Default seat adjustments for tall guy

I am 6'6" and get leg fatigue over long trips because I get no thigh support in my 93 ex. I realize I might be a bit taller than the average Japanese person... does anyone have a suggestion? Are there nice 6-way power seats out there?

funny that you mention that I have the same problem. I am 6'6" and I have a 91 accord coupe. I am currently looking at tearing out the current interior and buiyn seats from a 5 series BMW. if thats the route I end out takin It's ganna be a lot of $$$$ and work. If you find another cheaper eiser better solution I would always like to hear it but thats the best one I could come up with.

I have found nothing so far, and as you can see nobody has had any input for me. I think tall people must have given up on hondas a while ago...
As for replacing the seat with BMW seats, that would make me nervous. Will you have to drill new holes to attach the seat? If so, you might be affecting the safety of the car; in an accident, bolts might be in places not designed to take the strain... I would do a little research if I were you.
