seriously, that engine bay scares me. A lot. How are you supposed to work in there?
Also, as a recommendation or critique. In terms of pedal positioning, I'd have a greater tendency to have shifted where the accelerator pedal sat. The brake pedal is designed to have you stomp on it with all your might. If you end up stomping on it at turn 1 where the pad is seated right now, I'd be afraid that the screws holding it in might pull out over time and may eventually result in that one particular corner where the pad actually pops off and you don't have any brakes when you need it most. If the same happened to the accelerator, it would be no big deal other than having limited heel-toe and you won't accelerate as much out of that particular turn.
I'm not saying you need to change it, just a thought to consider before hitting the road course too much. More importantly, just wanted to put this up so anybody thinking of doing the same mod might think about it before they start drilling. Good work Scotty, keep us posted.
