Gas Pedal Relocation Kit- Proof of Concept - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

sign me up! I already have the Cusco gas pedal plate but i still feel the gas pedal could be moved forward for easier heel toe and I wouldn't mind the gas being even closer to the brake!

Where can I buy this ?

Interested in trying this...although I always felt this car was very easy to heel toe in but if there is room for improvement then why not.

FT86 Speed Factory bought out the majority of our stock. We don't have online sales yet, but you can call the shop and we can take payment over the phone. We've got two or three left on the shelf.

Interesting thought!

One thing I notice is that in my race car (Porsche 914), the gas pedal pivots from the bottom of the pedal (like the brake pedal)
It is VERY easy to heel toe with this configuration because my Heel is what actually depresses the gas.
And this way, you have a disadvantage using the heel because you have reduced leverage against the gas pedal (which I think helps).

In the BRZ, the gas pedal pivots from the top.

So the only way I can "heel-toe" is more like "toe-toe" where the large ball of my foot depresses the brake while my OTHER ball (pinky toe) depresses the gas.

I even extended the gas pedal with the fancy "heel toe" pedal extension.
This works, but still feels a lot more awkward than the gas pivoting from the bottom.

Perhaps you could try a separate mode that makes the pedal arrangement more like a vintage Porsche?

Just a thought.

I got one of the first kits in the groupbuy. After taking some time to get used to it, I can say it was definitely a great upgrade, especially if you side-foot rather than heel-toe.

I wanted to share my first experience at the track with the G-Speed pedal relocation: It is a must have

rev-matching is now so much simpler, I was afraid the gas pedal may be too close to the brake but it is just perfect. I have not had any unintended acceleration, and the heel-and-toe process is so much easier. Actually any movement of your right foot will push the gas pedal, so even if your feet position is not ideal you can't miss rev-matching anymore.

On the street that may be a 'twitchy' setup but for the track it is perfect.

highly recommend it, actually I think this is the best interior mod you can make for the track. I Guarantee you will enjoy your day that much more!

Interested in some input from some people who went from cusco pedal to this.

philooo · 04-06-2016, 04:42 PM

I actually had the cusco pedal and then added the G-Speed kit.

The Cusco pedal is not enough, it helps a lot compared to stock, but really only by a fraction.

Right now I have both the cusco pedal AND the G-Speed kit and it is perfect

Just drunk-purchased one of these. I've known about them for a while, but was kind of hesitant on the price-to-benefit factor. I've been drinking and reviewing my track videos, and if I could heel-toe properly, that would change the world. I feel like all my trouble has been with the gas pedal being far too low and slightly too far to the right. This little thing seems like it would be perfect, and, worst case scenario, it at least looks cool as shit.

Maybe I'll regret it in the morning, but I don't think I will, and for now I'm super excited!

Really? I have the Cusco pedal and I've always thought that it was perfect. I've never found myself searching for the pedal but missing. You can always get a good enough piece of it to get the rev match even if you miss a little bit

Bring your car to the meet this weekend and I'll show you how to perfectly heel toe with it stock.
