Installed Full Set of WRX pedals and deadpedal...Lot 'o Pics

[GranTourer]

Just got my WRX deadpedal from Autospeed today. I finished up installing all the WRX pedals including the accelerator pedal today and boy was it a lot easier than I thought.

Since we get electronic throttle in the '05 Legacy, there was no need to pull an accelerator cable or anything like that. Thankfully the throttle springs are attached to the whole pedal assembly, so to remove the stock pedal assembly you simply unplug the electronic harness (thumb squeeze-and-pull deal) and undo two 12mm bolts.

Slide the assembly off and one can then follow Scoobymod's (http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128) directions from there.

Here are some pics:

Dude, you are awesome! That looks great. Thanks for being the guinea pig for everyone. Now no one's going to buy the STi pedals.

[gtguy]

Those look much better integrated with the rest of the car than the STi pedals. Congrats.

Yeah thanks! Although it doesn't have the cherry red all over it (which would be nice to have), it looks a lot cleaner than the STI pedals. There is no unsightly screw panel on the side of the pedals, if you know what I mean.

[bemani]

Seeing that throttle assembly gives me an idea to put spacers underneath to raise it for easier heel-toe. Would there be any problem with doing that?

[Dr. Zevil]

Nice work, I would have to agree that those are much more subtle than the STi pedals. Very nice. I need to install a dead pedal when I get my car. Of course mine will have to be in cherry red to match my pedals. Nice work!

[powbmps]

That looks great. Did you get all of the pedals from Autospeed?

Thanks,
Chris S.

[Th3Franz]

Yeah is there a cherry red dead pedal to match the STi ones?

[GranTourer]

Thanks for the kind words everyone :)

Seeing that throttle assembly gives me an idea to put spacers underneath to raise it for easier heel-toe. Would there be any problem with doing that?
There would be no problems putting some spacers under the bolts b/c the protruding thread is fairly tall (~6mm).

That looks great. Did you get all of the pedals from Autospeed?
Only the deadpedal was from Autospeed as they don't sell the factory WRX pedals. I ordered the clutch, brake, and accel pedals from Subaruparts.com for ~$50.

Yeah is there a cherry red dead pedal to match the STi ones?
Unfortunately no, unless you buy the JDM STi pedal set, but even then the deadpedal wouldn't fit b/c it's for RHD. Also the STi deadpedal, dimensions wise, doesn't fit the USDM deadpedal area.

[*Jedimaster*]

Awesome! After seeing the silly rubber pedals in my Outback XT, I've been thinking about this- what a great solution! And it doesn't have to have the pink rubber thingies like what they offer at the dealer!

[Dr. Zevil]

We can get a dead pedal for the STi pedals:

http://www.rallispec.com/images-pageinfo/thumbRSTA360.jpg

from http://www.rallispec.com/product-acc4.htm

Don't know if you can buy just the dead pedal though.

[Dr. Zevil]

Just read this though:

Note: due to LHD/RHD differences the dead pedal cannot be installed as intended (use self tapping screws instead).

[brady_bunch]

Just out of curiosity, is there better grip or other functional benefit or are these just bling?

They look sweet. I have that same interior so I now know exactly how it would look. Thanks!

[dimil]

Thanks, that looks like first mod for me :)

I'd say it's just bling. In fact, I'm re-considering doing this, as my WRX pedals always seemed really slippery when wet. I do, however, want the deadpedal- that plasticky dead pedal does not look like it belongs in a 30 thousand dollar car.

[Xenonk]

I assume the brake and clutch pedal is not swapped out the same way as the throttle pedal?

Keefe

[GranTourer]

Correct, they're replaced quite easily by slipping the original pedal covers off and slipping the WRX ones on with the help of a small flat-head screwdriver.

[brady_bunch]

Hey, GranTourer,
This doesn't quite look like what you installed: http://www.autospeed.com/shop/category_1652/product_1002100039/browse.html

Do you have a link to the product on the Autospeed site?

[mccorry]

I couldn't find it either....

Did find one at http://www.kastleskorner.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=406 , but this one looks longer that the one listed in the picture at the beginning of the thread...

Ah... found it....

Mine's on order! :wink:

[mccorry]

Doh...double post.....

[GranTourer]

Wow, that's funny, Autospeed magazine :lol: Yep, the last link you posted is for the Autospeed that makes Subaru parts. I actually ordered mine through MastroWRX (http://mastrowrx.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=66) so I wouldn't pay tax. Same product same price.

