Can the 1lz seat be made to go back farther since it doesn't have the heated ventilation? How much does pulling fuse help legroom? Any other modifications than can be done?

My seat goes back until it hits the bulkhead behind it. Not sure what you're hoping for.

Not sure what fuse you mean, but if you're willing to be careful you can unplug the sensor that stops the seat when it hits, and that'll allow you to pick up another inch or two.

I don't think 1LZ would be any different than 3LZ, but anything's possible, given it lacks the ventilation as you note.

Does it really gain an inch or two?

If so I might have to try that

Ok thanks ! I should have said sensor. I didn't know if 1lz seats would go back even farther once sensor was unplugged?

Interesting topic. Every once in awhile, someone posts a topic that hasn't been covered 50 times before.
