The guy who made my super carbon hirsch style kombi wing has new produce if you are interesting! :)

no joke.

these look to be Hirsch-style pedals for 9-5 I think...

I have written to ask him what the pricing is and if they can be had without the text on them. This is one of those items many people like but would never buy because who spends 500+ shipping on pedals :rolleyes: Well this guy I am fairly certain will have a reasonable price. ;)

I will update with more info here when I get it. Nice to see some new parts for these 9-5s!!!! :cool:

well, considering a I got what is normally a 300-500 dollar wing for under 200, AND in flawless carbon fiber on top of that... I would guess these are going to be much more reasonable than the Hirsch ones. :cool:

"price are $220 for 3 pedal a set.

sorry now only for auto trans.

because in Taiwan manual trans very very less."


there you go folks.

Seems like no manual set right now.

but still even here in the USA there's quite a bit of automatic 9-5s!

I wonder if the NG900 would use what he has listed under "900" or the '99-2002 9-3?

Damn no manual! I would have bought these in less than a heartbeat.

EDIT: can I just order the dead pedal? I still want that!

EDIT2: Just checked out that website that Nick posted. That looks very nice! They only list pedals for the 9-3 though---are the 9-5 and 9-3 pedals the same?

does the kit make up for the heinous gap between the gas and the brake pedal

I want an aluminum gas pedal that's about 1" thick so I can actually heel-toe in situations other than slamming on the brakes

As a matter of fact it does bring the gas pedal a little higher.

I have to bend the gas pedal a little for the new cover to
sit properly over it and that made the pedal a little higher.
Well maybe not an inch but I certainly feels and actually is
much closer to the brake pedal height now.

They are really very well made, for that price.
The whole thing is machined from solid aluminium "blocks".

In case so of you are wondering, I am not the one who's
selling the pedals, I got the contact from abdukted1456
and ordered a set.

Are the 9-5 pedals set up completely differently than the 9-3? Cause I don't have too much trouble heel-toeing... I also don't quite do it right - it's more like ball-of-the-foot - pinky-toe - ing. But it gets 'er done :)

They seem to be quite different. My NG was perfect, now in the 9-5 I can't twist the foot nearly enough to even touch the accelerator pedal while braking. I'm seriously considering adding a thick pedal pad just like ACBarnett said.

The shape of the pads is different too. 9-5 pedals are larger.

Well, it IS called heel-toe for a reason. Traditionally, you're supposed to keep your toe on the brake, and blip the throttle with your heel. That doesn't work so well on our cars.

Also, I kinda roll my foot sideways onto the gas pedal while braking gently to pull of the light-brake balloffoot-pinkytoeing.

Funny parts is that I never said they were 100% copy of viggen logo only for viggen owners. And we already decided they are not for you zach but for not liking them you asure are going to lots of trouble.. ;) Maybe you make some up and we can see what they look like?

I was making a functional part that is not slippery.. :)

Probably won't mess with them anyway. Not worth the trouble.

No need to be hostile about it... you asked if you were going in the right direction, and I gave my honest opinion. Unfortunately, I don't have the machines to make them... If I did, I would. I have many of your parts, Nick. Just thought you'd want to hear the opinions of some of your customers, but I guess not. I am not going through lots of trouble, I am just saying what I'd like to see in order for me to purchase a set. I can't speak for the entire crowd, but my voice should matter as I would be a paying customer. :lol:
