Default Seat adjustment mod...

Is there a way to move the seat track in my 01 TA back a little further to give me a little more leg room? I colud care less about ever having leg room for anyone in the back seat, since no one ever rides back there anyway, but I need more leg room up front!

wouldn't you just have to move the track back and extend the wires(if power seats) and fill in the old holes? and secure it enough for an accident. like putting in after market seats.

Either elongate the holes or get different seats. I have Mad Racing Seats with Arizen brackets and they go WAYYY back. A good 2-6 inches further than stock.

How tall are you? I'm 6'4 and I don't even have the seat all the way back. It does have a slight gangster lean though.

There is a bump-stop mod on the track where you pop something out and lets it back another inch or so. Just try a search.

Peace,

I am 6'2" and I will definatly atleast try the bump stop mod for starters. Right now I really don't want to have to go with new seats to get the leg room that I would like, even though that would be nice. In the next week or so I may be doing a little work on the seats. I will post up if I have any luck.
