Actually, the driver position is mostly fine. Maybe a little higher than I&#8217;d like, but that gives me enough pedal clearance. I can barely reach the steering wheel, which is easily fixed with the steering wheel spacer the car came with. I think the original builder was taller than the previous owner. Unfortunately, that does nothing for the shifter. It&#8217;s pretty hard to reach in 1,3,5. I&#8217;m thinking I should buy some cheap ebay shifter and bend it. Open to advice from Josh or any other E30 people reading. (I don&#8217;t really care whether it&#8217;s a &#8220;short&#8221; shifter or not, except that short will probably also make it easier to reach).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fire suppression finally installed.