Great... now I feel doubly goofy. :oops:

I couldn't find Autospeed dead pedal via Google except for MastroWRX so I ordered it from there earlier this evening. I wonder why it never showed up at Autospeedperformance.com?

FWIW, MastroWRX got pretty good feedback on nasioc.

[Opie]

I got all of my pedals today from Mastro!

It helps that I work there and Parts is about 6ft away from my desk! :lol:

[Opie]

And between that last post and now, I installed them all! :D

[mccorry]

Looking good.... mine are still on order..... but then again, so is my car! :roll:

[brady_bunch]

And between that last post and now, I installed them all! :D
And how much did your STi sills cost? :)

[godwhomismike]

Where did you find all of the pedals? Did they have pedals for automatics? This is likely to be the first thing I'll add as soon as I get it.

[Opie]

Less than their list price....but still too much! :lol:

The brake, clutch and accelerator pedals are from a 2002-2004 WRX (They come stock on the WRX and the STi). Got them from my dealer. The dead-pedal is made by Autospeed (again...for the WRX) but fits perfect for the Legacy.

I do believe their are brake pedals availible for the Auto's, the dead-pedal and accelerator pedals are the same in the autos as the manuals so they will fit no problem.

[inthedeck]

Any chance of finding an STi dead pedal, in the Cherry Red color? Sucks that the pedal set for the manuals does not come with all four pedals.

Oh well, I will try and find one somewhere...after the car gets here.

peace,
i.

[brady_bunch]

I did the WRX pedal swap this weekend and it took MUCH longer than expected... but maybe my expectations were out of whack to begin with.

Notes:

The old plain rubber pads come off from bottom to top very easily. I slipped on the new ones on from bottom to top. I could not for the life of me put the new pads on from the top and get the bottoms pulled on properly. I had to use two screw drivers on the top (one on each side of the pedal to flip the rubber over the lip of the actual pedal at the same time otherwise I would get one side and it would come off when I tried to do the other side. :x

The dead pedal came off easy enough after cuting through some glue between it and the carpet. I used some spray glue before putting the new one on and reused the original plastic "screws/rivets" to secure it.

The removal of the accelerator assembly from the footwell was very easy. Removing the pedal from the accelerator assembly took a bit more effort. I had to hammer out the pin that holds on the pedal and the use a vise to compress the pin before I could get it to go back in again.

From earlier posts on this, I was thinking this was a ten minute "in and out" kind of job. :P It took me almost two hours although some of that was spent going to and from the kitchen to get water (it was about 100 degrees outside!) :o

[Opie]

Hmm, that's some heat to work in, but the results look great! Sorry if any of the earlier posts mislead you :)
For me it took, after figuring out a few things:
Deadpedal = 5 minutes
Brake & Clutch = 5 minutes
Accel Pedal = 20 minutes

The accel pedal can be a big PITA, but the trick is using a drift pin just large enough and giving it a good forceful WHACK to get the old pin out. Same thing for installing the pin on the new pedal, forceful hits.

[brady_bunch]

At least we don't have to worry about the accelerator cable! :D

Sorry if any of the earlier posts mislead you
No biggie. I forgot my cardinal rule of working on cars. Take your original estimate of how long it will take and double it (triple it if it is something you have never done before). I would have come out just about right if I had done that. :lol:

[mccorry]

DOH!!!! I received my pedals and deadpedal today, but there is a problem with my deadpedal.

It is missing one of the small black rubber grips. The thing is in the factory bag, just no grip. I am slightly miffed.... Oh well... as long as Autospeed makes it right.... :evil:

I have a call in with them now..... :cry:

[brady_bunch]

No worries... I'm sure they will make it right. It is definitely in their best interests (and potential sales from our comments and photos on this site) to do so! :D

[mccorry]

Well..... I have now tried for 2 days to get in contact with them with no luck. The phone # goes instantly to a message system where I have left my numbers. I have yet to get a call back from them.

All of my E-mails have gone un-answered....

:x Going to keep at it... but it isn't fun.....

[*Jedimaster*]

Do those little plugs that hold the deadpedal itself come with it? I didn't get any and the ones in my car are gray. Did you guys paint them?

[GranTourer]

Weird, mine are black so painting was not needed. The plugs are reused from the stock deadpedal.

[*Jedimaster*]

Hmm- mine is an Outback- maybe that's why?

Yeah, any new info? I don't wanna have to take a quick 20 minute drive to AutoSpeed and put the smackdown on someone :) j/k

[kanoswrx]

I think I am going to have to order these for myself. I miss my wrx pedals and hoping these will make heal/toe a little easier in the LGT.

