I've been off and on, contemplating getting a 'vert RX-7, spritzing it up and using it for a daily driver.. Retiring the Trans Am, and getting a nice tow vehicle instead of my old 'burb.

Anyway, the only thing about my old RX-7 that bugged me was the location of the parking brake. It's absolutely in the worst spot for me and my long *** legs, pokes me. Now, I can pull the brake out, but I really like having a brake, ya know? So have any of you moved it? It doesn't look that hard, just some metal surgery and welding.

PaulC,

Hey you too

Still looking for a cheap convertible shell.

I'm confused on the parking brake. I'm 6'2" and don't have a problem with it. Are you saying the convertible doesn't have the brake in the middle ??

BTW - what's up with your new name. I liked PaulC better.

We're two different people

The parking brake is on the left side of the trans tunnel, and it pokes me in the right leg as I drove the car. Bugged the hell out of me on long trips.

lol you drive spread eagle?
If you're gonna change the position of the brake make it a cool one :-D

 

Theres no way that the parking brake should get in the way unless you have the seat way up close to the dash so you have your legs way apart. I sit as comfortably as I want and have never even touched it. How tall are you? Might be different if your 6'8", I dunno.

 

just buy a smaller steering wheel. much easier

 

relocate parking brake - 170$
buy a smaller steering wheel - 90$
tape a pillow over the E-brake - 1.69$

:1party:

 

having a girl get into the pass seat and say "how thought full of you to put a pillow here, normaly this hurts" as she leans over and sticks her head in your lap - Priceless

 

yeah. relocate it to YOUR FACE!!! OOHHHH

 

good one scott...

Oh, and cheesy.
Shut
The
****
