Default Advice from the Pros

I sold my Honda VFR motorcycle before I killed myself.
I would like to buy a S2000 so my wife and I can enjoy a drive.
I sat in a stock 2005 and I'm a little concerned about the fit.
I'm 6 feet tall and 225 pounds with 32" inseam. Can the stock seat be easily modified to accommodate me. I would like to be a little lower or back another inch. Spare me the custom seat for a gazillion bucks. I have to believe guys my size are driving S2000. Is the steering wheel adjustable up and down?

Thanks for your help
John O

someone on this board (lots of people actually) took the seats out and pissed around with the bottom part to make it lower.....

I am pretty sure the steering wheel is not adjustable in any way (you would think I would know for sure but I don't).

I am 5'11" and fit just fine....you shouldn't have any real problems even leaving the seats stock.

Scot's right, i remember reading about a few people actually lowering the seats....another thing you can do (will only help a bit, but it will allow you to put the seat back 1 more click)....remove the little plastic hooks behind your seat

OK cease fire friends. I found a thread about lowering the seat pan. I'll do some more searching and reading.
Thanks for the quick replies it pointed me in the right direction.