Do you have to e-mail mastro about getting all of this at the 95 dollar price, or do they have a link on their web page? Doh, just saw the phone number :) thanks :)

I just did mine last week- what a pita the brake pedal was for somereason.

I can't see metal pedals making heel-toeing any easier, unless they are wider. Pedal position is what it is. General impediments to heel-toeing are significantly different levels between brake and throttle, or a large distance between said pedals.

Actually, he contacted me on the 7th and said he was on vacation.. but that on the 9th, when he got back, he would send me some replacement grips.

Got them last week and I am good to go :P ... just need to get the car here now! :cry:

[GranTourer]

Ouch, pedals and no car yet. When are you expecting?

[mccorry]

Next Monday (23rd...)

My wife is been laughing at me as I have been stockpiling parts for the new car (that I don't have yet... as she routinely points out).

Have the pedals, Momo shift knob, and 8" amplifed SAS sub waiting for the car.... :oops:

[brady_bunch]

Got pics of the sub?

[kanoswrx]

I wonder, is it possible to just buy the entire accelerator assembly instead of just swapping pedals? I talked to my friend at the dealership and he said its only about 15 bucks more for the whole assembly, instead of just the pedal itself. does the electronic throttle plug hook up to a wrx one? I guess thats the big question.

[brady_bunch]

I don't think the WRX is drive by wire, is it?

[Drift Monkey]

I don't think the WRX is drive by wire, is it?
Yes but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm doubtful it will fit, but who knows...

[brady_bunch]

I don't think the WRX is drive by wire, is it?
Yes but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm doubtful it will fit, but who knows...
If he's getting the accelerator assembly, the drive by wire "rheostat" is part of the LGT assembly. No throttle cable connections.

If he gets the WRX assembly, it has the cable connections but no electronics.

[Enzo]

How about the STi accelerator assembly?

[kanoswrx]

Yeah, I forgot the wrx wasn't drive by wire, thought they would have made it that by now. But yeah, maybe a STI's? I installed the clutch and brake wrx pedals today. took awhile trying to get the tab over the top, but eventually got them. Soon I will do the accelerator pedal

[brady_bunch]

Is the STi drive-by-wire? I didn't realize. Cool.

[Enzo]

Yes, the STi is drive by wire.

[mccorry]

Got pics of the sub?

Here is a picture of a non-amp'ed 6.5" that I have on the support stand I welded up. I made the stand so that the tube would stay put in the GT's trunk and not roll around....

[godwhomismike]

How come there are no metal pedal kits for the automatic, they did make automatic WRX's :roll:

- Mike

[*Jedimaster*]

They can be ordered, Mike.

[sandwood]

Just to add my two cents to this, I found the accelerator pedal pin to be a real b!tch as well. I eventually had to take the assembly down to my local hardware store and get their help using their vise to hold everything and get the pin out. Instead of reusing the pin, I also replaced it with a bolt and locking nut. Pedals in, no pictures but they look great. took me all afternoon!

One other thing I noticed is that there is additional movement of the throttle possible when the lower part of the pedal first makes contact with the floor and plastic trim. Did anyone else notice that? I don't know if the computer is figuring out inputs correctly for full throttle anyway, but you could depress the throttle further by depressing the upper part of the pedal - tilting in your toes if you were driving. I haven't tried this to see what, if anything, happens when doing this while actually on the road.

I have to say, I think the pedals and the kick plate above them were not well designed. I have only size 10 1/2 shoes and I often feel cramped - both to the right of the go pedal and above the gas and brake.

[mccorry]

I have seen the pedal/floor interference that you are talking about sandwood.... not sure why it was designed like this...

I wear 11's and don't really notice clearance issues wtih my feet....

[tu11ym0n]

it really sucks that there is no STi deadpedal. I just picked up my new LGT and opted for the Sti pedals. I go the 5EAT since my wife doesn't drive manual. now after seeing the WRX pedals I am pissed that i got the STi pedals cuz i really like the look of the WRX pedals.

even though the WRX deadpedal doesn't match the STi pedals, I'd be willing to get it for my LGT. Does anyone know if the WRX deadpedal has more surface area than the stock deadpedal? I ask cuz the stock seems a bit small for my foot (size 11).

also, what is involved in changing/installing the WRX deadpedal in a Legacy GT? is it a simple switch with screws or what? I was under the impression the deadpedal was part of the carpet.

