Autovation Pedals Installed

I know this is from an old post.....but I never saw anyone post pictures....so here they are installed-




I had a problem with the clutch & brake pedals they sent initally, but within two weeks, I had two new pedals designed completely from scratch on my doorstep. Definately top notch customer service.

I don't think you can go wrong for the price. They are very nice. If you notice in the pic, the accelerator has a heel & toe spot built in on the lower left. This makes heel & toe a snap....I just have to roll my foot to the right while I'm braking and it hits that space perfectly....and THIS is the main reason I wanted some new pedals....but hey- looking cool doesn't hurt, right?

I like them....where did you get them from?!

http://www.autovation.net/

You can get every style imanginable (grid marks, rubber inserts, etc.). These are the competition series. I was sceptical about the grip without the rubber inserts.....but holy crap- these have more grip than the stock rubber covers if you can believe it.

Did I mention the price? $100 for everything including the foot rest....the ones with the inserts and designs are a little more.

how did installation of the footrest go? what is it attached to and how is it attached? does it seem secure?

thanks in advance.

The footrest backing (under the carpet) is just thick foam (see this thread- http://forums.swedespeed.com/zerothread?id=40397). The provided screws are self tapping, so they just grab onto the foam. I also added a dab of epoxy on the footrest before attaching it (I did this on all the pedals). I constantly keep my foot there while I'm driving and it seems secure and hasn't moved or come loose........gotta love epoxy http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

i'll prolly order a set tonight then. Did you need to pre tap the pedals for the it to be screwed in?

Yes- you need to drill the holes first on the gas, brake & clutch....you have to use a centerpunch for the brake because it is metal and there is not much room for error. You can just screw the footrest in though.

Re: Autovation Pedals Installed (hiwinds)

Just a tip for those considering (I got Ultimate pedals from Alan, they are lovely): Get a titanium coated drill bit for the metal brake and clutch pedal plates. A standard black oxide one won't event make a dent. Also, when drilling the holes for the footrest put a piece of tape around the drill bit to guide how deep you go. There is wiring under there so drill as shallow as possible.

the Autovation pedals are a great deal, I saw those awhile back. I went with Ultimate since they had more custom options. You'll also notice the shape of the footrest is different, and lacks a flange. I have a GT, so heel-toe is not an issue for me. http://********************/smile/emcocktl.gif
