Default pedal mod

i got bored (considering my pc is getting repaired (see "Kentucky Fried Radeon" under video cards)) so i modded my microsoft sidewinder precision pro pedals.

i screwed some aluminium plate over the plastic pedal, and it look rally-like and hell mad. also gives accelerator more grip on my shoe :P


will post pic later this arvo

heh, i already put proper car pedals on mine, but the accelerator one kept comming off and a screw dropped inside the pedal casing :P


Pedals are metal with a rubber insert to enable superior grip for technical racing

wouldnt want ur foot to slip and have ur ankles sliced open by the metal :P

IMO easier just to buy some cheap sports pedals from autobarn for ~$20

the edges of the aluminium is folded under the backs of the pedal, so no sliced ankles. The heads of the screws are very grippy, and i wont need rubber inserts.

got my comp back yesterday! yay!
