    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Glad to hear the vent is removeable or at least alterable. Definitely going to look into that this spring.

    And for the steering collar, I seem to hit it when I keep my heel in one spot and tip my foot back and forth. I can adjust my habits to deal with it. I'm 6'1" and 220. I have long legs and would like to push the seat back further but the steering wheel only telescopes so far so I have to compromise with seat position a little.

    This is my biggest complaint as well. With the seat adjusted so it is comfortable for my legs, the steering wheel becomes too far. (The ideal steering wheel position is for the top of the rim to come up to your wrists when you have your arms fully extended.)

    I can't ever remember hitting the column but I use only my toes (or the end of my shoe) to hit the gas and then pivot my foot without moving the heel of my shoe off the mat when I hit the brake.

    Thanks for getting my attention to this. I'll have to get down there and check it out now, as I also seem to have too many feet and pedals for the available space.

    Oh, and Oz: ...Sometimes you aren't such a freaking troll after all. Sometimes.
