SEAT HEIGHT
Is there a way to adjust the seat height of the passenger side site without buying a new seat or any major modifications.
My fiancé is currently sitting on a pillow because if she doesn't she can't see out the window. I want a solution that will keep the car looking stock in the inside. Any suggestions would be appreciated! |

I know your feeling.
This seat is perfect for me. Nobody drives it but me. I'm 5'9 and I adjust the seat all the way up. It's perfect for me for daily drive but when I do some parking job, I always scare of hitting the car in front of/ behind me. When I drove my old car, as long as the car fit the spot, I could do it no problem, just took more time for tight spot. But with this car, no. The seat is too low to get a perfect parking in tight spot. |

I am looking at swapping the drivers side (LHD USD) base for my LHD PAssanger (Im in Australia and when have our shit on the right side...) so still looking into this but I think that is going to be the best bet. Or you can get spacers made up but not sure how legal that would be... (try to find my thread on this)

Yeah you read the question wrong I'm 5'11 and have to have it as low as possible to drive it but either way it applies to the situation she wants to drive the car sometimes too and complains about seat height. |

SEAT HEIGHT

I can search for the part you need locally I'm in SoCal and I'm sure there are a few wrecked ones around that have that assembly! I maybe able to ship it to you if you're willing to do the same for me or possibly trade me? Since like I said I don't mind my seat being at the lowest position. Let me know and I can start browsing around in my free time. I was also looking into just buying a new seat from a LHD gt86 or frs. |

Haha wait, you meant to quote the other post right because I corrected him that you meant the passenger side but maybe I'm wrong and confused. But if she drives it she can put the car seat all the way up if she wanted on the drivers side so that shouldn't be a problem except this is a case where automatic memory seats would be a great addition since switching drivers will be a hassle.

Yeah you were right I meant the passenger seat but still the driver seat applies as well since she will drive it from time to time. Automatic memory seats is an option? I'm kind of a noob. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah I guess this could work. I wonder if anyone's done it? I've tried to search the forum but not much comes up on this topic. I'll pull the seat out this weekend to see what's possible. As far as that or goes not happening! Thanks for the offer though, I got a good laugh out of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wait, I'm just having a little bit of trouble understanding the situation.
She wants a higher seat as a passenger because she can't see out the window? I can picture that but I don't understand how that's a problem though. I mean, does the passenger's need to see out warrant getting a new seat or to modify anything too much? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be an asshat, just trying to understand if I'm reading the situation correctly. You gotta do what you gotta do to keep the lady happy lol. And if she wants to drive, then it's easy putting the seat up higher since the driver's side height is always adjustable. |

@ZOMFGAARON ..... don't feel like a lone ranger. When mrs humfrz jumps into the passenger seat, the seat goes waaay back (so, I couldn't get my .45 out of the pouch on the back of the seat if I wanted to); the head rest gets reversed (cause it bugs her); a seat belt grabber gets put on; the vents on her side are all changed; her giant purse has to put some fresh scratches on the glove box door; a couple of cushions are stuffed around ...... and of course, it's always too hot or too cold. But I just love her company ...... humfrz |
