Laugh at me, Because I am laughing at me
So I have been waiting to get my car and go **** around and have some fun with it, well I get my car, and since its been a loooong *** time since I have driven a 5 speed I have a friend bring it back to my house where I can try to go from there, well, I get in my car, I move the seat back, uh-oh, it doesnt go any further, Im about 6"3 maybe a hair taller but the 88 Mazda RX-7 Turbo 2 Was not designed for me to fit comfortably and operate safely with a clutch at the same time, so I try to move my steering wheel up, No progress, so I have my car, and I cant even drive it because my knees hit my steering column and I have to drive bow-legged if I do go anywhere its a complete mess so I am going to either move my seat mounts back so I have more room, or pickup some racing seats and a smaller steering wheel........
Not good, 13 days of delay to get it and I cant even drive it comfortably.....
WHY GOD!!!!
I curse you japanese!!!

They might not be going back all the way.......But They Just wont go any further, so I might have to take them apart, they go to the 2nd setting after the closest to the wheel...and thats it, I thought they should go back further...

I just put my vert seats into my 90 GTU because the cloth seats had a huge tear in the side, and it kept getting worse. With the vert seats(same dimensionally as S4), I sit higher and farther forward by about an inch each way. And its not the rails, because Im using the rails from my GTU(vert ones were rusted). Im only 6 ft, and headroom/legroom was never a problem before, but now with these seats my head is very close to the headliner, and I could really use that extra inch of legroom...

man if its that big of an issue just get rid of the seat all together and buy viperkillerwannabees back seat (the ones that suck) and sit back there.......knock out two birds with one stone.....hes happy and ur happy....and man u wont need a sick looking exterior to turn head......when they see the driver from the backseat im sure it will get plenty of attention
