Default Rennline Pedals

Started a cool new job at Sun Microsystems last week, so to celebrate I bought myself a little present. The pictures at Rennline.com are kinda small and mostly show 911's so I thought I'd post some pics here.

These are the aluminum pedals from Rennline. I am very impressed with the quality and I like the feel of the pedals, especially with the heel-toe extension on the gas pedal. Installation was pretty easy. You drill a couple of holes in the clutch and brake pedals, my only issue was that my drill was a little large to fit in the space I had to work with.

FYI - Rennline is running a 15% off promotion from now until Christmas.

LOL, I almost hesitated to post the pics for just that reason. Actually, I think this is it, I really don't know what the heck else I would do...

Looks really good. I see they put rubber dots on them now.. i failed inspection for mine because they were "all metal"

Someone on here I believe had the bring idea to wrap condoms around the pedals and bring it back though

Looks good though. Very nice addition.

With the rubber dots they're really pretty grippy. I'd always held off doing pedals because I was worried about the grip but with these it's not an issue. They even include a bagful of replacement rubbers...

I haven't looked under the carpet, but what's under the dead pedal? Metal? Plastic?

I know for the pedals, there are nuts that hold the screws in...

Rennline supplied self-tapping screws that are designed to thread into the frame rail. The combination of the carpet and the padding was too thick for the length of the screws so I ended up using two-sided tape. Seems to be holding fine, the dead pedal is obviously a lot less critical than the others.

I have installed quite a few sets of redline pedals, though not on 944's. It seems like no matter what brand pedals you install, you have to run to the hardware store to get the correct screws, lol. The ones in the kits seem to never work. I would definitely drill them though, but instead of using self tapping screws (except for the deadpedal where you don't have a choice), use a small stainless machine screw with a nut and washer. The self tapping screws have a tendency to work their way loose, and you get a floppy aluminum pedal. Looks good!

Love the Rennline pedal sets, they look great, especially in such a tasteful interior like your's gregeast.

I for one could never bring myself to drop the coin for a set (or two) so I ended up getting something a little more shall we say 'gruff' in appearence...



Not nearly as sophisticated looking as the Rennline's but will suffice, and it worked out to about half the cost. Still those Rennline's look fantastic, congrats.
