This sounds nuts. But has anyone ever converged the pedal placement to come from the floor on an FD, "like most race cars". God i would spend good money for that conversion..sounds like a lot of fab work. Ok, just wondering. Thanks a lot!!

um this is My post. IM not sure why it was posted under sirrelix.

 

the point being?



Do you know WHY you see pedal box setups like that in race cars?

 

both my bugs have em like that. my guess its cause, engines in the back.

 

Why is it?



I mean...here you can see that its not just rear engine cars.

 

Floor mounted pedals are a pain in the hole - you can't rest your foot behind the clutch. If I was doing my car again I'd probably fork out for a top mounted one for this reason.

looks like a huge waste of money and aggravation to me for a street car.

 

i dont rest my foot behind the clutch, that just sounds silly, rest it next to it.

 

haha u put the gas pedal "IN" your shoe

 

Man try driving a stupid porsche around after driving your rx7, youll quickly realize how annoying the floor mounted pedals are. Unless you're constantly shifting and adjusting your pressur eon the pedals, its just a stupid arrangement.



I can understand that setup for serious road races and rallies cause youre constantly changing your pedal pressures with your feet, but driving it on the street sucks.



thats one reason i hate driving customers porsche's.
