    Very nice, I like that.

    On the subject of pedals...Has anybody tried the pedals that one fellow sells with the extension on the Gas pedal for heel/toeing...Or 'Toe/Toeing' for me.

        Wonder how'd they be in these cars, seeing as the pedals aren't that far away from eachother...Only when you're using a driving shoe of some sort do they seem far.

            I'm usually just using the main ball of my foot to manage the brake pedal, and blipping with the outside of my foot. If that makes any sense

              I was bustin on you w/ those terms.......


              BUT, try to use the left half of the ball of your foot......and rotate heel towards the go pedal......

                i've been thinking about fabbing something similar to that. i want my dead pedal even with the clutch pedal

                why did you butcher the carpet like that? i was envisioning some slits in the carpet with longer tabs. maybe one of these days i'll get off my butt and do something about it

                  Butcher?.....well I think thats kinda strong, those them thereare fightin words.... I think it coulda been worse! The carpet has to be pulled up to remove some of the styrofoam crap that makes up the oe dead "pedal". My application is mainly for a track car and I was not too concerned about appearance so I rushed a bit., but I still maintain the carpet under the speaker panel and by the rocker....its not flapping around. I guess you could make some neat slits and shit, but I had mine fabbed up so we were tinkering and re tinkering location all the way.
