hi all,

does anybody know if its possible to adjust the vxr8 pedal position or change the pedal plates?

I'm having a hard time heel n toe'ing as the accelerator pedal is a fair way to the right of the brake pedal and recessed a bit too far back.

A long lever and a big workshop vice?

But yes I have the same problem. Accel is quite a bit lower to the floor than the brake.

Doesn't help with the accelerator being a bit too low

Short of changing the pedals, the only way I've found is to toe & heel instead.

Blip with your toe, brake with your heel.

It works...honest.

Ah the old 50's gp driver approach - just as valid.

I'm so used to heel 'n' toe I don't think I can change smile
Easier to sort the pedals biggrin
Shouldn't be too hard just need to have a look at the setup

proper 50s racers like a Maserati 250F have a centre throttle pedal,this is the best set up for heal and toeing,the heal is used on the throttle.I agree it seems impossible to heal and toe on a Monaro as well, anyone fixed this?
