Default Still don't fit in an S2k, seat help?

As my previous posts show, i love the s2k and i'm trying to lose weight and buy one, two months ago i was 315 pounds and didn't fit in the car at all, now at 280 i fit a little better (the owner, a member from here, has lowered his seat one inch, thanks Pat for letting me test the seat)

So i'm wondering if and when i reach 245 pounds, i know i will fit better, but i need to find a aftermarket seat that would fit my waist, and that is nice and low in the cockpit? any help?

I'm 245 and owned the car for over 2 years. It's not just a matter of weight, rather it's how fat the ass is.

If you have a 40" or less waist on your pant size, you should be fine as far as fitting in the seat. Getting in and out gets more difficult as you get heavier....

Getting in and out of the car gets harder too.

Give Oprah a call. Maybe she will give you a free S2000.

my buddy is 6'6" and fits fine. He is REALLY thin, though, just over 200 for 6'6". His only gripe is the legroom. He says its too narrow for him, as his knees hit the center console. For headroom, he moves the seat a bit forward of ALL the way back (a few clicks) then leans the seat back until it hits the roll hoops. Plenty of headroom then.

5'10 and about 240 here (shut up ). I found the seat side bolsters a bit tight at first but they seem to moosh out and loosen up after a bit. The biggest issue I have found is how big are you across the chest area and hence across the back.

5'10" and 3/4" and 255. Wear a size 42 pants and all my weight is centered around my torso. I fit in the car well. I am like a fat guy in a soup can. I have found that the seats have molded to my posterior very well.



That's me on the left and my beautiful wife of 12 years on the right. Are vehicle tends to lean to the left just a bit until I load her luggage in on the right hand side of the trunk and it all evens out

Good luck.

Also I have yet to see a skinny cow out there....so the leather in my opinion is made to be stretched
