Marty: Sent ya a PM. I'd love to see you do a 2nd gen!

Andrew: If you're over about 145 lbs or taller than 5' 7" you probably couldn't even get into the drivers seat to drive it. The drivers area is custom built for me and the seats do not move.

The seats are Kirkey # 63s and they are available in 14-15-16-17-18 inch sizes. I purchased them through Delaware Chassis Works. The drivers seat is a 14", the passengers is a 16" and both have been heavily modified to fit them in the confines of the roll cage and meet the tech requirements of the various sanctioning bodies. I was really nervous about cutting up seats that are about $1,000.00 each to see if we could put them in the car. There was no possible way to install a larger passenger seat and in fact I sent back the first one I was going to use there. Passenger seat will now allow a person up to about 6' and 210-220 lbs if they're limber enough to climb in. Installing the same seats in a first gen would be much easier.

The seats are NASCAR seats. They're surpisingly comfortable once installed and with all the padding in place. I've gone on a couple 2-3 hour drives and was pleasantly surprised once I got over the feeling of confignment. The drawback to seats like these is that you really can't move at all once seated and harnessed in. Here's a couple pics of them stock.
