Thread: Anybody have pedal mods for tall people?

  1. #1

    Default Anybody have pedal mods for tall people?

    I'm considering getting a Miata (NC), but I just don't have enough leg room. I know there are accelerator and dead pedal mods for tall people. I'm hoping somebody around DFW has made those mods and I can sit in your car and see how it feels.

    Anyone?

    Thanks.

    I would be looking into people with custom mounted race seats instead. Should buy you more space than anything you could do with pedals.

    I had an NC, where I did cut down the dead pedal for some extra leg room. Worked well, and it's not hard to do.

    Take out the dead pedal and add a spacer to the accelerator pedal to angle it down more. Those two things alone make it feel huge. You can also unhook the center strap on the seat bottom and add a few washers to the front seat bolts for a better seat angle and lower your ass a little.

    Awesome! Thanks! I also live in the land of Gar (south part, specifically). Would you be available to meet up tomorrow or Sunday? Any time after about 10:00 Saturday or noon Sunday works for me. You pick the place.

    I think I have my profile set up such that you can email me. Please do so if you want to exchange contact info.

    Thanks again.
