Pics from installing of Sparco Pedals
Just wanted to share some pics from when I mounted my Sparco pedals, they’ve been there for a while now but I just learned how to post pics…
Don't worry, I put some Gorilla Grip from my surfboard on the brake and clutch...
Flushed the brakes at the same time as well:
Love the pedals, makes heel-toe with my size 8 shoes a peace of cake!

Re: Pics from installing of Sparco Pedals (WittTypeR)
I got the same pedals except I used the rubber grip on all pedals.
Brake/Clutch = 3 Rivets
Gas = All have rivets.
Those thing are a pain if you dont have the correct tools to use. I had to use an air compressed drill. Those hand held drills wont do the job. I also had to grind away from the backside because the lever was in its way. Mine are black = sleeper =

I saw those at the last drag races I attended. I don't remember how much they where though.
SWEDISH ITR, who is the manufacturer of that lift and how much $$$ did it cost?

Re: Pics from installing of Sparco Pedals (Dark R)
Alright Vegeta, this one is for you!
It's not that bad but I knew all the comments would be about my crack if I didn't do something... you got me anyway though.
-rob (01TypeR680), who commented surfing in Stockholm, this is what that looks like:
I prefer surfing in France or Indo myself... It's not that easy with the 5mm wetsuit on.
To Floyd and dohcgarage, who asked about the lift, I don't have a clue about the brand and cost of that.
It's in the garage that the car club at my work has.
Actually it's not that great, I have to push the car (instead of driving it) up on it since its centerparts are too high and would touch the exhaust if I was sitting in the car. (and my car is not even lowered...)

Ok, got another picture of the pedals while out for lunch (had swedish meatballs if you wanted to know..).
It may look a bit weird, but that’s mainly from the fact that the clutch pedal sits a bit higher than the brake, and of course the not so easy work to drill in the pedals…
Might have to exchange the Gorilla Grip with some griptape too as it starts to wear in the corners.

Re: Pics from installing of Sparco Pedals (Flux)
I don't understand why you bought those pedals if they offer no grip and you have to go through all of this just to make them functionally acceptable. Why not just buy some pedals that offer better grip in the first place?
Also I only paid 25 dollars for them (here in Sweden), compared to 45 as it says on the web site:
http://www.sparcousa.com/ptuning_pedals.asp?id=304
They do actually come with rubber inserts for the holes, so there's nothing wrong with the grip. I just didn't have the time at the moment to put them in the holes so I went with this solution instead.
There's good grip as it is right now also, I tried them at the track last weekend when I got my racing license and I didn't have any problems.
