Default Help, I'm too long!

At least that's what they tell me

But seriously, I love my 95 SR, I've put 4,000 miles on her in 2 months (now only 34,000 on the odometer). Drove from NY straight to Louisiana last month without any problems. She had been sitting for 6-7 years before that, I gotta say I'm impressed. Did discover one thing though....for the great headroom it sure is short on driver legroom. I guess most don't notice it but at 6'4" it's bugging me. Has anybody here tackled modifying the seat/track? It looks like there's room in the track and there's plenty of rear legroom. Any thoughts?

That doesn't seem right - I'm not nearly that tall but I can move my seat back so far I can't even stretch to reach the pedals.

Is it a power seat or manual?

If you say there's more room left in the track then pull the seat bottom off and see what's stopping it from moving all the way back.

There are two bolts just under the front edge of the seat bottom and then the cushion front lifts up and the whole thing just pulls out toward the front.

If it's a power seat, somewhere in there you'll find a limit switch that stops the travel. It might be adjustible - can't recall. If manual there will be some other stop mechanism.

it's a power driver seat...... and when set all the way back (like I've got it) it's dead even with the manual passenger seat set all the way back. I'll take another look tomorrow but I'm pretty sure that's it. Any "long men" care to chime in ?
