Raising gas pedal

[lancesir]

Aside from getting a new set of pedals, is there anything we can install to raise the stock gas pedal? The stock gas pedal is rather deep and it's hard for me to blip the throttle when trying to use the side of my foot in a heel toe.

wear a bigger shoe on your right foot :bana2

LOL

OK in all seriousness, it sounds like you guys do not have your seat and/or telescoping/adjustable steering wheel set correctly. You should be able to find a way to blip the gas with no problems.

I have no issues with mine. It's perfectly comfortable.

me too but then I am fairly tall with long legs so I can easly reach my pedals.

I'm 5'9"ish, no issues?

no issue, just saying its a bit deeper than other cars ive driven

Agreed with it being deeper. Also when "blipping" sometimes I hit the side of the centre console lol. Maybe its because I'm wearing relatively wide skate shoes.

my knees can't fit under the steering wheel box area

how do all you other tall folks do it (even at the highest steering wheel setting + lowest furthest seat)

Depending on the year of your 3 the pedals are oriented differently. At least that's what Patrick and I found. The pedals in the '07 are much closer together and I have a hard time blipping too sometimes.