[rc0032]

I have seen a Sti deadpetal. Try e-bay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7940869903&category=33700&sspagename=WDVW) or Paul at AVO....

http://www.rpmgarage.com/ebayshop/GDB_padel/P1010003.JPG

[OCDetails]

The WRX deadpedal is the exact same size as the factory one. Maybe a little tiny bit bigger, but its not noticable. It fills the same space the factory one does.

The STI pedal doesn't fit well in our cars. The one pictured there fits between the black dots on the factory pedal. Plus you have to drill them down into the floor. The WRX style dead pedal is a direct replacement for the OEM one.

do a search on that. I've posted more than one link to places you can get them. just search for "sti pedals" or "wrx pedals" depending on which ones you want.

Is there any difference between these pedals and the ones MastroWRX sells? Those are a great deal.

[mccorry]

Those are factory Subaru parts that I listed.
You have to go to MastroWRX or Autospeed to get the matching deadpedal.

[OCDetails]

The only part that isn't official Subaru in the Mastro set is the dead pedal. The other three were official WRX pedals. I tried to find the link to get all four pedals and I can't seem to locate it. Do they still offer all four?

[alpinefun]

I have ordered the set of 4 pedals from MastroWRX.com on Friday. $94.95 including delivery.

[scans007]

Just for lazy people
http://www.mastrowrx.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=293

Looks good, if I had an extra $$ I'd be on them too...they'll look really nice

[godwhomismike]

Still no automatic wrx style pedal - just the cherry blossom-red (pink) colored STi pedals :(

[alpinefun]

The dead pedal came off easy enough after cuting through some glue between it and the carpet. I used some spray glue before putting the new one on and reused the original plastic "screws/rivets" to secure it.
I'm going to install these pedals tonight and I wonder what kind of spray glue I could use for the dead pedal? Is glue really needed?

[OCDetails]

Nope. No glue required. Just pop those plastic screw things back into place and it stays in place just fine.

[alpinefun]

Thanks a lot!

[Johnny5]

I found if using just the push pins, there was still some play in the dead pedal. I used some gurilla glue from home depot. Now its as solid as the pedal from the factory.

[tu11ym0n]

I ordered my deadpedal from AutoSpeed last Saturday, but haven't heard a peep from them re: my order status. How long does it usually take them to process/ship orders?

GranTourer, I'm not too far from you, so how long did it take for you?

[iyamdman]

I got mine 10 days after placing the order.

It may have been 8 days, but I wasn't home for 2 days at the end.

[iyamdman]

Here is the Dead pedal and other pedals and aluminum shift knob.

I used Gorilla Glue to attach it to the carpet. Getting the stock one off took a little work and a good knife.

The New Dead Pedal is bigger, and feels much better then the stock thing.

Well worth the money.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/iyamdman/IYDM-Car-WRXpedals-s.jpg

[scans007]

Awesome......so they weren't hard to install? I was think'n of getting a set......

Now we just need to get you and STS and get rid of that Giraffe shifter.........:lol:

[iyamdman]

Had the dealer do the 3 main pedals as part of the deal to buy the car, I did the dead pedal.

The shift height is actually good for me, but the throw length is a little long.

Looking and a Kartboy STS and bushings.

[OCDetails]

I still haven't been able to get the pin out of the gas pedal. The brake, clutch and dead pedal took about 5 minutes combined. That gas pedal has been a biatch for a month now. Grrrrrr....

[Johnny5]

I still haven't been able to get the pin out of the gas pedal. The brake, clutch and dead pedal took about 5 minutes combined. That gas pedal has been a biatch for a month now. Grrrrrr....

Mine was fairly easy. Just soak the pin with WD40, then put a piece of soft wood, ie pine, board under the accelerator arm. Bang the hell out of the pin with a large screw driver and hammed. The pin will slid out and into the soft wood like a nail. Then just remove the pin from the board.

[OCDetails]

Define 'soft wood'. I don't know what I've got around here that will work for that. Would a fairly tall stack of cardboard work do you think?

[Johnny5]

I used a half in thick pine board. Don't know if cardboard will work because it might give too much. The board takes a pounding because the end of the arm, near the pedal, should rest on the board. Make sure the end of the metal rod is supported by the board, not the pedal or you could snap the pedal.

