Any way to get a few extra inches out of the driver seat? I had a BMW 740i and used to frequent a forum that described how to change the seat-tracks to get more legroom but sold that vehicle before I got around to doing the tweaks.

how tall are you? I'm 6'4 and I have no problems at all. And I even have plenty of extra room to move back.

I'm 6' 2". My legs are at about a 45 degree angle now which is fine for driving normally but they get cramped on the longer drives when I can't stretch them out.

In the past I've owned a Honda Prelude and a BMW 330iC, both two-seaters like the RX-8 and both allowed me to almost fully stretch out my legs if I desired.

I re-drilled / tapped the my mounting points and moved my seat back 3".
Works fine but the drivers side rear seat is only good for double-amputee passengers..

I'm 6'3 and I can't reach the pedals if I move the seat back all the way. My legs are normal length.

Adjust cloth seats

check this link out, I have the cloth seats and am over 6' tall, I switched out the front bolts and added some washers so the seats tilt back more.

Do you have pictures or a description of the method you used?

I'm 6'4 and have serious trouble driving. I can't drive for more then half and hour before my back and knee's start bothering me. I would love for some solution to either raise the steering wheel or push the seat back a few inches.

I need place too, because I can't push the accel pedal while I'm braking. I like being close to the steering wheel, but than there isn't enough place for my knee under the steering wheel shaft, because of it's cover. So I will take off this plastic cover.
