possible to change pedal height?
I'm 6'6" and the car is a bit tight. I would like to know if it is possible to adjust the pedals to a lower position. There is a lot of room below the pedals, much more than is needed for them to travel. I can almost stretch my legs out straight if I put my feet below and beyond the pedals, and would like to have these added inches if possible w/o some major hack job on the car. This is a fantastic car and I want to keep it, but I need to adjust something before I go completely lame in my right leg from it. Thanks.

I'm 6'5" and in the quest for more leg room, I put on a smaller steering wheel (330mm), D-shaped with a flat at the bottom, it helped a LOT as far as getting in and out and getting comfortable once you're in there plus it looks nice.
Ben and the Bulletproof boys had a project going to lower the seat by 2" for more headroom awhile back. I don't know what ever happened with it though.
Let me know if you find anything good about pedal height adjustments!

crawl,
I went with an Isotta Nivola DSX for driving and a Modena DSX that I stick on for car shows. www.isotta.com.
Takes about 5 min to change wheels now.
The downside to changing wheels is YOU WILL LOSE YOUR AIRBAG!
To help compensate, I added 4 point harnesses.
Keeping the cruise control is an easy fix.
All in all, it's a $250-$600 mod (price of whatever wheel you choose + adapter hub) which is easily returned to stock, takes less than an hour to do and REALLY adds to the daily drivability of the car IF you are comfortable losing your driver's side airbag.