[tu11ym0n]

Yesterday was truly Xmas for me. I received both my AccessPort from Cobb and my deadpedal from AutoSpeed Performance. :)

The deadpedal is a work of art and doesn't look half-bad next to the STi pedals already installed in my 05 LGT 5EAT. I much prefer the look of the deadpedal and wish there was a way to get the same look for my brake and accel.

it was very easy to install. The stock deadpedal has two plastic plugs that you can pull out with a flat-head screwdriver. Since the stock deadpedal is also held in place by a little glue, you'll also need a razor blade or Xacto knife to gently trim off the carpet attached to the back of the deadpedal so that it comes off completely. Once off the WRX deadpedal goes on in a sec. it lines up perfectly with the holes for the plugs and looks beautiful. I'm a happy camper. :)

[iyamdman]

[waterdish]

Hey guys, I installed all my pedals. they forgot the dead pedal in the first shipment, so I got a pic without and with the dead pedal, I just got the mail and installed the dead pedal.

[waterdish]

what I did....

Hey, There all quite easy to install except the Go Pedal. I believe it was 2 10mm bolts (get an extension and ratchet) and unplug the wiring, if your looking at the bolts you will see the wiring to the assembly, you have to press the clip on the right side to unplug it.



Once that is off I used the "Soft Piece of wood and WD40" Method. I used a flat punch to pound it out then a smaller one to take it the rest of the way through, you will see what we mean when you take it off.



The Dead pedal is easy to. Pry up the two plastic clips. They used glue to hold it down from the factory. You will need to cut the fibers off the carpet from behind the original dead pedal. Replace the two plastic clips and press really hard so they snap in tight. You can also put some glue behind there, I haven't done this yet but I may take it off and put some if I notice movement.



The brake and clutch pedals are really easy, the just basically slide on.


A question for others that installed the brake and clutch pedals.... They slip on really easy...

Although, I couldn't get the rubber to go around the TOP of the pedal. is this normal or should I try hard to get it to completely go around.

I drove around all day yesterday and didn't have anyproblems like them coming off. Also I love the new pedals there great for less then 100 bucks shipped.

Cool, good to hear the "soft wood" technique worked for you too. For clutch and brake, the pad should go around the top of the pedal. Its really hard to do by hand, but its quite easy if you mash the pedals with your foot. Make sure when you mash, to also give a slight upward force, like sliding you foot up the pedal while pressing. The brake is very easy since it provides resistance. The clutch took serveral mashings since it easily goes to the floor. Good luck.

They did that to me too. They sent it DHL as soon as I let them know about it though. I still haven't had the time to go at the gas pedal again. I was cleaning the garage and saw the pedal on my work bench the other day. I need to figure that puppy out....

Concerning the Gas Pedal. I said a few choice words and got pissed at it. But once its done your glad you did it.

[suba_rus]

I can't belive it. Is it happening to everybody now? They forgot dead pedal in my shipment to. Have to admit thou that MastroRX overnighted missing pedal to me and I instaled everysing in one shot- not that difficult.
Looks like it mandatory now to have metal pedals and MOMO shifter :lol: . I have it too :cool: . Looks good, feels good, now I belong :)

[abakja1]

I saw these pedals on EBAY and I believe you put them on like RAZO pedals where you screw on some metal bars and bend them back to "pinch" against stock rubber pedals,..

The color black with the silver accents would look good in a black interior,..

But I ordered the stock WRX rubber pedals from my local dealer for $65.91.

BTW,..was getting the pin out from the accelerator pedal to spring really difficult? I dont have any "punches" to use,..thinking of using something like a large nail or screwdriver that I can find around in my tool box,...

any suggestions??

[OCDetails]

Do a search on that. There are a couple threads telling you how to do that (this one included). Its a big enough pain that I've had my pedals for a month or two now and I still haven't gotten that pin out to replace the gas pedal.

I don't know why your having that much trouble. Its a pain but very do-able. The Pin has to serrated edges and if you use a flat head screwdriver it might slit it more... but if your careful you CAN use the screwdriver. I would use flat punches.... I would buy some because there are many uses for them anyways.


Be patient and take your time and you will have it done in no time.



I don't know why there missing all the dead pedals in the orders... but I paid like 94.95 for all 4.



$ 65.91 for the pedals, and $49.00 I saw for the Autospeed Dead pedal that’s $114.91

[OCDetails]

I paid less than 100 shipped from Mastro. Where did you get yours from?

One of the reasons I haven't got it done yet is more a lack of time than a lack of ability. I know how to do it, I just haven't had time to get it done. I have tried, but I just haven't tried when I have the time to really put the effort in. If the stock pedal were more non functional then I'd probably be putting in more of an effort. I've got an event this weekend that I want my car to be at, so maybe I'll take some time this week.

