DeltaNu1142 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is it a performance mod? Hardly, but I'm not sure where else to put this. Those of us driving lowly non-Spec.B Legacy GTs are stuck with the plain black pedals. I ordered the OEM WRX pedal pads only to find that the accelerator pedal is one solid piece of plastic, from the arm down. There is no rubber pad or separately-pivoting pedal (at least on the '08-'09). So aside from the WRX clutch & brake pedal pads, I purchased a dead pedal from the dealer for $20. I then found that the 2012 WRX accelerator assembly is identical to the 2009 Legacy assembly. Two 12mm nuts removes the assembly, and the WRX assembly is plug & play.

JeepGuy25 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Are there part numbers/options to do this upgrade to an 05 5EAT car? Not even sure if there is an auto brake pedal cover with this design... I saw that you can get the pink STI pedal covers, but I would Love to get the alum pedals with black dots. They'd look great after I switch to black carpet. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just do the research. The 2012 WRX pedal will likely bolt up. There is probably a comparable auto brake cover out there somewhere. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Do you have a part number for the '12 WRX gas pedal? Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

DeltaNu1142 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I do not... I examined some photos from a guy on NASIOC & pulled the trigger. It's an exact match except for the pedal treatment. It is NOT the same part number as the LGT with a different pad, though; the total pad thickness is the same between the two. Here's a 2011 set from eBay that would have saved me about $60: LINK Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Was just wondering if it's the same part as the GRB STi...

DeltaNu1142 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 The best I can say is that I saw drive-by-wire accelerator pedal assemblies that clearly would not work. Pedal 'arm' angles (lateral) were off. Bolt patterns differed. The '11-'12 (and maybe other year) WRX match up exactly. EDIT: Here's another one that looks like it will match. It's advertised as a 2007 WRX STi assembly, and has a close-up of the Denso p/n: LINK P/N: 36010FE040, verified here. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not rubber. Your accelerator pedal is hard molded plastic. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0Subie9 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 So the 2012 clutch brake and gas pedal bolt right up to the 2009 legacy? I'm very interested in doing this any help would be appreciated. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 That is correct. Bolt pattern, size, electrical connections, position, are all the same between my 2009 LGT and the 2012 WRX part I bought. I've been running it this way since I started this thread.

0Subie9 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm new to these subies and have only had my legacy for a week now. What and where are the electrical connections. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 If you have a Legacy, you can open the driver side door, crouch down in the footwell, and have a look. It's drive-by-wire. One multi-conductor electrical plug. Same on the LGT as it is the WRX. It will take more time to open the door and crouch than it will to unplug the connector.

the kev master Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Would this work on a 2005 LGT as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I really don't know... Remove your accelerator & check if it matches the photos above. It doesn't take 10 minutes. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot4hire Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The back of my 05 definitely looks different it has a pin that I could not get out to put my wrx gas pedal on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 It sounds as if the '05 isn't the one-piece arm/pedal as found in my car. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
