Default Adjusted my clutch travel

Well I have had my S for around 4 months now and always found the clutch a little high and not in line with the other pedals, there was also alot of freeplay before if engaging the clutch. It just made driving the S slow and smooth a bit tricky. Well I decided to adjust the push rod and thread on the clutch to lowerr it and reduce play. Well I cant believe what a difference its made, changing is so much easier now and the biting point although mechanically is in the same place is now lower and just feels right. I would highly recommend doing this if your have the same thought as me.

Getting the brake height right for you is also important if you do the heel+toe thing

Yup, same way as the clutch.

You have to get good and hanging inverted in the drivers seat

IIRC Theres a flat on the brake rod, and a nut.
Slack it off and turn the whole push rod gently, resecure the lock nut.

access is restrictive, I felt like a contortionist at one point laying on my back in the footwell with a spanner. once the nuts have been released though you can just use your fingers.

Might be a silly question, but whers the pushrod for the brake? in the cabin or in the engine bay? I would love to raise mine a little

im pretty sure it's under the dash at the top of the pedal...

ime brake pedals shouldnt need adjustment, clutch pedal is the one that needs adjustment to be inline with the brake pedal...
