[quote name='93 R1' date='Jul 24 2005, 10:47 PM']I understand staggered wheel setups. I was refering to the 8.8" width and 11.25" width. Why not just go to a 9" in the front and a 11.5" out back? Why the wierd ass widths?

Ahhh, I'm guessing that's because the wheels are probably metric.

Edit:How did I not see Brandon's post? oh well great minds and all that.

8.8 = 223.52 mm

11.25 = 285.75 mm



So, they are probably not metric wheels. The probably are optimized for the tire width. Extra wheel width = extra weight = poorer acceleration and braking = heavier suspension = heavier structure = poorer accleration = etc...



I see 2 pedals and a lever, so probably the clutch is on the shifter. Just a guess though.

It's a sequential dog-box, so clutching is only necessary when stopped, so yeah, I would guess that is what the white lever is.

I'm thinking there is a gas pedal that we just cannot see because of the angle.

I'm thinking that this car is so supa dupa awesome you accelerate and brake with your mind.

Pedals

inanimate_object 07-30-2005 05:04 AM

My guess is that Sweet7 is right about the clutch, it's certainly been done before. I'd say the pedals are setup for left footed braking because it looks like heel-toeing would be impossible from that angle.
