Seat options for tall people?

[HJ2]

Hello all!

I have a potential buyer for the steel blue M100.
He is rather a tall bloke (1.96m).

I can lower the seats for him by removing the spacers obviously, but are there any other options for gaining space for the legs in particular?
For instance, can the steering wheel be raised a little, or can I customise any other parts so the seat goes back a tad more... things like that!

I would also be interested in possible gains by swapping sets for Mazda RX8, Mercedes SLK etc, or even bucket racing seats directly bolted to the frame.

All info welcome, as always!

I’m happy to be corrected but all the after market ones I’ve seen seem even higher.
I’m looking at refurbishing mine next year, I’m hoping theres a way to drop the height a little.

There is, by ditching the spacers but fill the corner where the longest spacer uses to be.

I don't know all of the details (eg mounting), but while Ian May had his S2 he had SWLC put in some Evora seats for him. He's also 196cm and it worked for him.

The steering column has some adjusment, make sure it is up. You could fit a smaller wheel.
Having the seat slightly more upright may allow it to go further back. SE seats sag when the diaphragm is broken... Longer clips to create the same effect?

I agree with the above. Worth trying the simple, cost effective things first HJ rather than the more costly things.

Steering wheel fully up... duh!
But perhaps I can adjust a bracket so i ‘ll have more room to play with, or make
Larger holes in a bracket... something like that!
I will look into it when my Astra Zenica is in and I have no complaints, haha

Top (but expensive) tip on the evora seats!

I am getting some Evora seats on Sat.

How much is this going to cost you?
(PM is fine)

Yup I did that ten years ago, still not enough to get the top of my head out of the wind.

Lots. But I will probably keep them in the Evora

Welcome to the M100 Evora owners club! Enjoy!

M100 Evora club. I like it

If the seats are that comfortable, you could always leave the drivers one in the Evora, and put the passenger one in the M100 drivers space.......
