Default 6'8 340 pounds

Just got a 2005 S4 Audi V8

Its an absoloutley amazing piece of well engineered german product.

The only issue is my size, the comfort I can sacrifice, but im having issues with the acceleration pedal and the center console.

If anybody knows of a website/shop where I could get custom seat rails, either to lower the seat/make the seat go back more than factory standard can.

Im not trading this car in.....its stupid retarded amazing handles like a beast and is more sexy than sexy.

Any solutions would be much appreciated.

(Im on the verge of losing about 100 pounds, this should help the girth factor out a little but, but height is still an issue regardless)

That's a tough problem to solve man, might need some custom fabbed seats/rails. I don't know of any aftermarket.

You might want to consider an S6, they are wicked fast. They're expensive though, if that's too much for your wallet you can pick up a 2003 RS6 for high 30's. That's 450hp twin turbo V8...stock!! Chip that beast and talk about some mad power.

How expensive would this operation be at most?

I'm not sure how much further back you'll be able to go even with custom rails. If you put the front all the way back it almost hits the back seats as it is. There's only about another inch or two clearance. Maybe you should just remove the front seat and drive from the back
