DIY extended seat track...

Hey, I'm a tall guy (6'7") but i really love civics. I was wondering if anyone has, or knows how to make a custom track for the drivers seat so that it could go back farther, like touching the back seat?

I wouldn't think it would be that hard considering people make custom brackets for racing seats all the time...

Let me know!

take the seat out then re drill holes where you want the seat to sit.

Yeah dude, unless you have a car that can pull a .90 on the laterals theres really no need for sparcos at all, they just look out of place in a civic.

I'd be tempted to disagree... considering the Si and RSX come STOCK with Recaros, but think what you like anyways. (and no I don't have sparcos, I think its idiotically ignorant to think that just because a car isn't labeled as a sports car, it shouldn't have comfortable supportive side bolsters on the seats.)

There is no DIY. Find a racing fab shop, have them make custom brackets and have the seat welded to the floorpan.
