I need more leg room, it feels like I'm hugging the steering wheel... I'm 6'7.. is there anything I can do? How much would it cost to have the seat mounts moved back a little?

EDIT: I took the driver's seat out it looks like I could swap the seat track off and use one from another car, is this possible?
