adjusting gas pedal

hi,
my gas pedal seems a little bit too deep down, which makes it harder to heel-toe.
does anyone know how to adjust it?

thanks

I've never really seen that as a problem before but maybve you could pull of the pedal assembly and put washers over the studs to give the illusion of adjusting the pedals.


...or hey maybe tie a block to it, lol

I think thier all like that in stock form (for safety reasons I believe)....

best thing to do, I think would put some pedal covers over and see if you can get one with a thick gas and thin brake...

just don't heel toe on the street...

was it always like that or just recently it happened?
if it was always like that then either that is the way it is supposed to be, or you likely have the wrong throttle cable in there or it id kinked or something along those lines

brake and clutch are always higher up than the gas...this is what pedal covers do, they balance out the difference, ur car is normal

k cool great.
i just thought the clutch would normally be a little bit lower than the brake, and the throttle would be about the same as the clutch. well i'll take a look at the pedal cover then
