I'm also somewhat tall. ~5'11 for some reason I fit very poorly in cars the 8 especially.

I am researching some mods to aid with that.
1 - Lowering seat cushion
2 - extend steering wheel

For the seat I will be making an appointment next month with a place that seems good. Should cost ~$150 maybe more. I printed out pages from the manual with seat assembly graphics so I could show the seat guy when I get my final estimate.

For the steering wheel it will probably have to wait till Momo comes out with a hub for the 8. I want to keep the stock steering wheel so I can keep the airbag. Price would be up to ~$1000 hopefully less. Also, have printed a page out of the manual.

I think it's cause I have long legs. So the result is that my knees hit the kickbaord.

At 6'2" the only problem that I have is that i don't feel like I sit in the seat pocket as snug as I would like. am I the only one? I think I am going to change up to recaro next summer.

which one?.....about the wild drifting you decided to do on the highway ending us up facing oncoming traffic scaring a poor elderly woman in an suv out of her wits?.....to take a 3 hour tour of newjersey and going through 17 jug handles only to get to a place that had the worlds smelliest dog.......and wait 13 hours for some one to tell a man who was 87 years old and had coffeecake face that his car couldnt get dyno'd cuz they broke it.....an then wait another 3 hours for them to get some thing that could have taken us a total of maybe 13 seconds given the actual effort?.........nope no story there kind sir.....just going home and getting lost on the way there because discussion confuses certain people while driving.....not a story there either sir....but otherwise i am completely exstatic with the outcome regardless if the custom trunk wasnt completed....it will be so im not worried about it.....and i know its gonna look as sick as it sounds.......ok i cant wait for tomorrow but damn it i gotta wash the car!!
