it set but good pt I'll check that again.

+1 on the 12 o'clock wrist stuff, that's my my track instructor told me.

One thing that's bugged me about the MS3 is that even with the wheel fully telescoped towards me, I cant reach the above position unless I'm bolt upright, more than I would want even at the track. Sigh.

sitting indian position on the seat and just modulate your speed with the cruise control buttons
