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!!

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

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.

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.
