Default finally finished

So I finally finished drilling the brake pedal.
I used a titanium drill and it was much better.
Unfortunately my drill died on me (from abuse I guess) even though it was brand new !!!.

Here is a picture of my Carnewal pedals

Question? Does the addition of the aluminum pedals aid with heel and toe? I find it very difficult with the standerd pedals...TIA

On the contrary I found the stock pedals much easier to heel-toe downshift than aftermarket pedals. My driving shoes tended to get hung up sometimes on the aftermarket pedals. Bottom line, the plain old standard pedals are excellent for heel toe work, especially the way it's taught at PDE.

Mike - personally, I am not "into" the painted rear center console. However, the combination of your console, the gauge rings, and the pedals makes a nice "package" that is a good contrast to the black interior without going "over the top." Your car looks very nice!
