I'm pretty sure you have to drill at least one if not all of your pedals.

Do me a favor, make a DSN-less connection to an Oracle DB via a web application.

Can't do it? What are you, a moron?

Just because you know how to do something, doesn't mean everyone does. Maybe he thought that the new pedals were replacements. He asked a simple question, don't flame him because you know the answer and won't share.

He's smart for asking.

Would you think he's smart if he made a post called "how to screw up your pedals installing sparcos :( "?

better to find out from someone whos done it before, because you might not be able to go back.

The clutch and break are a little off. it is Very hard to dril...... Chuck the wheels of the car even if your on the flat. and Pull the E break. that way the car won't move.

the Rubber pads pop right off exposing metal on the pedals. to line up were you want the pedals and make the holes with a permanent marker. Then get a punch and hammer and make a small dent in the metal there. (if you try to drill the pedal the drill bit will Slip all over the place) Now carefull start drilling Do NOT put your hand other behind the pedal or around it.

For the Break and clutch i pressed both in as far as they would go then drilled. but when i released the pedals were slightly off.

the clutch pedal rides slightly higher then the break.

Great, thanks for the info, and the support. I wasnt exactly keen on totally fackin up my stock pedals. Guess i've got somethin to ask for when my birthday comes around in another 2 weeks. Im gunna be ticked if my mom won't let me instal em. Shees totally against all modding. Believe it or not, she thinks its "Hickish" she always says "Kent!" or "Everett!" whenever I mention modding (you know what im talkin about PaX) She thinks that all modded cars involve hydrolics and wire rims..... Pisses me off!

I installed a set of Ractive pedals and the brake and clutch were a cince to install, but the throttle pedal was just some clips and a metal strips with no clear way to install them. Worst of all, the damn things didn't come with instructions!

I e-mailed the company, they didn't send me instructions for about 2 weeks.

Trust me, I know how frustrating it can be...
