The Pedals...

Hey guys,

I cant tell from the pictures, but are the pedals going to be stepped INTO the floor (like an arcade game), or are the things that they usually hang from (drawn in green) just not visible? Know what I mean?

Just wondering that's all.

TYIA!

I really hope the pedals are adjustable, although I doubt it, I'd like them closer together for heel-toe-ing. At least the gas pedal to the left. No?

I'm fairly sure they are like your picture, hanging from the top.

So like a normal car then, right?

What's that circular thing beneath the gas pedal then?

Probably just a stop that the pedal hits rather than digging into the carpet. Or I could be full of it since I'm just guessing and it could be something totally different.

That's it. My Lexus had that, where it clicks when the pedal is all the way floored, it pretty much told me when I was insane

That's the auto version. Black circle thing behind the accelrator will be the auto kick-down switch most likely. Basically when you push the accelerator down far enoug to press the button in, it will cause the transmission to shift down.

There are cases where just pushing the accelerator down (without pressing the switch) will cause the transmission to downshift, but this only happens depending on revs you're at, and other things like that. The difference with the kickdown switch is that as long as the engine will not go over it's rev limit, then it should downshift, provided you'll have some time in the lower gear before having to upshift again. This should be optimised by Toyota/Subaru before te car is released.

Yah, like I said, I had to bend my laptop screen to like a 30degree angle towards me in order to see that they're hanging lol. Did I highlight 'em correctly in this picture? Looks normal to me now hehehehe. Btw, that footrest on the left looks like crap. It's just a metal plate attached to the floor lol.

Personally I prefer a floor mounted pedal, but I can get used to this.

That's good? A lot of DBW systems still have lag and suck ass. Hopefully this one does not have any lag. I'd hope they removed it but then Honda failed to on the Civic Si. At least the NSX and S2000 had good DBW systems.
