When the United States federal government extends you the distinguished honor of joining the 33% tax bracket, time is money.

A true "sport pedals" mod requires three pedals. Suggest you grab a spatula from the kitchen and duct tape it to the underside of the dash to make the "clutch".

I guess this is your attempt to have cheap racing pedals for your ricermobile! Good Luck with it!

PS. I have seen some pretty cool looking spoilers on ebay! They are pre-loved and have been sat on before at parks.

Got it.

This is just Pseudomaniac's way of protesting the fact that his posts got deleted in the "Acura TL Race Pedals" thread.

I'm on-call 20 weeks a year for 150+ hospitals /health networks across the US and Canada that run my company's software. Basically it means staying close enough to my home or office to drop everything and connect to them within 30 minutes of any reported problems. Normally, I'll get called once or twice a weekend; but they pay well to have me available in such fashion. I generally stay home-body for the weekend and as the Netflix selection sucks lately, I get bored. You'll know it's one of my on call weeks when my post count is 20 a day...lol.


So...should I put these into mass production, become a vendor for the forum, and then only post when I'm trying to sell things?

This of course would mean instead of contributing to the forum with my 17 years of Honda/Acura experience on a daily basis, I would only only spend time reading my own threads to make sure I didn't have to run and tell my mommy that the other kids were making fun of me.

I really don't understand wha your problem is. The man is selling pedals for $100. Many people like them and buy them. Ya you can get similar pedals from eBay for cheaper but I can get most stuff I buy in the store cheaper from eBay. However I prefer to buy stuff where I can get customer service if I need to and have somebody back up their product. Neither mentality is wrong; do whatever floats your boat but why the need to call him out all the time and then to go to these lengths to make fun of him. Your really showing your maturity levels..

My connotation of "enthusiast" as it pertains to the automotive industry would be something I associate with one of the many vehicles I've customized to improve handling, horsepower, functionality, pride of ownership, stopping ability and curb appeal. Trinkets like this do nothing for me, and I loathe the element that every peddler of illuminated door sills, seat belt pads, led spray nozzles, clamp on exhaust tips, caliper covers, chrome molding trim, universal shift knobs and yes, pedal covers, feels like there is any value that they bring (or rather takes away from) the scene.

I'll put a few grand under the hood, into the suspension and into the stereo. If you need customer support on pedal covers...yeah, that about says enough. $100 will fill a nitrous bottle twice; worry less about what that pedal looks like and more about how your car moves with your foot on it.

Are you serious?? You do realize that the world is not filled with people like you right? Some people want to upgrade the sound system in the car; even though i think it's perfect. Who the hell am I to tell them to not put money into their sound system?? I think it's retarded to put money into the engine. I think the engine is fast enough and any money you put into it will have a negligible effect. That's my opinion. Do whatever u want it's your money. He obviously had great success in the 3G forums selling these pedals. He's trying to sell them here now. It's called capitalism. Grow up

The world is not filled with people of this mind set; you are correct sir. That's why they call people like me "enthusiasts". We have these things called "car forums" where we meet other like minded people and share our experiences. Occasionally some pep boys wannabe trinket salesman want to insert themselves into our conversations; and many would agree it's unwelcome.

Don't lecture me on capitalism sir; I assure you as a business owner I'm quite familiar. You might consider that importing these Chinese trinkets isn't doing anything substantial for our economy.

If you're not here to discuss vehicle modification, which you've clearly stated is not your interest; then why are you here at all?

^^ sold the 300WHP 6 speed CL and my S2000 after I bought the TL; clutches, coupes, convertibles and car seats don't mix it seems. Ive got a j32a2 and a 6 speed CL trans to rebuild for a civic chassis once the little guy can hold a wrench.

Figures - the same donkeys here in 4G like each others posts. The aftermarket for the TL is few and far between. We have exceptional sponsors and vendors that take time and money to make us enthusiasts products for our cars. If you want to save 30 dollars go on Ebay and buy the knock offs. No one is stopping you. I'm sure you can buy a 20 dollar supercharger as well. Good luck with that.
