I looked a little further into racing seats that work for tall giants. I found two resonably priced options:

The Sparco Evo series. http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_comp.asp?id=551

and

The Corbeau FX1 series. http://www.corbeau.com/products/fixe...seats/fx1_pro/

There are different widths for these seats. Some of them may be too wide to fit in smaller cars.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the FRS and will no doubt be getting one if it fits! So with that I had a question in mind for anyone able to give a sound answer....with the flat boxer engine being relatively compact shouldn't this be a fairly roomy car despite the fact it's compact? I know Subaru's are like this but then again they're FWD orientated designs.

LOL. So, you think because someone drives an automatic they don't know how to drive a stick??? I learned to drive sticks because when I began driving that's all the average man could afford. Get over it!
