Default Has anyone extended all the pedals?

I like to sit a bit further back since it gives me personally a better feel for the pcar. Im also looking to buy a cup SW and that sits back a couple of inches.
Anyone know of a way to extend the pedals?
Thanks in advance.

the gas has a threaded screw that can be extended, it is behind the pedal.

I think the brake also has that same adjustment. I am unsure if the clutch has that adjustment.

Someone once sent me an email about pills that would accomplish that, but my wife tells me my pedals are fine the way they are....

HTH.

For the gas pedal, you can get a used Wings pedal (discontinued) or a new one from Rennline.

For brake & clutch, I think your only real option is to make some sort of pedal blocks. I did this in our e36 race car after failing to find anything commercially available. I just bought a huge chunk of plastic from www.mcmaster.com, cut it with a hack saw to the right size, drilled holes everywhere to make it lightweight, screwed it to the pedals, then screwed new pedal covers to it. Made it like 1.5" or 2" thick. Or just use cheap wood for this, but I trusted plastic more.

TheOtherEric's post got me thinking, do you want the pedals wider, or closer to the front seat. both are "extensions" just in different axis.

I assume closer to the front seat since you said you like the seat back. I guess depending on how far back you may need to put a block as Eric mentions.

For a wider gas pedal I got the aluminum ones from a GB a few years ago that I love. http://www.ultimatepedals.com/catalo...493274f0e779f4

I got the frosted anti-slip without the rubber inserts, work great, even with a little water on the bottom of the shoes.

the gas definitely has a screw, but depending on how far back you want to go, you may run out of adjustment and need additional "extension, and have to do the block method in conjunction with the screw adjustment.
