aluminum pedal set mazdaspeed

[brickisred]

Just wanted to show off my new aluminum pedal set. Got it off ebay from mazdagear.com. He's got another set up now:

Install was just a matter of removing the rubber and drilling some holes. Like 'em so far...(alright)

I like the look, but I've always kind of worried about those things when your feet are wet. Do they get real slippery?

 

[brickisred]

Don't know about wet, but I haven't noticed a bit of difference so far.
I just put them in yesterday however so time will tell...

They do have some sharp edges on them around the holes which hopefully will add some grip.

They're nice...can you tell me how they feel barefoot? Are the sharp edges too sharp for feet? I do a lot of barefoot driving (I prefer sandals when it's warm, and barefoot is safer than flip flops!) and was just curious because I like the look of these...

Same here, I do bare foot three pedals in summer a lot. I got mazdaspeed pedals tho, just for the look and a little higher gas pedal..

Don't know that I'd want to drive barefoot on these. They are fairly sharp/angular. It's illegal to drive barefoot in NC so I won't be doing that anyway...

C'mon MazdaSpeeder! Everyone already thinks we're all shoeless hillbillies without you driving around proving it! lol

You coming out to Iroquois Saturday? Shoes are optional!

barefoot down in FL, where, i think it's illegal here too, but, i live in flip-flops

I"ve got those pedals....and they do get slippery when wet....especially with a little oil or grease....If they are just wet, not so bad, but add any oil or soap and they are GREASY...

And they are fine barefoot...I've never had an issue...

Oh and these aluminum gets hot as well. There were one hot afternoon after swimming, I had to choose b/w my flip-flops(too large->unsafe), my gf's flip-flops(small, white yellow with flower decoration) and get feet burnt. I chose the yellow flip flops.

how expensive were they and were they easy to install?

 

[brickisred]

$60 including shipping. Comes with instructions, just drill some holes and bolt them in. Took me an hour or so to install, but only because I was in direct sun in 95 weather. Had to pace myself...

I remember it took me a while to install the brake and the clutch ones. I only used a flat screwdriver tho...but it's nothing near hard, just a little frustrating when you can't get that thing onto the metal plate.
