Brett Souza wrote:I'm 6'3" and have signed up for the Performance Driving School next month. I got my Handbook and I cannot adjust my seat appropriately. My legs are not a problem as I can reach/depress the clutch all the way to the floor with my right foot. It is my upper torso and head. I have the seat reclined far enough back that I can comfortably reach the stearing wheel, but my head barely clears the headliner. I don't know if I can put a helmet on without having to "crunch" down some.
Any suggestions?
I saw this discussion on replacing seats and making room for tall drivers.

Brett I went through the same issue as I am 6' 3" with a very long torso. I went through various versions of this from putting racing seats in, to custom mouting brackets, to no sliders to gain room, to my current configuration....bolted to the floor with the welded in mounts removed in the rear seat portion to gain height.....and I removed the sun roof. A bit extreme but my car is really a track car.
If you do not want to change seats, I suggest that you open the sun roof, crunch down a bit, and lean your head to the right to get into the sunroof opening for your head.
You can get a cusom seat bracket add at each event change out the seat if theat gives you enough head room. Not hard to change seats really, just some time before and after each event. The expense will be in the custom seat bracket, another seat, and working it out so you can have enough head room.
Bottom line, short of doing some changes in your seat and mounting...with consessions...there is little that can be done for long torso drivers in the 993.
