How to adjust pedal position?

gtzero · 03-16-2004

Hi All,

I've been living with this but since there's so much technical knowledge here, I thought I'd throw this out here and see what comes back.

My brake and clutch pedal are level with each other. But I feel my accelerator is too low. I drive pretty aggressively and love to heel and toe and it is difficult with the accelerator at it's current position.

Is there a way to raise my accelerator pedal?
Or lower my brake pedal?

I'm running a 2.4L with FI if that makes any difference.

I'm almost at the point of strapping a block of wood to the pedal to see if that works. But that's so not right. I feel about 3/8 to 1/2 inch should do it.

Thanks for any suggestions

you could get a ricer alli dressup kit and just use the one for that pedal as they are about 3/8 " thick
if you can stand the jokes about thr boy racer addons

What about taking the gas pedal linkage out (or try it on a spare), put it in a vise, then heat and bend the arm out to the distance you want?
