i outgrew my car
sadly i will not stop growing. when i returned home from college i was shocked to find that i had to slouch to fit in my 84 gsl. this means that i have no chance of fitting in it with a helmet on and therefore i cannot autocross it. how much would a cheep racing seat lower it in relation to the stock seat?

The GSL seats are thick because of the extra adjuster. Get a non-GSL seat from the junkyard, or put in a FC seat. Or remove the adjuster (I'm going to try that on my GSL).
The diff between the GSL and the old seats is huge.

I'm 6'2" and my 83 is fine: good headroom and legroom, but the 85GSL is cramped. To lean the seat back far enough I have to slide the seat forward and my knees hit the wheel even worse.

Prosthetic head.
I'm 6'2" and have the seat as far back as possible, and leaned back as far as possible. This is for legroom AND head room. If I had it any less than all the way back, I'd hit my head.

I see you have an SE, exleopard... have you tried using the extra adjustment on SE seats that tilts the seat bottom itself? Once I found that, it was all too easy to fit into the car.

My friend is like 6'2" and every time I take him somewhere in the car he says "damn Japanese cars!". I guess they weren't designed with us corn fed Americans in mind, were they.
