Looks nice. Good fabricating skills

What are the advantages of having pedals on the floor VS stock?

 

[mattmullin]

Thanks, the advantages are i was able to move the driver position back about 10" for better weight distribution as well as move the master cylinders to the floor and off of the firewall. So pretty much just for weight distribution and i also shaved about 25 pounds over the stock pedal setup and this setup allowes you to keep your heels planted on the floor while driving aggressivly. Like a go kart. Every little bit counts in a track machine. But i do drive this car often in the summer.

Beautiful..... can't think of anything else. They look great.

With the location of those pedals you must not be very tall. Very nice fab work though and I love the outside the box thinking.

Pretty awesome setup. Gives me more ideas for the racecar.

Bad ass!
What pedals did you use? Running individual master cylinders?

 

[mattmullin]

I'm 5' 10" so pretty average i guess. But dont forget the seat is pushed all the way back the where the floor humps up for the back seats. And i had to extend the steering colomn and i will be movhingthe shifter and hand break later on. But for now i can reach them. I'm also working on some other goodies but i don't want to spill the beans until I have a working unit

Stock master cylinders, and everything else is made by me

25 lbs weight saving? Did not realize stock setup was that heavy.
Will you be using single tank for brake and clutch fluids?

 

[mattmullin]

Yeah, either did I until i actually threw it on the scale, there is a lot less material im this setup nd its mostly aluminum. And yes, there will be one resivoire for the brake and clutch to share

Another question: why have that many adjustment holes on the throttle, but no adjustments on anything else?

 

[mattmullin]

The throttle has already been proven, and i wanted enough adjustment so that i wouldn't have an issue with using any other throttle bodies if i choose to. When i did the math on the break and clutch setup the holes i drilled where the outcome. So im starting with where itnis at and i will make any changes if need be. Butthey should be good where they are. Key word being should. But ill have the car back together in a few weeks or so, then i will known if everything works. Till then, it jus looks cool hahaha
