Ok this maybe completely farfetched but i though id ask. When i bought my my 6th gen was summer before senior year i was like 6'1 summer of 07 now summer of 08 and im 6"4 nearing 6"5 and i still fit comfortable but not as comfortable as id like. Especially it being 5 speed and me having to have my foot in the cramp position when driving for long periods of time. Buttt !! now to my questions is there anyways i could custom mount my seats back a little bit farther for totally comfortable drive like i had when i first got her. Because i really love this car and dont wanna have to get rid of just because im too damn big !

I don't think there's a way you can safely do that, but then I'm a 5'7" chick, so it's not something I've ever explored. Putting the back rest back some doesn't help?

hahha they are all the way back it helps some when i let the top of the seat recline a little but i dont like driving this way it looks retarded.

there's not much you can do. the stock seat mounts are already low as they are. perhaps getting aftermarket seats with less cushioning might do the trick. i'm 5'10 and i can't possibly imagine how a 6'5 would fit in there.. our cars were designed by short people, for short people.

i dont understand why the 6gc has so little room in it when i can fit in a s200 and a newer miata just fine no head bumping the roof, i guess its the sunroof. i dunno just my two cents

[azian_advanced]

the sunroof definitely takes a lot of headroom, but i can't have a car without one.
it would've been better if the beams on the floor where the seat mounts onto wasn't raised so high.. then everyone under 6'3 would be happy

and to be fixed by people with little hands which I think is why I can be of value under the hood - my hands are stoopid small and I'm not even really short for a chick

definitely don't need to buy a new car, just get some new seats like these sparcos --> http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=644
they are a lot lower than stock
