What's the max seat mod for big people?
see the s2k is my top 5 car right now, but i don't fit in one, i'm 6'3 and 290 pounds, and long in the legs, i'm in the process of losing weight, but i still doubt i'll fit at 240 pounds, so what can i do? is there a thin seat that is also wide enough that will fit in the s2k?
What have you guys done? i'm wondering. Let me know, pics would be good too.

I know a cop with an S2000. He is at least 6' 4". He is buff, so he is wide through the chest and shoulders. His legs are not extra long. He has no trouble fitting in his; so it can be done'

I'm 5'11" and 225 and if I feel a little tight in the S2000. If I was much bigger, I don't think I'd be very comfortable. I have a few friends that are taller than me, but a lot thinner and they don't feel very comfortable in the S2000. I think it really depends on the build and comfort level of the person. Some people really don't like the tight fit of the S2000.

I'm 6'2" and weigh about 200#s. I wish I could say that I fit perfectly... Unfortunately, for me, the car is a little tight. Once I "contort" myself into the cockpit, it feels comfortable. I have found that when the top is down, entering and exiting is much easier.. Like you, I'm also long legged. When driving the car, I often bang my knee off the steering wheel while shifting. Since the "S" doesn't have an adjustable steering wheel, heal-toe shifting is nearly impossible for us long leggers... But I love driving the car so much...I'm willing to to accept a few trade offs.
I should also mention that the "S" isn't my only car. So when I do actually drive it, it's usually for a pleasure cruise. So the fact that I don't quite fit, doesn't bother me. However, if you intend to use this car as a daily driver, you may want to think long and hard about choosing it. I feel even with the seat mod, you may get sick & tired of contorting into and out of the car on a daily basis.

This car actually has much more room than you'd expect for something it's size...

keep in mind that the 04+ models are suppose to offer more room on the interior. I know they made more shoulder and elbow room by modifying the door panels and I've also heard that there is 3" more in legroom.
