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.

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

POST 1Original post

I have exactly the same problem with a 996. Ray Martin at Porsche GB (Reading) offered to take padding from the seat and thus lower it by 1/2 an inch (not enough in my instance). Try speaking to him and see what he advises. Ray is in charge of upholstory etc. DAZ

POST 2Original post

I think a race seat is ya only solution in the 3.2 im guessing its got a sunroof coz ive had the same grief. A race seat bolted directly to the floorpan with no mounting brackets used was the only option in a suroofed SC I drove and that was still a bit tight for me at 6'3'' with a lid on tho.

POST 5Original post

I might be interested in your old seats if you decide to change them (assuming colour and condition are Ok) Danny

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have an 88 911 3.2 Sport, which I would like to do track days in. However, I'm too tall to get in the car comfortably with a crash helmet on. Has anyone succesfully lowered the drivers seat in a pre 89 911 or am I going to have to buy a race seat ?
