Re: Boost Gauges ALL

Just out of curiousity, how tall are you? I am about 6' -> 6'1", and no matter what I do, I can't get the right driving position. I always feel like the seat can't go low enough and far back enough. No, I'm not going for that low rider reclined look. I mean, with the current position I use, I can feel the tips of my hair touching the roof unless I recline a bit. I like the seat on the floor, straight back position personally. So when I have it the way I like, I have to recline a bit to stop myself from punching a hole in the roof with frustration. About the only car I've ever driven that had what I consider to be a perfect seat position is my cousin's Boxster.

I wonder, is there a way to mount the seat lower and further back? hmmm . . .

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the seats in this car. I wouldn't trade them for another seat in the world, except for maybe some newer Volvo seats, which I hope are even better then mine. I just can't get it to articulate far enough back and down enough.

How do you plan on doing that stepped mount plate? Do you do your own custom plastic fabrication? If you have access to such plastic fabrication machinery, maybe we could do pod mounts through your source.
