ok, might just sound picky here
after owning a corsa and a calibra, my plan of action for a next car after the rover coupe's gone is a 2.0 corsa, not 100% whether I want to do a conversion myself ( have been offered my old corsa back stupidly cheap because of running problems), or just buy a car that has already been converted
the only thing putting me off is the size of the pedals on the corsa's
I haven't got especially big feet, but I remember having to use the sides of my feet when wearing my work boots driving my old corsa,
so the question is, has anyone ever managed to change the pedal spacing? or found some kinda of solution to the tiny pedals?
am I right in thinking the lump next to the accelerator pedal is, is where the ECU is? so could I perhaps relocate the ECU and chop up the accelerator pedal a bit?

yeah, as jake says, its basically the wheel arch next to the accelerator pedal.

Wear a pair of trainers and change into your boots when you get out!

I'm size 11 and I dont have a problem with trainers, but when I'm wearing my riggers I press nearly all the pedals at once.
