OK... I was thinking about it..
Have you EVER... Gotten into a 914 as a passenger... and moved the seat forward? Doesn't make much sense does it.... If for some reason you have..., why? |

Because passengers don't like flailing around in a high-performance car any more than drivers do - maybe less. Drivers get a wheel to hang on to, and a brake pedal. And either a dead pedal or a bit of wheel well to brace with the left foot.
Early 914 seats don't have much in the way of deep bolsters for lateral support, and the non-retractable belts were such a PITA to adjust that they were almost never as tight as you'd like. Being slammed against loose belts under hard braking just isn't fun. There aren't even good door handholds. |

Because most setting over there were like how do you work these things and what this funny thing on the floor,,and you basically have to strap them in ...which is OK if its my smoke n hot wife in a short skirt.
