Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am a taller guy with longer legs and have issues with my knees clearing the wheel when it is turned. I pull the wheel all the way out, but it is still not enough. I would move to a smaller wheel as I find the factory wheel to be too large, but there are no wheels I can find that are smaller and still have an airbag. That leaves me with raising the wheel. I haven't taken apart the lower dash yet to see how the column is attached to the dash bar, but wanted to know if you guys know if it would be possible to raise the rack by removing spacers that may exist?

POST 2Original post

I assume (but still need to ask anyway) have you LOWERED the driver's seat all the way DOWN too???

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes. All the way down and back.

No. Here's the steering column: I don't have a good pic handy of the dashboard fully removed, but this one shows some of the framework under the dash cover: It's going to probably require some fabrication of the framework to raise the steering column. Have you looked at doing a console delete? It opens room for your right knee. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/75-BODY-GT3_Console_Delete/75-BODY-GT3_Console_Delete.htm

Hah, already tried once to turn this into an endurance race car and was talked out of it. Not going down that path.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That is definitely going to be a challenge. Probably not something I want to spend the time doing...yet.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
