Thanks, John. The booster definitely complicated your engineering, but the results look great.
On the belly room, I wish there was a way to take the seats back further for us tall drivers (even more than the 3" gained with non-stock seats), but it looks like there's no way without really hacking up the car. The back wall gets in the way. If you cut on the back wall, you'd lose your convertible top, have to move the gas tank to the trunk, have to chop on the deck lid, etc. 58Mike moved his firewall forward, but that would probably only help on the leg room, not belly room. So again, it looks like no tilt for the C1s.

Charles,
I did consider the hydroboost, but ended up going with a standard booster anyway since the hydroboost was an unknown to me. Since then, a friend has done a hydroboost setup and it works really nice.
If I had it to do again, I might give the unit a closer look.
