    Welcome,

    which MPS do you have? First gen or second?

    What is wrong with the gear box and pedal set up? This the first time I have heard anybody have an issue with either. so cautious.

    i suppose its a first generation 2007 - In regards to the gearbox and pedal set up - short shift gearbox thats ok but the accelerator and clutch are miles apart and on different levels - almost impossible to heel and toe - therefor on normal changing lose a lot of revs - maybe I just can't drive it. Still thats why I'm here to learn. When I REALLY want to go fast I just hop in the GTS "grin"

    more practise and you will be able to heel and toe with ease.

    Its a car you really have to LEARN to drive.

    I think heel and toe could be a dying art. That is probably why I have not heard anyone mention it as an issue before.

    I am going to try it this week. I have a Gen 2 but i think that the padel position would be very much the same.
