yeah that would probably be the best option for a road car but i want as much space in the engine bay as possible so that's why i chose a full box for mounting inside the car, and i went for cylinders in front of the box, i also knew i would have to cut out some of the floor to fit it but that's how i wanted it.

have you got any pics? did you move your seat back?
im wanting more room in the engine bay, just didnt think any of the pedal boxs looked for good for the footwell of the R.
im probably going to use these seat mounts http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=78_81&products_id=15462 so can move the seat back a bit, would rather use a full pedal box inside the car.

I am just doing my trial fit just now to get the positions right but yeah the seat is going back a bit, i am using an alloy extension on the steering column to move the steering wheel back, the column is now about 25mm lower and the back of the dashboard is now about 40mm lower so i can still see the instruments!
It's an OBP track-pro pedal box that i'm using

You'll have trouble insureing the car if you confess to doing this too, which i know does'nt matter to some but will others.

I had looked into this myself and decided that a pedal box was not good for me as it will put the pedals further backwards. That would mean putting the seat, steering wheel and gear lever backwards. I race with my knees almost straight and steering wheel just around 40cm away from my chest (using spacers and deep dish wheel). The gear lever is in original position and i can just reach putting it in 1st gear on tight corners (bare in mind that my back would be stuck to the seat with a 6point seatbelt) .
I will never compromise my driving position so i ditched the idea and went for a dual master cylinder in the engine bay attached the the existing brake pedal.
