Hey guys,
Has anyone ever altered the seat rails so the front seats can be adjusted further back than they normally do? Mine don't quite go back far enough for a completely comfortable long distance drive. I'm not overly tall, but I had more front leg room in my old Honda.  Not to mention it's not like there's a lack of legroom in the rear of an NF Fairlane, so rear passengers won't be losing out. lol. 
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Dan.

I've been in a few fairlanes and I've found the seats go back quite a bit
and I'm 6'3" checked for coins in the rails?

They might go back a fair way....but it's all about your own personal driving style and comfort. I tend to like my seat to go back further than alot of people I know. I also know some people who are very tall who sit right up close to the wheel. *shrugs* Each to their own I guess. Wouldn't ask on here if it was simply a matter of cleaning out the rails. lol.
I'm only looking to extend it back a couple more inches. But thanks.

I'm 6ft 1 and I personally find my EF quite uncomfortable, nowhere near enough legroom for me! My old Corolla had more! I'd be very interested if there is an easy way to change this! |

Yeah, there has to be a way...havin' me leg bent and holding my foot up for a few hours(when the cruise control can't be utilised) hurts the old leg after a while. Just need to be able to stretch out a little more is all. Might unbolt it all tomorrow and see if there's some way of extending the travel....hmmm.

Hmm, yeah...a longer wheelbased fairlane. Just insert an extra 2 feet in the middle and setup a bar inside. Schweeeet.
