Where to buy "heel/toe" shaped gas pedal?
This is a photo I took of PD's First86 a few weeks ago, which didn't have the diagonally shaped gas pedal meant for cool Initial D techniques :P So where can we get one?

I assume someone will import them. They are both actually just pedal covers as far as I know.

They aren't needed for heel toe.. I had no problem with HT in the cars I've sat in. Much much easier than my current car is.

That accelerator pedal looks awfully short for those us who like to use our heels on the gas pedal without twisting our ankles all to shit. Maybe Toyota is making them shorter to avoid getting sued when the pedals get interfered with by improperly-placed winter mats (shades of the stuck-throttle mess).

Toyota part number 78101-20150 (pedal from a 7G Celica GT-S) might be what you're looking for, but I don't know for sure if that will fit or not (this is meant to fit a metal rod with a 4mm pin holding it on), it would have to be tested. If it's more of a plastic pedal, it might not fit.

Even the Japanese Toyota website has the shorter/smaller accelerator pedal, so there is no way to import them (may be we can take it off from a pre-production car).
from: http://toyota.jp/86/001_p_001/interi...ior/index.html Good thing is I still have a set of aftermarket pedals sitting around. If I find myself cannot heel-toe easily with the stock pedals, I will swap these with the stock. |

Those sir, are amazing. AND they should be a direct bolt on cross over from the 08+ STi. Last edited by mines13; 05-16-2012 at 04:24 PM. |

(08 STi pedal assembly) Interesting, the STi pedal kits should be identical for the FR-S/BRZ. The pedals themselves are exactly the same. |

I'll have to dig up some sites I had bookmarked for aftermarket pedals. Actual pedal replacements and none of the pedal cover business...

if you can't heel toe the stock pedals...you can't heel toe....
and before you start, my feet are probably bigger than yours and that doesn't make it any easier. |

The driving position in this car is going to be the most benifitial for heel toe IMO. In my STI The seats were too high and being a bigger guy my leg was prone to hit the bottom of the steering wheel.
