wayne53 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 The pedals are a pain in the ass to get on. The bolts are to short, and the nuts are to small. The trick is to get the nuts started on the bolts, with the bracket and slide them on from the side, then tighten. I used an allen wrench and a pair of needle nose pliers to tighten them (who has a 5.5mm wrench anyways). But they look nice, and it was worth the 30 minutes it to put them on. I just wish the dead pedal came with them. The shift knob is nice too, probably half the weight of the stock knob. It feels good, and I like it. I'll post some pics in a bit. -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Cool. I just installed a shift knob and I had the pedals factory installed. True I wish they had a matching dead pedal.. it seems kind of silly. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-2.5-GT Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Are the pedals a direct replacement of the current ones? meaning the current ones come off. Or are they strapped around the back of the old ones? How about the black wrx pedals?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 The bolts are to short, and the nuts are to small Seriously now, I had this set ordered as part of the price I worked out on my car, but somehow it got lost in the translation at the dealer. I ended up getting the WRX pedal covers and Autospeed dead pedal from MastroWRX.com - IMHO it looks better because I have the black interior and the rubber nubs are black instead of the red/pink. The point is, they were a serious PITA to install as well. I almost regretted getting them until I saw your post about the STI ones being hard as well. Bottom line, whether you get the STI ones (and add a dead pedal) or the WRX set, they both look better than the stock rubber covers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 rallispec.com sells a set with the dead pedal included for $95 Not true. You are thinking of MastroWRX.Com: http://www.mastrowrx.com/ProductImages/wrxpedalset.jpg Here is the info from Rallispec: http://www.rallispec.com/images_product/RSTA360_small.jpg STi Polished Stainless Pedal Cover Set RSTA-360 Subaru MT $117 RSTA-361 Subaru AT (GC/GF, SF, and BG/BF/BE/BH) $92 RSTA-362 Subaru AT (GD/GG, SG) $92 RSTA-369 Subaru AT (BL/BP) $92 Look at the pics - the dead pedal is from a RHD car and it sits against the center tunnel.

Are the pedals a direct replacement of the current ones? meaning the current ones come off. Or are they strapped around the back of the old ones? How about the black wrx pedals?? The old rubber clutch and brake pedal just come off and the new ones are bolted on..but on the accelerator is put on over the rubber pedal. thanks everyone else.. -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Simpletons Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Just be careful with that shift knob! It is colder that crap in the winter and gets hotter than heck in the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yes have to admit, I have heard from many members that these are not the easiest of bits to get onto the Scooby but once on they are certainly worth it. Thanks for the pics as well, looks great. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yup, anything is better than those stock things. Do you have a pic of the wrx pedal covers? Yup - the pic was in my post, along with a link to the item on Mastro's online site. http://www.mastrowrx.com/ProductImages/wrxpedalset.jpg The pedal covers are hard to get back over the metal, you almost need another set of hands to help but the space is so tight under the dash it won't work. The hardest part of the install is getting the pin out of the e-throttle assembly. I ended up not reusing the pin, but a long allen bolt and t-nut I had in my toolbox - I cut it to length after install and soldered the threads to be sure it doesn't back out.

PGT Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Just be careful with that shift knob! It is colder that crap in the winter and gets hotter than heck in the summer! which one? The Momo? It worked fine for me on the WRX in the winter. I just got the Solberg Edition knob....that is all metal. Cold is right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Just be careful with that shift knob! It is colder that crap in the winter and gets hotter than heck in the summer! I just installed the OEM Momo shift knob like that one and it's fine for temperature. There's enough leather on the top to keep most of your hand comfortable. And the knob goes great with my STi pedals. It's like wayne and I have twin interiors.. except he has the taupe leather and I have black cloth lol. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne53 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 It will be fine for the winter, it just summer I'm worried about. But, with the leather it shouldn't be too bad. -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
