moving drivers seat back and down.
hi. Here is a strange one. I have bought a s14a and im 6' 7" tall. My knees are wrapped around both sides of the wheel and heads touching the roof. If i bought a bucket seat do u think there is a way to chop and weld and move it back a few inch. I think some bucket seat frames have holes for height adjustment so i could drill more lower he needed. I love the car so want to keep it. Im going to get a smaller wheel. That might help.

the super low bride subframe i have for my bride recliner means i'm basically sat in the back seat. The bottom of the rail is literally sat on the floor of the car when all the way back, its that low (its not as thick as the stock rail either, so gives you an idea of how low it is), i can't even get a floor mat underneath it, it just slides it up and rolls it into a ball behind the drivers seat as its resting on the floor anyway, no room for even a gnat's cock in there
It also goes back much further, so that'd probably be something to look for. I'm only 6'1 but i fit comfortably in there, even if i am a little way from the steering wheel (might get a larger deeper wheel as i prefer being further back but dont like being at full stretch for the steering wheel).

i'm 6ft 5in and i just fit in, or squeeze in, its ok for short journeys but not for the longer ones, i assume you also have a problem with the handbrake lever.
i wouldn't mind moving the seat backa dn down as well but i would rather do it with the standard seats
does anyone know if this is possible or legal

it would be interesting to know if the standard seat frame could be cut and moved back. If it can fancy helping each other. i have a mig.

do you not need a bride seat to go with them, i wouldn't have though they wouldn't have fitted the standard seats
yuo were also saying about have issues reaching the steering wheel (ha ha short ass), what about fitting a quick release spacer type of thing, like this one

Im buggered with head and leg room, not only am i 6' 7" tall im 22 stone too....
Using handbrake and elec windows is a problem, good job its an auto as i just stick it in park .
I might get a smaller wheel and look into cutting and welding seat to move it a tad.

Pretty sure you can use those rails for other seats, just amazed he got them for that price. Usually everytime a Bride item comes up the £ signs start making that constant cha-ching sound!
