Found the right driving position!

For the longest time I've been searching for the perfect driving position. Previously, shifting 4th to 5th was awkward (made worse by my stiff SSK and short ZHP shift knob which is a situation I'm remedying separately). Today I found a driving position that solved this issue and improved shifting, steering, and overall enjoyment. It really transformed the car for me so I thought I'd post!

If anyone else feels that using the shifter feels awkward especially from 4th to 5th, here's what I would suggest.
1. First, position yourself for optimum shifting comfort. For me I had to raise my seat up, raise bottom lip up, and bring it forward.
2. Adjust your seat for access to the pedals, without losing shifting comfort.
3. Adjust your steering wheel. For me I like to have an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees.
4. Find some curvy roads and test it out.
5. (optional) If you have memory seats, store it to memory by pressing M and then a number from 1-3.
6. Profit
