Big Drivers and 3rd Gens

I'm 6' and a little over 200lbs. The car is tight, but it fits (I'm used to it ). Are there any other big drivers out there who have made modifications to make some room?

I'm considering seats and a steering wheel. Though from what I have read about seats, nothing is really lower than the stockers. And I figured a slightly smaller diameter steering wheel would give me a little more knee room.

One other problem I have is heel and toe'ing. The tranny tunnel is in the way and I can't twist my leg to get on the gas.. The brake pedal feels too low (by quite a bit). Are there any ways to adjust the height of the pedals (asside from pads and SS lines )?

Thanks in advance guys

The 2nd gens has an adjustable steering wheel, 8x adjustable seats with lumbar, etc... so were lucky.

Can you swap in 2nd gen seats?

I am 6'4" and trim around the middle

My *** falls asleep after more than 2 hours in the car but otherwise I am comfortable except for the wheel being a little low and giving me the same problems you have with heel and toeing. A wide gas pedal adaptor helped me a lot, but I still can't say it's the final solution. A smaller diameter wheel will give you more room to swing your right leg around.

final solution - buy a turbo II

Just kidding. I think people have bought racing seats that help and many do support larger body sizes.