[abakja1]

oops,..forgot to post EBAY link,..looks like Razo type pedals,..Im picking up my WRX pedals tomorrow and ordered a dead pedal on Ebay thats actually longer than the Autospeed or Mastro pedal,..

Item #7976162789,..Nice Black pedals with silver outlays and STI emblem...

[abakja1]

Oh,..and even though Im paying more for my pedals, Im getting my WRX from the dealer tomorrow (local pick up) and just have to wait for the EBAY pedal later this week,..Shipping to Honolulu will cost more to me than to local mainlanders like you folks,..

hmm,..anyone know why I cant "cut and paste" weblinks (the EBAY link) in Mozilla into the "Quick Reply" portion on this LegacyGT forum? Never had that problem with MS Internet Explorer,....

[waterdish]

I got mine from Mastro as well.

Try useing Ctrl V to paste...

[waterdish]

No Problem.

Looks like you will have to drill some holes in the brake and clutch itself to attach the pedal covers... if you get what I'm trying to say. How are they installed? it just look like there flat. They do look nice though. Hope the grip is good even when there wet like it says...

Is it just me or does that dead pedal look green... maybe its just the picture.

[abakja1]

I had Razo pedals before and they probably install the same as Razo pedals,..

you screw on some rectangular metal bars to the pedals, place them on top of the stock pedals, and then "bend" the metal bars back so that they pinch the new pedals to the old pedals,..

So, sort of like "stacking" them on top,...or like new covers,..

just got my car today cause yesterday was Memorial Day and I couldnt get it from the shipping dock,..

I just installed the pedals except the Gas pedal,..

Now, did you guys do this alone or with the help of two more hands cause I did everything to pound that sucker out with a hammer and the flat head of a large nail and PB Blaster and even WD40,..

Anyone got pics of how you placed the accelerator arm on the soft wood? does it matter which direction you pound out the pin (I know stupid ?, but just thought I ask),..

i didnt want to damage the "plug in part" for the harness the way I had the assembly sitting sideways and with either the arm or the plastic pedal on its side with me pounding away,..

Any pics would be helpful for the single do-it yourselfer,...

[sandwood]

personally, I ended up destroying the pin bc I couldn't get the damn thing out. I replaced it with a locking bolt from the hardware store.

[suba_rus]

Took me a while but finaly was able to hummer pin out.

I did it by myself. but don't have any pics. The way it was sitting on the wood...if you are looking down at the assembly, the mounting end is on the left, and the pedal will be on the right. You need to start with a nail/screw driver thats larger than the pin, otherwise you'll split the pin. Once the pin is up to the hole, you'll need to use a second nail/screw driver that is the same size as the pin so it'll fit thru the hole. You really need to hit it hard, when I was done, the wood was split. Which is good since you want the wood to take the force, not the pedal arm. Good luck. If you post a pic of the pedal assembly and piece of wood i can quicly photo shop it to show how to line it up, but I'm not removing mine again since those bolts are a PITA to get to and remove.

[abakja1]

I guess that people are using flat punches to pound the pin thru because looking at the pin itself, it seems that it has "serrated" ends that are opened up so that it wouldnt back out or fall back thru the hole,..

I was using the flat head side of a large nail so that I wouldnt "open up" the drive pin's open end any larger if I stuck a nail or Phillips screwdriver end in there,..I even tried to "squeeze" together the drive pin ends to try and make it smaller than the pedal's hole so possibly it would be easier to drive the pin thru,..

I think I will just go out and buy the punches even though I dont know what else Id use them for and try that,..Its something I wouldnt normally have in my tool box.

id still like to see anyone else's pics if you are going to do this mod in the future as this could help others too since the accelerator pedal is giving most fits,..

[flatsphere]

Thanks GranTourer!
Removing the throtle made it much easier to replace the pedal and use the original pin.

Thanks!

I just ordered these yesterday! I've been looking forward to doing this for a long time.

My buddy was laughing at me for doing "cosmetic" mods to the car!

So far though, I'd say my "cosmetic to functional" mods ratio is pretty solid.

