seat at the highest thigh/sitting position. tilt around 90-100 degrees. seat close enough to the front so that i can cross my wrists at the top of the steering wheel, so maybe like 3 clicks back(my legs brush against the plastic trim pieces under the steering wheel). hands at 9 and 3, but doing the thumbs up position. i try to have both hands on the wheel all the time, so i never rest it on the shifter. i hear thats actually bad for your tranny too, though im not sure if its true, or if it only applies to rwd cars. i always turn with both hands to, and never solo/palm the wheel.
in my other car when i autox, I pretty much drive exactly the same, but my right leg is actually pushing against the tranny tunnel trim, and my left foot pushing hard against the dead pedal. i guess its a way to properly brace myself firmly, or atleast my legs. I try to use my ankle muscles to adjust the throttle in normal driving and autox, and not my whole leg like many highschool punks do when they sit in the far back seating position and who basically can't even hold the wheel with both hands and still be in the proper non-slouched forward position since they pretty much have to reach out with the ball of their foot just to reach the pedal.
