I need a new drivers seat... It does NOT fit my figure...
At first I loved how the seat fit me.... well something happend I guess... couldn't really tell you but, now the seat is not fitting me propperly at all... I can NOT stay comfortable in it. It's driving me crazy, I'm constantly adjusting the seat and if you saw me driving you would probably be like wtf is that person doing..lol I'm 6'1" 140lbs, I need something that supports me better... To me I am swimming in the seat, I don't have enough "mass" to actually fill the seat out...
Does anyone know of a good aftermarket seat that is nice fitting and also comfortable on long trips... I drive at LEAST 2 hours to and from work, so comfort is a must, After I get out of the car I have to lay down because my body is aching in pain...
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks, :-)

oppies...
Sorry about that, thought I mentioned it in my first post...
I have an 03' rex.
About gaining weight...lol
I EAT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, but gain nothing. Not possible...lol
It's like I am swimming in the seat, plus it does not offer me lumbar support... I try driving with the seat back, try it forward, higher with the seat back, lower with it up vise versa... nothing, when I am done driving my hands hurts, my wrists hurt, and my back hurts... I mainly want to find a seat that is adjustable but also "holds" you. I am not going to be autocrossing my car... so I don't think I need a seat completly geared for that...
I am not familar with the different seats out there, which are comfortable and which are strictly "race" seats...etc I know that I have seen that most seat do NOT just bolt in... is this true or only for the true race seats?
Thanks :-)

Dude, 6'1" and 140? You're a friggin beanpole!
Call around your local area and find a shop that has seats in stock, go in and get a feel for 'em. sit in 'em sway from side to side, etc. That'll be the best way for you to find out what seat is best for you.
Personal recommendation is to pick up one thats just a *bit* bigger then what you deem is a snug fit, just in case a purdy lady with good birthin' hips wants to drive.

Isnt the 03 seat the same as the 02 seat?
If thats so, then try the 04 seat and see how it feels (go to a dealer and check it out)
Also, check and see if a club member in your area has some JDM seats or aftermarket seats in their car you can sit in to see how you like them...

Go to the gym and do lots of weights but no cardio. Drink lots of beer, at least 12 a day on weekends and as much as you can during the week while still being able to function. Eat lots of junk food, Double Whoppers with Cheese should do the trick but make sure the junk food is high in protein or else going to the gym is a waste of time. Do this for a month and see how much weight you put on.

go find a shop and test fit some aftermarket seats. You'll most likely want reclinable but I'm sure you'll be able to find something with a good fit.

Maybe the seat will fit better once the cold weather sets in and you have to wear those bulky coats...
