DIY racing pedals

THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE... i just need to get some self tapping screws for the gas pedal, and put the grip on the clutch and brake, but here is a pic so far:

sorry bout the crappy quality, i have a crap camera, and i had to reach and hold the gas up at the same time.

Re: DIY racing pedals (BigZ88)

They are not polished, they are grained.... you will not see the clutch/brake for the most part when i put the grip on, so who cares.. They are Mugen knock off's made as closely to the exact dimensions as i could get. If the demand is high enough and I can get my machine shop guy to hook me up, i'll prolly be able to get some to sell. the first production set is already reserved however

Re: DIY racing pedals (Panda EK)

Well, it may be a few weeks to know a price. I am going to work out the design bugs and get everything down so nothing has to be "adjusted" while installing them. So, I'll keep everyone updated as it goes.

looks good....but will your feet have grip when your the bottom of your shoes are wet? hate to see you getting into an accident if you tried to press the brakes but your foot slides off.

yes it does. I've driven with Mugen pedals, cheap pedal covers, stock of course, and stock without rubber covers and grip tape on the metal.

You are most likely to slip with stock pedals and rubber covers.

If you didn't read his post, he is throwing some grip tape over the clutch and brake
