911barber Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 Im wondering of any other AC car's owners have experienced this issue,After a good 400km day in my sc a few weeks ago upon stepping out of the car some sharp nerve pain hit my right calf, the physio said the offset pedals are directly to blame, so I wont be driving for a while im guessing till the spine is fixed.Anyone else has had this issue?George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 Being an LHD driver the pedals are offset in the opposite direction - but never had an issue, and had many multiple hour drives.not to cast assumptions on age but it might be the sudden twisting after sitting for 4hrs+ rather than the offset, which isn't really that mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 Well the po of mine quoted his reason for selling was 'unable to get in and out easily'. Was older than 50 though...keep fit gents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 My son drives one of these;No offset, and very much aircooled, never an issue, but then he is under 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 Well the po of mine quoted his reason for selling was 'unable to get in and out easily'. Was older than 50 though...keep fit gents!Bought two of my Porsches because of this.Old mate who is 82 has just bought a new Cayman . He goes to the gym 3x/week and plays tennis. Move or die!Oh and I've no doubt the offset compromise in RHD 911s is an ergonomic problem waiting to happen. Dunno how you guys put up with it, Aust delivered or not.

GUT Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 Both LHD and RHD are offset. I don't particularly notice much difference between the two. Nor do I notice any issue with either. Keep fit. Stretch a bit. Drive lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 911b, it'll be related to your back and or hamstrings, every niggle stems from back issues. Solution....yoga.10 minutes of downward dog and a bit of worship the sun and you'll be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symsy Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 Maybe your simply just twisting your pelvis , easily corrected with a little stretch, most physios should be able to guide you .. on how to do that and self correct , takes minute.Sounds like something wrong with the back doctor probably drives a Camry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 There is an obvious solution........ buy a 928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 21July, 2017 Report Share Posted 21July, 2017 The offset in 911s is not that bad compared to many other contemporaries. Ever sat in a 70s Ferrari? Did they even use a person to test that seating position out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 22July, 2017 Report Share Posted 22July, 2017 After being in the car for long periods of time, I get an ache in my right knee. My summer daily used to be a 1953 BSA motorcycle. I went to the chiropractor once with a sore back. He said no wonder, riding that thing. I said I'm happy to put up with it and come to see you once in a while.

Airhead Posted 22July, 2017 Report Share Posted 22July, 2017 I see my chiro once a month. He lays me on the table, looks at my back and says " Remind me how many Porsches you own."I tell him not to tell me what to do, but fix me up so I can do what I want to do.
