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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Captain leggy' as my friends call me needs help. I am 6'6", looking at buying a 996 gt3 but haven't as of yet. Does anyone know of any tricks to extend the seat back further in a gt3 to get a few extra inches of legroom?
I have seen some custom fabricated seat rails which were longer than stock in track cars.. you'd need a good local metalworking shop...
Have you sat in one yet? One advantage of the GT3 is the center console delete.. which allows one to splay you legs a little wider. I am shorter than you but had issues in my boxster. Once I removed the center console (with the GT3 delete kit) it was mush more comfortable. After that, yes, you would need a machine shop/race shop fabricate longer seat rails for you. Depending on the GT3 you buy, it will either have stock sport seats or the "euro" seats. The euro seats*might", due to their (lack of) padding, offer a bit more legroom than the original seats.
If they are like the sport seats in my 2003 cab you can remove the stops in the tracks and get about 2" more travel. There are still holes for the adjuster to latch behind where the stops held it.
