Damn, I'd have thought this link would have helped, but no.

^Figures. I was thinking maybe with MMP in SLC, maybe I could find a shop there, but I thought it most likely I'd need to go to SoCal and try there. I've looked at some OMP options, but shit, why is the world full of midgets?

Tell me about it.

Anyone know of any test-fit shops? Any performance shops with a metric ass ton of seats to test out?

Good luck. Places like that don't exist anymore.

You all suck.

I drove 10 miles today, someone please, HALP.


Even if it's esoteric, like VAC seat mounts, some strange slider, and unique seat or magik and mumbojumbo.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I still want a reclining back, but I'm open to floor mount race seats too. I can drive an e30 with comfort seats, all the way back, and the upright leaned back further than I would like. Sports, not so much, little tougher.

6' 9" in a e30 is a task. It really does sound like custom.

But then again some big people can fit in a hyundai tiburon. Maybe adapt those? What other cars sit on the floor?

[marshallnoise]

Most people are going to poo-poo this, but the RSX-S seats I have in my e30 articulate down and are plenty wide. I have 4th Gen Prelude seats in my 4Runner and they are too narrow all the way around. I will snag a picture of the driver's seat and the relation to the door jamb to give you an idea.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Bumpo? I might start to DD an e30, so I'm gonna need to figure this out...


Also, I'm almost down to a 40 now, but I know I need more than just losing weight.

I parted an m3/4/5 and thought about installing the power sedan seats, but they are too tall, even all the way down.

Hmmmm. Man, I wish I could help you in your quest. My girlfriend always tells me I need bigger seats so I told her that you're 6'9" and can't believe you fit at all.

Maybe it's just me, but anyone with a 32-33" waist has NO reason being in a thread where people with 44" waists are talking.

Not to mention I was talking about how the exact seats you spoke of were too small for my situation...

Question, are manual vaders lower than power e36 sedan seats at their lowest?

No, its not just you. That kid could fit in Yugo seats just fine.


Don't you have an m3? Does it have power vaders in it?
