As you can see on my setup the pedals are reversed. The reason I did it was that when I move it from in front of the TV I don't have to worry about gathering up the pedals as they are all together. I'm in the process of redoing my setup right now. If you click on the picture you can view other photos on my photobucket album. Also I think it makes the pedals feel a little more "real". If you change the pedals like I did you will have to move the cord into the baseplate more (I used electrical tape to keep the cord from moving). You will see what I mean by this if you take the base apart. Also this moves the clutch pedal away from the brake pedal.

The main reason people take apart the baseplate, rearrange the pedals, and turn them upside down, is for realism. Most cars do not have pedals that hinge from the floor. Most have pedals pivot from a top mount. Also, the G25 pedals are designed to be utilized without the baseplate if necessary allowing for greater adaptability (height, angle, distance apart, etc...).
Here's a good example of how it is done right.

Nice cockpit.
Was it yours or someone else's(more likely)? I would like to see a link to the post of how this person did the cockpit.
Nope, not mine. A member of www.finalgear.com. He's a welder/fabricator so you can imagine how he made it. A lot of square tubing welded together with a prototype Mazda 6 seat.
