Stupid thing... here we go.

Just installed, I love it. Formerly known as the CWC widefoot pedal. Better than Sled Driver's. $65. Contact David Breslau at dbreslau@mit.edu to get your own. Will try to post pics.

cavellm 07-07-03 06:07 PM

Sled drivers works just fine for me!

Well, my Sled Driver pedal looks much better than that. Don't see how it'll work much better either---IIRC, I have about the same gap between my stop and my go pedal.....

Rx-7$4$me 07-07-03 06:22 PM

im sorry, but that looks HORRIBLE

maxcooper 07-07-03 06:27 PM

I have been using the "small" Widefoot pedal adapter for >3.5 years. It makes heel and toe very easy, is very nicely made, installs non-desrtuctively (no holes required), and has never given me any problems. It's a great product.

cavellm 07-07-03 06:29 PM

It does look very fugly, half rubber and half aluminum.

But if it works, more power to you guys.

maxcooper 07-07-03 06:56 PM

It's not a freaking fashion accessory! It is designed to make it easier to heel and toe with a minimum of fuss, and it meets those goals beautifully.

-Max

Wargasm 07-07-03 07:05 PM

Yeah I agree... you are worried about how the pedal looks? Who cares, I think it looks ok and I'm sure it works great. Maybe you should run down to the local parts place and look for some trendy glowing washer nozzles... :p

I tried, but they don't have 'em in yellow :(

rynberg 07-07-03 08:24 PM

I think I'm with Max, Wargasm, and Fdeez on this one. The pedal extension looks fine to me and I like that it is a "non-destructive" install, as Max pointed out.

Radical Rotary Avantgard 07-07-03 08:40 PM

It is an easy install NO holes to drill, won't decrease the legroom distance by 1/16 of an inch (I need all the space I can have), the finish is par to none, plus it is functional more than anything.
I must say that I have not seen the sled pedal, if anyone cares to post a picture.
Thanks :cool:

apneablue 07-07-03 11:05 PM

It may work great but it's still ugly... :puke:

I like the sled driver ones better too. Too bad he's been shut down.

Ditto. I've also got David's large pedal, but haven't tried it yet. Better construction and finish than the stock pedals. Perfect functionality. Minimal added weight. Track tested, right-foot-approved.

EviLPeNeviL 07-07-03 11:53 PM

Nice pedal!!

Fishy 07-08-03 05:20 PM

Fitted it some time ago. It is the large, and have found it made heel n toe a hell of a lot easier.

maxpesce 07-08-03 05:33 PM

I have SledDriver's pedals also BUT since I LEFT FOOT BRAKE my Auto the Heel/ Toe issue is moot to me - However the Wider Acclerator does feel much better under my Right Foot and his Brake pedal gives MUCH Better Grip under my left than the oem hard rubber cover. :D

FDeez 07-08-03 05:33 PM

The key to this pedal is that it sits flushed with the stock pedal. That way, when you brake, you don't have to lift your heel as high to hit the throttle. Sled driver's was okay too, but this makes heel to toe really really easy. It's polished.. so it looks better than sled driver's. However, installed it looks weird with the stock pedal, but hey, function over form. You have to try it to believe it. It's awesome!

chiminoid 07-08-03 05:45 PM

i wanted sled driver's pedals but since he's out of operation i might try this one. problem is $65 is a bit steep for a pedal adapter

Did you intentionally install it that way? It looks a bit off.

jramosrx7 07-08-03 08:04 PM

I have a Widefoot small pedal available, $35. Got it some time ago hoping it would help my "heel & toeing." I have a bad right foot (called dropfoot, due to back injury), can press down, but can't lift it without lifting my whole leg. pm me if interested.

Why did Sled Driver get shut down? Is he selling his pedals anywhere else?

Aparently he was making them at work and I guess the higher-ups didn't care for him using work stuff to produce things he was selling. Something along those lines.

jramosrx7 07-09-03 07:21 PM

BTW, see http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/body.html#PED for more info/pics of David's pedals.

Here are my peds! We may get the molds for these.

I see. I thought the forum might had shut him down. Does this mean the value of his stuff has gone up?

SanJoRX7 07-10-03 12:41 PM

How do the CWC and the Dave whathisface pedals attach? I kept seeing ppl say there were no holes required, but that would seem to imply that it's a clamp on, which is a very no-no when it comes to safety (think *vroom* *brake* *snap* *vr-idle* "OH SHIT" *crash*)

Also, is it that hard to heel-toe with the stock setup? What are you guys wearing, ballet slippers? I can heel-toe fine, but I'm not wearing super skinny shoes either.

Fishy 07-10-03 03:47 PM

Max, I was trying different positions to see which suited my style of driving/pedal work. I have now dropped it down flush with the pedal, and get on better with it like that.
