godwhomismike Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Still no automatic wrx style pedal - just the cherry blossom-red (pink) colored STi pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefun Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Nope. No glue required. Just pop those plastic screw things back into place and it stays in place just fine. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Johnny5 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tu11ym0n Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyamdman Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyamdman Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 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......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyamdman Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 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.... _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

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 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 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? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Johnny5 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tu11ym0n Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyamdman Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Here is how mine looks: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/iyamdman/IYDM-2005LegacyGTLimited-pedals-1a-s.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/iyamdman/IYDM-2005LegacyGTLimited-Inside-5a-s.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/iyamdman/IYDM-2005LegacyGTLimited-Inside-1a-s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterdish Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

But once its done your glad you did it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suba_rus Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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 . I have it too . Looks good, feels good, now I belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abakja1 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
