Yep but, you still have more room than I will in my seven. You at least have room for a dead pedal to rest your left foot on. I'll have to do some adjusting and modding to move the brake and clutch pedals to the right. This so I can turn my ankle and slid my left foot past the clutch like in the other Seven that missed out on.

Huh. Really now, size doesn't matter. It's all in the technique.

I guess I shouldn’t say the pedal box is too small. With the brake pedal so close to the gas it is very uncomfortable to get my feet that close together. Of course I would have a difficult time with heel toe. Should probably come up with a brake pedal cover that extends to the left.

I knew I must’ve had a leak somewhere on the exhaust and sure as shit I did. Replaced the gaskets the Motiv OP came with for some grimspeed ones, tightened everything, but the leak is still there, between the OP and the front pipe. Maybe a double gasket?

Double gasket is ghetto. Pull them both and find the issue with Prussian blue or dry erase marker. I bet you can work it out with proper use of a bastard file. Lap the two faces together if you want to be really artistic.

Double gasket might work. If the flanges are bent or warped in any way though it won't help, which is likely the issue.

While my exhaust never leaked to begin with (perrin resonated), I read that adding a bit of copper high temp RTV to a flat gasket exhaust connection can help ensure a good seal. So I did... 3 years later and it's never leaked. The annoying part was having to let it sit and cure for 24 hours before I could start the car again.

Now it may not have ever leaked without it... but it didn't hurt.

Remflex. Warped AF flanges. Reflex ain’t no care.

https://catalog.remflex.com/category_s/31.htm

proper way is to lap the flanges

Im assuming you used the RTV seal in lieu of the gasket?
