Default a way to get more head/ leg room in Tc????

i finally found a tc that is affordable and has everything that i could ever want in a car... EXCEPT.. im 6 foot 4 and my head is almost to the roof and and im used to just a bit more leg room...

my question is.... is there any way i could possibly move the seat sliders (or rails) back so i can get some more leg room?? or is there an after market seat i can get that is lower than the stock seat????

i dont dont care if i gotta put some cash into it... i was just wondering if any other tall freeks have had this problem..

i've seen most tall guys do okay with the stock seat.

they might have to adjust it all the way back and have the back inclined back a little, but nothing that was too uncomfortable or anything that i've heard mentioned

Dude, Im 6'6 and a tad over 300lbs. I fit fine, but if you dont like it.. go to celica seats, or tenzos.. they will both drop you down a little

lol im 6'4 215 and if ur getting a manual u wont need any more leg room. ull need to move the seat foward to shift. unless ur a thug and can shift all the way back. i can hardly push the clutch all the way in if im all the way back ur fine. and for the head room thats just our problem i never hit my head just tilt ur seat back a little

I'm 6'4 and I have no problems. I don't even have the seat all the way back, and I barely recline it.

6'2" ~250lbs and it's a tight fit for me, really wish the seat could slide another inch further back and was an inch lower, even though I have it reclined. I've even had people under 6' 200lbs tell me it's a bit tight for them, so this is definitely a "YMMV" situation. Compared to the tC, I had more room in all the smaller cars I've had.

Ditto. Smaller cars I've had definitely have had more leg room, possibly head room too. I'm 6' and 235. Feel cramped when I'm in the car longer than 2 hours or so...

most aftermarket seats like sparcos sit you down about 1.25"lower,as for further back what you see is what you get kinda.
