Anyone who has driven one of the early-model STs (mine was a 2013) will know just how abhorrent the relative distance was between the brake and the accelerator. The RS, while not nearly as bad, still has a problem with the gas being a little too low for daily driving heel-toe. (Although it's more easily done at the track where your brake pedal will get a little more exercise.)
That said, heel-toe downshifting is a part of my driving habits, and I felt like the RS needed just a minor, minor adjustment to the go-pedal's height. I 3D printed several prototypes ranging from 1.5" thick (jeezus, way too much) all the way down to 0.25" (not quite enough), finally settling on a thickness that I felt was just right for daily driving. I think it might be a bit much for the track, but we'll see after we do a little more testing later next week. I present to you my weekend project:
And of course, I just had to add a little of my own personal touch to it... being that I tend to go overboard on occasion.
