RE: My knee hits the turn signal lever
Try tilting your seat back at a larger incline (manual adjustment, not power) and make sure your seat adjustment is 100% lowered. The difference in attitude of your seat may keep your knees away fror the turn signal more.

RE: My knee hits the turn signal lever
Jeeze, you're not even that tall and you have the same problem I have! I'm 16 yrs old, 6'1" and 220lbs. Fit pefectly with the steering tilt at the second to last level up. My seat doesn't have to be that far back, jus high enough to where I can see properly.
The problem I have is that my knees hit the bottom of the dashboard all the time. I measure the length of my shins and it was substantially longer than the average person my size. Thats why I'm very comfortable driving my Mustang, due to the long clutch. I tried driving my dad's MINI cooper S and I kept stalling, because the clutch is less than half the size of the Mustang.
Oh well...the more reason to drive a V8!
I just hope I don't keep growing![&:]

RE: My knee hits the turn signal lever
I'm about 5'11 and when someone moves my seat I have problems getting it back to a comfortable place. Sometimes I'll sit in my car for 5-10 minutes looking for a comfortable position. Just go out there and keep moving the seat until you find the position where you are the most comfortable.

Thanks man, I'm just not used to the power seat, now I have found a pretty good position. By the way man, your car looks freakin' awesome. What body kit is that? Also what mods do you have?
