Front seat headroom

I imagine you have already tried it, but I was able to get the last bit of needed headroom in my track car by reclining the seat further than I would normally choose to.

So, as promised I moved the seats today. Gave me a good 1/2" of additional headroom.
Still, if I move upright to fast, bam, straight into the roof. I'm really not that tall, so I guess the paddin on the seats must be extra plentiful.
I have what I believe to be 8-way power seats.
I guess next step is the manual seats!

Having an extended-hub steering wheel didn't really help - it just means you can lie further back, but still not a great driving position.
The solution was to find another no-sunroof 928.. the difference in headroom is huge - about 2.5" more than a sunroof car.

In our country we are not allowed to import cars over 10 years old, bonkers law really, but there nonetheless. So basically I'm "stuck" with my 928! I really like this car and would not like to sell it on the headroom issue alone. I'm only 5-11.5 and still hitting the roof.r
Guess ill keep trying until a solution is found.

Picked up some hardback 997 sport seats that do sit a bit lower and deleted the sunroof while in for paint. I do see some boxster seats (soft back) on sale for between $ 500-800 on RL For Sale now & then. T

Took the seats off a 997 and could not fit them into the 928. Beyond my mechanical abilities probably.
Gave up and will look into fitting a set of Cobra or Recaro seats sometime in the future.
