Default Moving Seat

Is there any way to move the seat further back? I have long legs and it's pissing me off.

You must have REALLY long lets, im 6'2 and can still move the seat back a good bit. Are you sure you have it moved all they way back. It should be really really close to the back seat.

My knees are hitting the wheel, have to move it up but then I can't see the temp gauge. How do I go about drilling the brackets? Has anyone done that?

Will do. I need to be careful of fuel lines or wires. Is there anything there that would get in the way?

nothing under there that i know about, the fuel lines run along the bottom driverside of the driveshaft tunnel. you can flip the fuel line brackets upside down and push the fuel lines up to gain a few inches if you're that worried. all of us true dual guys do it to clear the exhaust better

there might be wires for the seatbelt tattle-tell light under theresomewhere, or maby some wires for the power seat (if you have one) but there is no wires underneath the car. just drill till you hit pavement
