should be possible, set them so they are laying flat and put the headrests in the boot and maybe the rails if they come off?

I would've said L7 seemed the most logical (plus less chance of seat rail of top one damaging bottom seat.)

They are recaro speeds so cant remove head rest but dont have the seat rails on them, hopefully they will fit as its a nearly 2 hour drive.
Its a Tin top so cant remove a t bar to gain space and also have a role cage to fit them round.
Fingers crossed.

does a 'role cage' trap you into a certain mode of driving?

Rollcages on a road going mr2 are terrible. I had one in mine and it did my head in.

I wouldnt of liked to have a crash in it either..... Way to close to my head.
