Paul, driving pedals, that is easy! they make a big difference on the track with racing shoes. Those rubber things that come stock are, well, ok I guess

No question, as far as tracking or enthusiast driving, the pedals are definitely a noticeable enhancement. Also, the look of getting into a car, especially yours OG, with an all aluminum pedal system is just too cool. Changes the entire perception of the car. IMHO . . . BTW Happy B-Day, mine is this month too. I am allowed a Motive Power Bleeder, ATE blue fluid and some pads! Oh, and I get the time allotment to do all the install myself.

OG-

I already have the pedals so my vote is for gauges. I would love some for my C4S. Count me in on a group buy.

Oh, and congratulations on your "made" status!!

Thanks,
Mike

Go for the pedals! Oh, and dont forget the dead pedal..
Count me in (partially) for the tach mod if they will do it..

instruments: you will see them every second that you are in your car. i am sure racing pedals are cool, but how much of a difference do they really make (my feet do not slip off the stock pedals)?

OOOH - I like Chris' idea. Can I get that in white? How about a boost guage for the clock, while we are at it.

that tach goes to 10k rpm, but my redline is a little over 6k; is the red line on the TT different than the C(2/4)?

I bought the rennline adjustable pedals and could never get them right so I put the stocks back on and have been happy since. It also helped that almost every 964 and 996 Cup Car I looked at had the stock pedals.

This is what I was referring to:
I got a ride in VB's TT last weekend and his tack and speedo are adjusted like that with a boost guage replacing the closk. Weird to watch at first, but I could definitely see the advantage to having your redline TDC. In white or silver of course...

I called North Hollywood today at 4PM I was stuck in a Flt test meeting ALL DAY long,
so the owner was gone. I have to get back to him tommorow and see about group pricing.

Kary I am still picking up the bleeder and fluid as soon as all the Christmas bills come in!
If thats OK with you!

Default Do pedals, skip guages

OG, the problem i found after having my guages done was that the idiot lights are almost impossible to see. They DO NOT come out exactly like the colored guage option from the factory. On the other hand, I love the AJ-USA racing pedals and have them in all but my 356 cab! enjoy whatever you choose to do. BTW, tell me more about your TT.
