Found this place: http://www.srpracing.com/
The old RX-7 pedal rubbers are worn out and I wanted something neat. The brake rubber slides to a 45deg angle. Replacement rubbers cost almost as much as this whole set. This place is super reasonable, the quality is excellent and there are a ton of designs to choose from. He will also customized if you want, which I did. Comes with stainless hardware and everything. I'd say the only complaint is the 4 week lead time.
Thought I'd share. I'm going to sand the anodizing off the top of the rotor. Will post photos after the install. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Dig the rotor in the middle on the clutch/brake
Those look a lot like the ones I have in the Camaro. |

In looking at them, they look like either the same guy makes them under a different business name, or they are a complete copy of the ones I have. _________________

Your RS pedals were the idea I was after. Took a while to find an outfit that would do it for the rx. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Oh this could get spendy real quick! They have them for both my birds and the jeep. That hex option could go well on a 2nd gen with honeycombs. And the spike option could be really nice in a jeep when you've got muddy boots on and wheeling.
Sweet pedals Paul! |

I'd go with the "block" for the muddyness. The one's I got are the grid. They're small grids. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Ya, grid looked pretty smooth. The spike has conical spikes sticking out of the clutch and brake.. but throttle is smooth. Block looked aggressive as well. |

Grids now are the pyramid grid, except throttle. Since the throttle you need a little slide. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Ya, they showed quite a few more finishes on some of the ones I looked at too.
How's the old rx7 doing anyway? What have you done to/with it? Need some pics. |

Mostly maintenance stuff. Got some intake stuff prepped and surfaced for the turbo motor. Spending too much money making loud bass guitar sounds and other house stuff. Hoping to start prepping the suspension soon. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Cool, hate how the house eats up the funds. All new deck, porch roof, roof coating,and dishwasher this year.
But, I got a bass and amp not too long ago. Still can't play, probably never will with my hands and bad practice habits but its cool to play around with. Fernandes bass and Peavey amp.
