I share a 997 with someone who is 5'2" and they find the car very uncomfortable to drive as they are too close to the steering wheel. I would like to get the peddles modified or some other modification to allow them to drive the car more comfortably.

Could anyone recommend a garage or specialist that you would trust to undertake this type of custom work. I'm well aware of the safety implications and that it may not be cheap but would still like to see what options there are out there. (no platform shoes jokes please)

Why not get a smaller steering wheel that sits closer ?

I dont get it.

You'd spend money to get some specialist to carry out some work.. but what happens when you want to drive?

Unless its something permanent you would need a specialist.. who drives the car the most you or the person you share with?

I recall many years ago when Marcos were in production that the seat was fixed and you adjusted your driving position by turning a small wheel which physically moved the pedal box towards or away from the driver.
I would image to have something like that manufactured, however, would be extremely costly and would also likely make the car less attractive come sale time.
