Does anybody else do this?
 

I always run my manual seat back all the way in my 80SC when I exit my car.
A good Porsche mechanic got me doing this years ago. It saves the carpet etc. and gives you more room to get in and out.
Infact I think I would miss my manual seats now that I have this habbit.
Anybody else do this? just curious
Cheers

Yeah, I do. My legs are toooooooo long not to.

I buy 34" inseam pants...of course my drivers seat is all the way back! Permanently!

I wonder if it's cheaper to wear out your seat mechanisim, than your carpet??

I too buy 34" inseam pants, and my seat is always at the last stop. Besides, I like hoping into the car and not have to adjust anything. Once you find that perfect setting you get so use to it that a slight shift can be annoying...to me anyways. I might agree with Doug that wearing out your seat is a good arguement for finding that perfect setting and leaving it be. Hehe...

I wear a 34" inseam pant, I'm 6'2", and I sit very close to the front of the adjustment. If I sit all of the way back, or even a notch up from all of the way back I can hardly get the clutch to the stop, not that it needs to go that far, but with the seat that far back I have a helluva time reaching everything and being comfortable. I've wondered if my seat were somehow adjusted because the driver's and passenger's sides adjust to totally different spots.

But on the subject, I never move the seat if once I get it right.

Neither do I, although the electric seats in the Carrera make life easier for slight adjustments.

I'm 5' 9", wear 30" inseam pants, but run my seat back almost every time. Weird? Not when you have Corbeau Forza seats with aggressive side bolsters, a lowered SC and a physique that doesn't bend as easily/quickly as a few years ago.http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/jump.gif

I just leave the seat all the way back.

I've gotta get in on this: 6', 34" inseam, standard "cowboy" boots or work boots, Seat to point where clutch is fully depressable by me, and I hate adjusting it. Now in the 1/2 ton vinyl bench seat, I just let the whole thing stay all the way back and enjoy the leg room. Besides, the dog has to have a place to hide when the Jerry Jeff starts embarrasing even her!!

I too wear a 30" inseam and drive with the seat pretty far back but I make sure I get the clutch to the floorboard. I like to sit so I can just peer out over the wheel most of the time.
Carpet Vs seat mechanism ? I think if you keep the mechanism lubed it sould last a long long time. It just makes it easier for me anyway to get in and out. And I think I would rather deal with it Vs the carpet. I've seen a few car were the carpet on the kick panel gets all wore out from getting in and out of the car.

I never move my seat unless I have to.

the only part of the seat I move is the back adjust wheel, as I like it slightly reclined, and the mechanism very slowly creeps over time. I have to give it a half turn or so about once every 2 weeks.

The PO always did this and I have continued the tradition. I never kick the door or sidewall area of the car and the area still looks perfect after all those years.

My seat back creeps too. So I do make some adjustment as Nostatic does...glad my old seats have friends.
