they look scruffy in my opinion. i have been looking for soem aftermarket pedals though so i am glad that there is a market- i just cant seem to stretch across- probably because i am six foot 4 and my legs are more bent than the average person when driving.

Yep at 6'4" you wear a Speedy... being 5' 7" I do not have the problem. The pic I posted is from a "mule"... the hearsay is that the finished product will be better quality cut via laser. Cheers

this could be the answer to techieboys prays

I'm only size 10-11 feet, but I found I could quite comfortably position my foot between both pedals and operate both without risk of slipping off the brake. The biggest change for me was I found that the throttle pedal can be removed and the angle of the pedal on the spindle can be altered. About half an hour of fiddling and driving later and the throttle is exactly level with the brake pedal when there is mild pressure on the brake, so it's now dead easy to blip on the downchange

a guide on this would be good

I'm 6'4" and I've never had any problem. In fact it's the easiest car I've ever driven to h&t in. More practice required perhaps*? or have you been h&ting for some time and therefore you just need to adjust your technique?

(* no offence meant but for most people the VX is the first car that they've ever "needed" to do this with - I have no idea what your background is).

[davemate]

i practiced my my suzuki truck because i could cope with the speed needed to do it in the vx. i would happily admit that i do not really know what i am doing, when i have achived a blip on the throttle on the downchange the difference in smoothness and breaking efficiency is really apparent. any basic hints would be greatfulyl recieved- if anyone has a book they can reccomend on racing theory that would be excellent.

Although i do need to be sat as far back in the seat as poss.

I'll try and do something after work this evening.

It may be you don't need it though. I never had any luck twisting my foot around and using my heel (which i'd always imagined was what you were supposed to do - and what i'd seen on youtube ), so I just use the ball of my foot spread between both pedals. You can position quite a big area of your foot on the brake so there isn't any danger of your foot slipping off. It's the first car I've actually done H+T on, but I have tried on others since with no success... The VX220 just seemed so much easier, but I guess it's practice.

This pics shown by monique is a bad modified pics by myself and not the final result (except the throtle pedal which is real on this pics but prototype1).

Here after is CAD picture which shown new design choosen by member. You can compare with OEM pedal in red.

Just tell here if interrested as 23 others Sweeden members and german member too.



Prototype2 is manufacturing now and pics should be ready at the end of may for this group buy

Tat - they look great imho one quick question - do these use the same mounting holes as the standard pedals? i.e. unscrew the existing pedals and screw these on as direct replacements?

That 's the meaning of course.

Direct replacement ! Yes these use the same mounting holes as standard of course !

In the same time, the design is developped to help the technic which consist to throtle between gear changing.

Looks good Thierry. Count me in, when they are ready!

By the way, pedals and screw these on as direct replacements AND small plastic bumper too (not necessary to add it or to buy new. So not delivery with it)
