The key is to remove the accelerator pedal completely to add the performance pedal to it. Those nuts are tiny; trying to do it upside-down in the car is insane. Take it out (using these instructions: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209687) put on the performance pedal, then replace it (I added the performance pedal while sitting on the couch and watching football). Again, I'm a dummy, if I can remove it, modify it and then replace it, then anyone can. Brake pedal (I have AT) was much harder, because I had to use those tiny nuts down inside the car and drill through metal (for the first time!).
By the way, love this site!
Thanks to all of the contributors.
I spent way more time doing research here than working with the tools, and it was time well invested. |
Sounds difficult - why did you have to drill metal?
