View Full Version : STi pedal in GC8...how??? ghostdriver 05-30-2007, 10:42 PM i did search for the answer but didnt find much of anything helpful. im not much of an engineer so can anybody give me some suggestions on how i might be able to mount an 04 sti gas pedal into my 98 L? its all but halted my swap progress... scubydrew 05-30-2007, 11:33 PM ECS makes a pedal bracket for the drive by wire. www.eastcoastswappers.com ghostdriver 05-30-2007, 11:40 PM wow how could i have missed that...i feel dumb. thank you sir. crazyGC8 05-31-2007, 07:36 AM I highly recommend this piece, saves a lot of trouble;) MixeD_MenacE 05-31-2007, 08:54 PM agreed, I calibrated mine to read 100%. Drops the pedal down to the stock height. ECS FTW! Rabidbyte 06-01-2007, 12:36 PM I can vouch for the part. It's well made, I just wish they made it work for the 06 FBW pedel. I had to rig mine to work. supasweetr34skyline 06-01-2007, 04:03 PM i did the whole wrx pedal box.. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j60/supasweetr34skyline/swap/gdpedalsaftermod.jpg :D punkrocksailor 06-01-2007, 05:18 PM It's pretty easy to make a bracket just by welding some nuts to some metal stock and some holes in another. ghostdriver 06-02-2007, 12:15 AM that group of pedals doesnt really help with the gas pedal unfortunately, it provided me with no problems though. and im not up to date on my welding skills so i just ordered the bracket... crazyGC8 06-02-2007, 01:31 AM i did the whole wrx pedal box.. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j60/supasweetr34skyline/swap/gdpedalsaftermod.jpg :D FYI, this will not work well....;) I've already tried it!! The clutch pedal pushes and puts pressure on that edge you said to cut(cause it doesnt bolt up, right?). It will pull that bracket down on that side and create unnecassary problems with your clutch. You might wanna reconsider, get the bracket!! It doesnt work well because the "fixed" washers(where the clutch master cylinder bolts on) are thicker on the STi pedal assembly, than the RS. supasweetr34skyline 06-02-2007, 01:02 PM i havnt had any problems so far... not even one hint of flex. im in a brighton, so maybe that might make a difference? i went from cable to hydro 555 WR 07-16-2007, 06:35 PM hey, just got my wrx clutch box for my 96 coupe and coming from cable, entire dash and everything is out, held that same box up and it sticks out too far because the metal bushings i guess you could call them sticking out surrounding the brake booster mounting holes, i will have to evenly cut them down until its just right to mount up the pedal box, this flexxing you mention, is there anyway to secure that end? i'll be racing in the spring, cars only purpose so i have to have that right |
