Me And The Seats Of An Evo

Well, I sat in an Evo the other day....
I was kinda dissapointed because i wanted one of these cars, and still do, but theres only one problem. I barely fit!

I'm not THAT big, i have a Linebacker body, for any football guys out there....

Im about 6 foot 230 pounds....i just have big thighs from football and the pedals...there REALLY close together.
Any bigger seats available out there?

Some guy just posted putting in Recaro SPG XL's or something like that. Search for it or even just look farther down in Show and Shine. I'm sure you'll find it. Had the same problem. Ask him about it.

Jeez you are a big boy, a friend of mine has a linebacker body (plays rugby now) and when I had the recaros in my lancer he thought they were tight too. I would guess you have giant shoulders than since that the problem he had, he could fit in the bottom part of the seat but the top pushed his chest in so he could really move around much. Try some aftermarket seats, there's got to be some that'll fit you.
