hi thanks to the others for posting pics of seat modifications. my 93 justy seats are self-destructing and i want to put in something else. but i'm 6'3" and can barely fit into the car already. does anyone know of some other model seats i can use that will provide some better support to my gimpy old back without costing me valuable headroom? i've sized up a few but they're all too high or too wide.
thanks!

Suzuki Swift GTI seats are just fine with me. They provide adequate side and back support. I am currently using a fiberglass OMP racing seat, but it is not for everyone.

the suzuki gti are great....thats what we use wen we started rallying... for the head room i totaly know what you mean...im 6,3 to...whit the helmet its hell!!! my biggest issue was that the cage was not built for a tall guy...so i was not able to rotate the seat backward becose it was stop by the cage so i ad to cut and remoove some of the frame beam under the seat...and bolt the seat rigth on the floor it not the best set up...but the only way for me to drive this car...on the new one im building the cage will leave me proper space and i will finaly have a proper driver position. It was hell!!! i ad the strearing wheel touching bot of my knees(very hard ti drive)...wen in first end seccond gear the shifter was also on my knee.....my left elbow was scwees betwen the cage and the door(wich always give me bruses) and at every big bump my helmet was hitting the roof!!!

seats out of the renault lecar r-5 would fit and they are very comfortable, although they would take a small amount of enginuity to mount becasue the mounts are differant

I have put power seats outa 70's era thunderbird turbo coupe. I used the manual rails that are mounted on the bottom of the justy seats. With a little work on them, they fit the turbo coupe seats well. I have a friend who's over 6ft and he says its the most room he's ever had in a car. I did take all the power stuff off of the bottom of the turbo coupe seats