I've spent over $2,000 in mods total (I don't want to figure out exactly how much more than that it really is) and total cosmetic only mods only account for about $165 of that. One of them being a MOMO shift knob. Since I use that about as much as the Steering wheel (which I also replaced) and the pedals (about to be replaced! :lol: ) I hardly think the MOMO counts as a cosmetic mod anyway! :lol:

But the list of cosmetic only mods:
Soon to be Pedals - $94.95
MOMO Knob - $65
Blacked out headlights - $5 for paint and sandpaper
Debadging - $0.46 (electricity for the hair dryer ;) )

For the record, my buddy was joking. He actually commented on how tastefully I've modded my car so far. Then he went on to encourage me to: Tint, go Stage 2, do suspension, and new tires.

Bastard! :lol:

New tires will in fact be next. 24,000 miles on the RE92s is coming close to their full life. I think I've done well!

I've joined the pedal club now. A friend of mine had these on his FXT and I really liked the feel both for heel-toe and when wet. I found my shoes were sticking to the stock pedal covers when they got a little damn and it was really annoying when manipulating the clutch. These feel a good bit nicer.

No matching deadpedal (it came with a RHD pedal) and I'm not sure I'm going to bother spending $40-50 on one of the other aluminum dead pedals.

I straightened out the clutch pedal after I saw this picture and realized it was a bit crooked.

My pedals came in today. Going to pick them up now. :)

[RaGe]

got mine installed yesterday. I have been trying to read over all of the posts but if i happened to miss something oh well. I found it easier with the brake and clutch pedals to get a smaller flat headed scewdriver ( like mentioned in earlier posts ) but pushing it in from thevery top of the pedal rather than going in from the side. This might be one of those things that you would think well yeah no crap. but i read everything before i do it. so if there is anyone else like me hope this helps as well. But the dead pedal and gas pedal really wasnt that bad. was expecting the worse. but the brake and clutch kicked my butt. but they do look nice though. nice little write ups.

[bakasama]

Got mine and guess what...the accel pedal is COMPLETELY different in 07. Or I don't know what I'm doing. I'll post pics when I have a solution.

[mickeyd2005]

Really? Can you post some pictures too?

Thanks.

[butrball12]

07 doesnt fit.... the gas pedal is all one piece connected to the actual arm....

[Sponge]

Damn I was just going to pull the trigger on this today!

[Cliff]

I really like this upgrade. Looks great and the pedal itself is firmer.

[one69chev]

i've been waiting to do this one as well, maybe for my b-day wifey will take pity on me and let me order some.......

[RacerX100]

My accel pedal went on easy - took maybe 15 minutes.

The brake and clutch pedal slip on easy as well but I CANNOT GET THE RUBBER LIP TO FIT OVER THE TOP OF THE PEDAL!!!!!!!!!!

I'm about out of patience bc I have been trying to get them to fit using the screwdriver method. This is the toughest part by far. It's always the little minor crap that gets you annoyed :)

[bakasama]

I gave up on the upper lip. Been driving them for over a month, and they haven't slipped a mm.

$0.02

[mickeyd2005]

Ha ha. At least I'm not the only one. It was so damn hard to get it up as high as I got it that I didn't think it would ever move... and it hasn't yet.

[RacerX100]

:rolleyes: I run two warehouses and they have almost every type of hand, power, and specialty tool you can imagine. I tried screwdrivers, mini bars (think of a miniature crowbar with a hooked end) and a multi tool.

The funny thing is here's what finally worked on the top lip....used that bottom part where the hook is to lift the rubber lip up and over the plate. I'll be happy to let anyone use this revolutionary new tool (it's an old peghook) if you need it!

[SC GT]

I got my clutch cover on entirely, but couldn't get my brake over the top, but it was snug so I just went with it. Around 9 months later, it slipped off.

To get it on, I think I wet it down to make it slippery and then it finally went on without much fuss. I'm not sure if it was the water or the 9 months of use that finally caused it to fit.

[TRS]

Lubrication works wonders when things don't quite fit right. I used a little silicone spray and a stubby flat blade screwdriver to coax the lip over the top of the brake pedal.

[Mark34]

This definatley does not work on the '07. It has one plastic pedal assembly. I also have tried a set or Sparco pedals and dead pedal, but they way that they have to be mounted causes (bolts go through vertically and hot the mounting brackets) interference with the other pedals because they are so close together. I think I may try an STi set or wait. The Subaru dealer told me the '07 set would be out near the end of May and will cost about $150. I'm guessing it's the Spec B set. However, that autospeed dead pedal looks like it be an excellent match for the Spec B pedals.

Here's a good place for some STi ones. The dead peadal should mount to the metal bracket that is behind the factory one, just have to pull up the carpet and it's held in with 3 nuts.

