Default Replacement pedals

Does anyone know where I can get some pedals to replace the stock ones? I want the break and gas pedal to be closer to make heel-toe shifting a little easier.

Just to give my $0.02, I think the S2000's pedals are already ideally set up for heel-and-toeing? By far, this is the easiest car that I have ever driven using the heel-and-toe method (outside of the NSX of course). I would not mess with the pedals if I were you. But hey, to each his own... right?

Later,

I agree the pedals are very good for a stock car. But when I'm h/t shifting, I prefer to break with the left side of my foot and blip the throttle with the right side (rather than using my heel). I really have to think about proper foot placement on the break or I won't be able to reach the gas with the other side of my foot. I'm just looking for some pedals that might close the gap a little.

I see your point. I use my heel and my toe literally to do the h/t.

Anyways, you might want to check out the MOMOs they have some that are both attractive and functional.

Goodluck,

I've been looking for something to modify the pedals. If you've ever driven a Miata before, you know how the pedals should be placed. Just my take on the topic.

i've asked this question a few times myself as I (too) would love it if the pedals were a wee bit closer together.

do i smell a group buy?

i heel-toe barefoot in this car as it is, but it would make it easier if they were closer.

I think the S2K setup is just about right, but if you must changs things, try http://www.allroadster.com/mall/tm230.htm
I looks like these fit over the existing pedals (good idea? I dunno) Also if you want something really funky, check the "Carbon fiber" link about half way down on the above page. The damn things have WINGS!

I just installed the OMP gas pedal that I have moved from car to car over the last 10 years.It works very well and makes heel and toeing much easier and more positive.
However,unlike a race car (I'm a retired SCCA Formula Continental driver) street cars have power brakes that allow the brake pedal to travel a fair amount.Be very careful that you dont find yourself picking up the accelerator in a hard stop.

Having said that Honda has the stock pedal face,which is thin aluminum,attached to a steel pedal with 4 pop rivets.You will need to drill them out,driving out the shanks first.Use the lowest stock hole as a guide,drill it out to take a 3/16 x 1/8 grip standard pop rivet and mark two more new rivet holes through the Momo or OMP pedal.Drill these,deburr,and install the rivets into the Honda steel pedal.
Finally drill out the stock pedal cover and stock rivet holes to 3/16 so that you can replace the stock pedal cover if you need to.
Don't get carried away and get the pedals too close.Of course if you do, you can drill out the rivets you just put in ,shift the new pedal to the left until you pick up the next parrallel row of holes, and rivet it again.
