What do you guys suggest for moving the pedals closer?
I want to sit a little more upright but then I am little too close the the wheel.... I'd like to move the pedals towards the seat a little and in the process get the brake and gas pedals in a better position for heel toe. Anyone here tackle this already? |

I modified my gas pedal a little bit a while back, and I have some crappy pics of it. I remember posting on ls1.com about how i made the spacer.
it was a nylon spacer that i got from lowes, probably 1/4 or 3/8" OD and hollow so the throttle cable can go through it. I cut a slit in it so i can put the cable through, (so looking at the side of the spacer it looked like a "C") and rounded one of the ends so I can force it into the cup thing that held onto the stopper at the end of the throttle cable at the top of the gas pedal assembly. What that achieved was, to take up some of the space of the cable and lifted the gase pedal by that amount roughly. I also put a g2 pedal cover on the gas pedal. I never got around to installing them on the brake and clutch, plus i'm not too thrilled with the design of the attachment on those pedals (i don't drive with the ball of my foot on the center of the pedals at all times - and never on the clutch, and i didnt feel it was mounted well enough to drive like that). Anyways, the gas pedal cover raised the pedal, and extended it towards the brake. i still need to raise it more to fit my liking, but I am able to heel/toe with this setup. honestly, its probably pretty close to where it needs to be (or at least i learned it this way), since the brake pedal depresses to a point that is about level with the gas during moderate braking. I've done heavy braking at turn 10 at beaverun and my pedal was actually too high up, as i ended up revving the motor more than I wanted since i was so hard into the brakes there.
