A1 pedals, high def pics

funkdancer · Post by **funkdancer** » Fri May 26, 2006 11:07 pm

Hey guys, Rob @ Advantage1.com.au kindly delivered me his best pedals just prior to last weekend.

Here's some shots I took of them straight out of the box. I also got the heavy duty brake spring, dual clutch, and stabiliser, but whilst I love doing stuff like watercooling and building my own PC when it comes to anything else mechanical I've got a bit of a phobia it seems so I will try & get those added when I am feeling exceptionally energetic one day.

Remember to click the "view all sizes" link for larger images, then e.g. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id ... 481&size=l and even http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id ... 481&size=o for the complete experience

Hope they may be of some value

And yes, they work extremely well and are much better than the Momo wheel's they replace. It took some getting used to doing clutch with left and heel toe with right, even though I was comfortable doing so - with racetrack experience - in a real car, but now it's starting to get there and I've turned off all assists in LFS and am improving my laptimes.

More tracktime may have more to do with that, but all up this and also getting the TrackIR4 from Rob is coming together as a much improved racing experience.

Very true, don't know if I should get some practice with them before I use them in a race, will see what they're like

wild · Post by **wild** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 3:15 pm

They're well worth the wait anyway. Can't wait to get home and hook up the Sparco pads to give them a whirl.

Vilante · Post by **Vilante** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 3:32 pm

Definately worth the wait and money... Mine came with sparco pads

wild · Post by **wild** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 4:16 pm

I preordered one of the original sets of polished steel pedals.

Speaking of which, I'll have a spare set of polished pedals if anyone wants to buy them. They're nice, but I like the Sparcos better.

Did anyone just get the replacement pads/arms rather than the whole set? I can't figure out how to get the bearing and pillow block off the old arms

Doso · Post by **Doso** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 2:40 am

im not sure if i get what your talking about but on the bearing there is 2 small grub srews on em to hold the arms in, you need to lossen them before they will come off

Vilante · Post by **Vilante** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 2:32 pm

They have arrived

Nice little bit of kit!! Now the decisions, do I plug them in and wing it during tonights race or do I wait till tomorrow? I'm getting some heavy spiking from the momo's so I might haev to plug these in. C'mon 5pm!!

I got the brightest ones I could find, I'll take some pics
