My 33 came with Razo pedal covers from the dealer but I found myself blipping the accelerator when I was only trying to brake (not good!!) It was happening because the accelerator had this big triangular side that came out too close to the break. I ripped them out and now running with the stock pedals.

Two questions:

1) What brand(s), style of pedal covers have ppl got? names and/or links will suffice... but pics would be kool :rolleyes: Also, where to buy them? the local supercheap and autobarn don't have much choice. There's some on ebay but.. I'd like to be able to see more detailed pics/in real life before buying something like this.

2) My clutch pedal is set further back than the brake/accelerator pedals. If I'm seated so that I'm comfy for the brake/acc pedals then I sometimes can't clutch as easily/far as I'd like.. If i'm seated well for clutching, my legs cramp up after a while cos I'm too close to the brake/acc pedals. What can I do?

Your seating position shouldn't be dependant on where the pedals sit, it should be based on the distance where you can put your foot on the floor beneath the pedals and still have your leg bent a bit.

But that said, you can adjust the clutch position to make it more similar to the rest of the pedals.

The reason why some of them have bits that come out near the brake is to make "heel and toeing" easier.

I dont run aftermarket pedals. I find factory pedals good enough

try sitting abit closer, I adjust my seating position in relation to the clutch as your left leg is the one that will get tired as you often have to hold it on the floor, after a while you should get used to the new position..

midnight: Been driving the car two weeks now set up like so: I've based my seating position entirely on the clutch so I'm seated so that my leg is about 90-95% extended when I've got the clutch all the way in, as I don't believe I should have to stretch at all to fully clutch, just be comfortably extended. In this position my acc/brake legs are both half bent all the time (sux), much more than the clutch leg.

xRHETTx: Yeah @ heel, toe, I know.. I was just doing it unintentionally on ocassion. I figure having to reach a little further to accelerate on purpose to heel/toe is better than revving up by mistake and possibly jumping up someone's boot.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
