I've decided I need a tiny bit more height to be 100%comfortable in my T350. I fit just fine, but my head is a bit in the roof (it's a Targa and when the roof's off you can see my head sticking out). Taking the seat base cushion out does the trick. Away from the track, does anyone else do this?

I'm thinking of getting a thinner cushion made up (or maybe slicing the foam in half, but then the existing cushion cover will be loose and look messy). Any suggestions for where to get one made up?

My car's back to the dealer's on Weds to fix the last of the snags (new front springs) and I've asked them to find out if the factory can supply one ...

When I last test drove a Tuscan I took the base out and it seemed pretty comfortable. I tend to like my rake upright - too many years of motorcycling and trying to lean over the front wheel - and it's difficult in some cars to get it all together. I'm a lanky 1.91....


.....what am I saying! I'm a big lard who also happens to be 1.91!

If you talk to the factory they can defiantely change the cushions. We are vertically challenged so have increased cushions, to see out, but we also have a thinner pair of cushions for tall people!

I went to the factory to get measured up (6'4"), they gave me thinner seat cushions and (I think) also lowered the seat somehow
