Accelerator pedal position - Iceman299 - 23-01-2015
Having just got my old hdi back, i realised how closer the pedal feels compared to the last hdi i had. Could there be any explanation?

probably just been adjusted up, or your old one had a worn / stretched cable
RE: Accelerator pedal position - luke89 - 24-01-2015
Are all the pedals adjustable? I'd love to move mine an inch further back.

You and me both!

Yep could just be a new cable

Yes, your seat is a notch further forward in this one.

Very funny :p
To be honest i think it's because i was driving the celica for a few days and got used to a proper seat/pedal position lol not a far away clutch when depressed and a close accelerator, crappy things!
RE: Accelerator pedal position - Toms306 - 24-01-2015
Lol, possibly, 306 driving position isn't the best! Always wonder how I'm almost kneeing myself in the face letting the clutch out when I first get back in a 306 after something newer.
RE: Accelerator pedal position - Iceman299 - 24-01-2015
Haha. I just get a sore right ankle for having to pivot my right foot so far back. Im still enjoying having it back, although the clutch is totally gone now; noisy as anything and can just about get 5th gear!

If I move my seat back to a comfortable position I feel miles away from the wheel and gear stick.

I find the seating position alright, must mean I'm out of proportion
RE: Accelerator pedal position - Iceman299 - 24-01-2015
For me the clutch presses in too far which makes accelerator too close. If im being picky, the seat doesn't lower enough either lol
RE: Accelerator pedal position - Toms306 - 25-01-2015
I want the seat to raise a bit more...so maybe a higher roof as well lol. One of the things I've noticed about the seating position in cars I prefer is my knees are at right angles near enough. In the 306 they're more like 75 degrees which is a lot more awkward, and then to have the wheel in a sensible position I end up catching my knees trying to steer lol.
The clutch doesn't push far enough imo, getting used to hydro clutches then jumping in the 306 I want twice as much travel on the pedal!
RE: Accelerator pedal position - Iceman299 - 25-01-2015
I prefer to be sat as close to the floor as possible, like in an Elise lol
RE: Accelerator pedal position - Toms306 - 25-01-2015
Lol, I prefer 4x4 driving position. My Uncle had a Marcos and you were basically sat on the floor in that lol, didn't like it!
RE: Accelerator pedal position - THE_Liam - 25-01-2015
I always liked the 306 driving position.

I lower the seat to the lowest position even when i drove my father in law's Vogue lol

Unless there is something wrong with my car, I found that the clutch travel was great in the 306, none of that leg lifting business. Although pedal position is another thing.
Coming from a Rover 200, this clutch is a dream!