[LegacyGT 05]

Just did the wrx pedal install today. I really didn't want to bother with removing the whole pedals. The brake/clutch were not hard, just a little annoying. I sprayed them down with wd40 (the pads) and it wasn't too bad. Slide it on and forward as far as you can go and use a small flathead underneath to pull out. It took 10 min or so, but was more annoying because of the position as opposed to the difficulty.

As to the gas pedal - it took half the time because I just cheated - as suggested from another post I had seen ;) Instead of removing the whole pedal and fighting with the pin, I cut the pedal off with a pair of wire snips, and cut the pin out. First I cut it flush to the metal stem with a hack saw - 30 sec. Then I drilled it out - another 30 sec. Use the bit you cut off to get a size for the drill bit - just make it a tad smaller.

Putting it back on was also pretty easy - biggest difficulty I had was that I forgot to measure the size of the nut before putting it on ;) Just use a 2" by 1/4" bolt with washers. The star ones work best, but I didn't have any. Perhaps later...

They look awesome!

[FoxHound]

that looks awesome. i though you just got pedal covers, but you went all out. Great Job

[LawGT]

I installed the deadpedal, clutch and brake. Got it all from Mastro. Used a flathead screwdriver to get the top lip over the top of the pedal(but not the lower part of the the "lip" -- ie at the top rubber part that is shorter than the long top lip)...if that makes any sense. THe accel peddal will have to wait because my ghetto 12mm socket is to "shallow" and wont fit over the bolt sufficiently to get to the nut. I'll have to hit the hardware store to get a longer socket...darn!

[Whirling Dervish]

Have they started making these for ATs yet? I have the deadpedal already, but don't want the STi pinks since they don't match....

:cool:

[LawGT]

Installed the gas pedal today. I could nto get that stupid pin out, so I cheated. Instead of removing it, I hammered it until it was flush with the plastic in the pedal. Then I moved the large black pedal assembly metal rod back and forth carefuly, until the plastic where the pin goes through started to bend, and I just pulled the whole black metal pedal rod and pin out of the plastic pedal. The plastic gave way and did not break (but you have to use careful force not to break it). I then did the same thing to install the metal pedal (bent the plastic in the new pedal until I could slide the pin in).

[ercdvs]

I got the brake pedal on 99% of the way (one year after dead pedal.. SLOW install ;) )

That thing is a bitch. Its holding now, but I would rather it go 100% of the way.. time to lube it up..

is it possible to buy a new electronic metal acc pedal, rather then hammer out that pin?

[LawGT]

sure, but it will cost you. Over $120 bucks, if I remember correclty a quote my dealer gave me (for the complete accel assembly)

I have a 5mt and had MAJOR problems installing the Clutch and Brake. I did a search on this forum and found the 'easy' way to do it. Sit in the drivers seat and press on the brake pedal from bottom to the top in one smooth fashoin it will strecth the rubber and it will fall onto the pedal . Try this I bet it will work.

Good luck.

[Mark34]

I have a set of these pedals available. If anyone is interested please message me. Thanks.

[Canon20D]

Got mine from a LGT member who bought them for an 07 - Doh! ^^^ Hint ;)
The dead pedal, clutch and brake went rather flawlessly. I used a bit of the old 5min 2 part epoxy to make sure they never leave =D
The go pedal was a bitch, but thats cause it was 10 pm and i didnt wanna be hammering it out in my apartment, but i finally went outside and used the concrete
Was anyone elses an expansion pin? That made it a real PITA! I could grab it for the life of me with pliers or anything. When i had it almost all the way out, i acutlly clutched it into my cordless drill and spun it a few times and that loosened it enough to get it all the way out.
Once it was out (iow: compressed) it had no problem sliding into the new pedal =D
going to reinstall tomorrow AM with a few spacers I have left over..i figure 3 or so should raise it up, least its an easy mod if I find thats to high

[Canon20D]

Heres pics of the final install!
I used i think either 5 or 6 3/8" washers (from the hogzaust mod) to raise the bottom of the pedal up.
Now its level with the other pedals! But when pressing on the brake, the gas is actully Higher than the brake now.. so its basiclly still the same problem, but in reverse. I think im going to take out 2 washers and see what happens.
PICS!!

I do need to lower the gas though, its so high now its almost uncomfortable to keep your foot at that angle when using low amount of Go...

[spicytuna]

That is a really cool mod!

I wonder when the 07 kit will come out? Now I have another thing to add to my waiting list. (The other being an AP of course!)
