My 33 came with Razo pedal covers from the dealer but I found myself blipping the accelerator when I was only trying to brake (not good!!) It was happening because the accelerator had this big triangular side that came out too close to the break. I ripped them out and now running with the stock pedals.

Two questions:

1) What brand(s), style of pedal covers have ppl got? names and/or links will suffice... but pics would be kool :rolleyes: Also, where to buy them? the local supercheap and autobarn don't have much choice. There's some on ebay but.. I'd like to be able to see more detailed pics/in real life before buying something like this.

2) My clutch pedal is set further back than the brake/accelerator pedals. If I'm seated so that I'm comfy for the brake/acc pedals then I sometimes can't clutch as easily/far as I'd like.. If i'm seated well for clutching, my legs cramp up after a while cos I'm too close to the brake/acc pedals. What can I do?

Your seating position shouldn't be dependant on where the pedals sit, it should be based on the distance where you can put your foot on the floor beneath the pedals and still have your leg bent a bit.

But that said, you can adjust the clutch position to make it more similar to the rest of the pedals.

The reason why some of them have bits that come out near the brake is to make "heel and toeing" easier.

I dont run aftermarket pedals. I find factory pedals good enough

try sitting abit closer, I adjust my seating position in relation to the clutch as your left leg is the one that will get tired as you often have to hold it on the floor, after a while you should get used to the new position..

midnight: Been driving the car two weeks now set up like so: I've based my seating position entirely on the clutch so I'm seated so that my leg is about 90-95% extended when I've got the clutch all the way in, as I don't believe I should have to stretch at all to fully clutch, just be comfortably extended. In this position my acc/brake legs are both half bent all the time (sux), much more than the clutch leg.

xRHETTx: Yeah @ heel, toe, I know.. I was just doing it unintentionally on ocassion. I figure having to reach a little further to accelerate on purpose to heel/toe is better than revving up by mistake and possibly jumping up someone's boot.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
