Hi.

I wanted to explore putting in a heel/toe pedal (rennline has an awesome set up)....and wanted to see if the current pedals could be matched so as to minimize cost....

Does anyone recognize the brand?

Thoughts and ideas are welcome...like could the rennline add-ons be worked to work with these, etc.

I am practicing for the upcoming DE...it is more difficult than one would think at first...but is coming along. Trust me, I could use the help....

Those look like ultimate pedals.

THANKS....went there and they look like the right thing. You are super, again, thanks.


(heel toe shifting now..so I am going for the bigger gas pedal....)

 

JB,

I use to have a foot extension when I first started to heel/toe. It is helpful when you first learn, but really it is unnecessary. The pedals in the 911 are actually placed in a perfect position for heel/toe. I eventually took off the pedal extension, because I would hit it sometimes during hard braking (eg the track).

You might want to see how things go before placing a new pedal. On the other hand, since your pedal is already drilled, it will be very easy for you to switch back and forth.

 

I agree with Seattle sun that the 996TT pedals are well placed for heel and toe.......strictly speaking I don't think you need to change the pedals to get them properly placed. However, the metal ones look better and probably don't hurt anything either. Just be aware of getting too much of an extension on the gas pedal. In the heat of the moment on the track it can be very easy to get a combination brake/throttle which can be very "interesting" to sort out!

 

Thanks guys.

The ultimate pedals guys were super and acutally sent me PDF's of their three pedals in real sizing....my pedals are not theirs...seems custom by a Boston shop....I'll never really know. They are very nice and I have no issues...save heel-toe use/learning/etc.


So, I got to looking at the rennline kits mostly because they have been very nice when I have talked to them at the swap show these last 3 years..... They have extensions you can play with...red/black/siler...the ones for the perforated pedals (theirs) seem to be able to be added. I don't mind doing a little drilling.....anyone try this at home? Id Est adding them to non-rennline product (gas pedal)?

TIA.

Advice taken. My money might be better spent on good shoes...on the street it seems almost impossible to practice.

I think the Rennline stuff looks pretty good. I have no experience using it, but it does dress up the interior of the car. My rubber pedals are now getting a bit scruffy looking. If you don't mind drilling the holes you don't have much to lose here.

 

Well, I took the gas pedal off and it had pencil and drill marking on the back...clearly the prior owner had it made to order. I suspect the material is exactly the same as that used by ultimate pedals.


So, what did I do. Both ultimate pedals and rennline offered advice...rennline's guy gave my son a bunch of freebies at the last Hershey swap meet so I went with rennline. Ordered there extension addition for non-rubber dot pedals. It came in under 48 hours....and I did not pay for fast shipping. I drilled it out for my pedals holes, painted the part behind the current gas pedal with black engine high temp semi gloss black paint, and put the whole thing in the car.

No issues. It has a gap between the pedal and the extensions where a native rennline pedal would not have a gap...so I'll probably get a rennline set one day, but for me for now, no issues. Cheapest option.

Another "props" for ultimate pedals . . . i've the exact same frosted/non-slip pedals with "Porsche" engraved into the deadpeadal . . . turned out great!!
