pedal oddities

[Druro]

I"ve just picked up my new stang and boy do i love it. Beats the MX-6 i owned hands down. i do have a concern though.

basically, my gas pedal is set well back from the brake and clutch. it makes it almost impossible to do heel-toe driving. is this normal? if it is, is there anyway to adjust this? i'd like to bring it up more inline with the others. it's set about 4-6 inchs closer to the firewall then the others.

Go to www.mustangworld.com they show you how to do it.

Here's the exact link. It's easy, takes about 10 minutes. I did it and I found the pedal position MUCH more comfortable.

10 minutes, you must be a midget gymnast or something. it took me about 10 hours. that thing is a bitch to get to.

does anyone know how to remove the pedal completely? i couldn't disconnect the cable from it to remove it.

It's all about position, my friend.

actually, i have had the best luck when doing that, but in addition, i take out the driver's seat.

I'm too lazy to take out the seat, lol. I'll sit upside down and let the blood rush to my head all day, i don't care, more blood flow equals more knowledge in my book.

What kind of pedals did you get and how long was the install?

i got bullitt pedals, i think my wife bought them from stangnet partshopper (because i also got a stangnet t-shirt). it took about 2.5 hours i'd guess. but i did redo the mustangworld.com gas pedal mod that is being talked about above at the same time.
