Thats not bad, means you can position your drivers seat further back if you extend the steering column, look how far back the seats are in a citroen c4 rally car.

Jeezus, think about the number of other things you'd need to move backwards!

Horrendous and crazy idea IMO.

But I think Nick's just being a perv.

Indeed, you'd have to move all the switch gear, then the shifter housing (in my case change to cable as well). A lot of stuff to shift about.

I only found them through lookking for a bias valve. They do do bias peddle boxes that fit in the OE way as well.

but then you can have a cool switch panel on a bit of carbon fibre sheet  :laugh:

plus the weight savings by removing servo and oem pedal box from the drivers side of the car
plus moving the weight of the driver backwards
plus a nicer seating/pedal position

its definitely worth the effort

A word of warning - someone I know with one of these compbrake boxes in his mk2 vr broke it when braking hard from 100mph the other day.  :undecided: Apparently theres only a few spot-welds holding the box together.  :rolleyes:

So if you get one, beef up the welding before putting it in! (He has done this now and is very satisfied with it  :cool:)
