The front wheel drive bit is wierd because, now that you mention it, the Sentra I've driven had plenty of room. It must mostly apply to Japanese cars because I've never had a problem in a FR BMW. However, I too require a spacer in a 240sx.Nismo_Freak wrote:It is TONS easier to do in a FWD car like the SE-R or the Hondas.
The interior is less conforming and more open to bodily movement.
I can't do it by swinging my foot out on a stock 240, I have to have a spacer on the steering wheel to give me room.
how can I find information on doing this? Cause I do like touchy brakes that you barely have to press downInsanityInc wrote:Your brake MC could need adjustment.
Basically you just spin the rod going to your MC, but you have to be careful not to block the compensating port (if you've blocked it, the pedal will get very hard after you drive the car for a while, and possibly keep the brakes engaged a bit and it will feel floppy when it's cold out).naed240sx wrote:how can I find information on doing this?

I think Nismo Freak's point was that a FF car does not have a drive shaft tunnel, and therefore has more cabin room. Any car with a driveshaft typically has a larger center console to make room for it, which means less room for your leg.naed240sx wrote:why would ff or fr have any difference in ability to heel-toe? The only things that matter are placement of pedals and sensitivity of pedals. Drivetrain is unrelated.
the transmission is not in the way in a FF layout, thats why there is alot more room. the linkage takes up an incredibly small space copared to the trans in a FR car.Lsnaple wrote:even in a FF, that place is still taken up with the linkage and transmission **** ( not exactly sure how to put all of this, ive only owned one FF and 3 FR) . ive also found that while driving a FF i seem to be sitting at a higher center of gravity, as opposed to all FR that ive driven or riden in ive been much lower to the chassis so the angles of your legs are much different. at least, it seems that way to me.
Uh.... they're converse all-stars. I think they've been making those since 1917.naed240sx wrote:whoa are those like the same shoes that that guy was wearing in the fast and the furious? Whered you find em?
I didnt know you were an animal trainer. We should all take lessons!EZcheese15 wrote:I think it has more to do with the fact that some people are slightly pigeon-footed, while others are slightly crow-footed. I am slightly crow-footed, so it is much easier for me to have my heel on the brake, toe on the accelerator. Somebody that was slightly pigeon-footed would find it easier the other way around.
Well, on the street, I drive with my seat all the way back. So I can't put it back any further.2BN_S13 wrote: I didnt know you were an animal trainer. We should all take lessons!
Seriously, If you take off the lower panel down below the steering wheel and you put your seat back a little more, you can move a little easier and true heel-toe is not that hard. I think alot of us are just afraid to drive in the "chill" position. Most cars are made for people of a certain "legs-to-chest" ratio, and that decides where your knees are. I find that the proper set up of your seat really allows you to drive the best way you can.
