It's by far the most cost-effective improvement of my car

Details are on this page.

It makes the Fat Foot method a lot easier.

I found my accelerator pedal to low, so I adjusted it up towards the brake. Just make sure the accelerator peddle actuates throttle to the "full on" position.

As you can see, I have the brake pedal adjusted to be in one plane with the throttle. Since this caused the above mentioned problem with the brake lights, my mechanic welded a longer screw to the pedal (if I remember correctly).
Futhermore I have a wodden block under the throttle pedal and with the Sparco pedals it is easy to adjust the position of the pedals relative to each other.
Heeling and toeing became second nature after those mods!

Here are the pedals that I constructed myself. I also use the "fat foot" method so depending on how you atach them you can get vary the distance between left side gas pedal and right side brake. I have calculated that distance to be around 2.0 cm minimum. Brake pedal is curved and a bit longer so you dont need to lift your heel from the floor

My steering wheel is TechArt 340mm airbag model special ordered with Carbon, red interior stiching, full leather and logo delete option so I can stick on the Porsche crest. They also make a 320mm model which in our cars would obstruct the tach. The 340mm is simply perfect in size and the feel/ construction is simply outstanding. For me this is the best wheel in the market bar none and cannot be confused with the one from AJ Usa or the raid and such. As you can see on the side it is very thick, so thick that you cannot wrap your fingers around the wheel, but you hold it with a full grip which makes it a joy to work with.
Now if you asked me where I bought it , I got it directly from TechArt when I was in Europe and its not cheap...but for me worth every penny.

Hope that helps

The steering column was absolutely essential for me. The steering wheel sits quite low and is close to the dash. Elevating it a bit and getting it closer to driver made all the difference between a car you can cruise in and a car you can really drive
