Gas pedal extension options?

I'm looking to extend the gas pedal for blipping it while braking and downshifting on the track. Anyone have any recommendations and pricing?

I prefer these pedals over CWC's because I hate the way the stock accelerator pedal looks - plus these brake and clutch pedals grip the hell out of your shoe.

I'm trying to contact the guy that Crooked Willow says deals with them now. I guess Crooked Willow doesn't want to sell them anymore.


The srpracing pedals look like they have near stock spacing between the gas and brake. Are these really any good for heel toe down shifts?

The picture is deceiving then because the spacing is nowhere near stock.

Notice the white FD and red Viper on the site? Those belong to the guy that makes these pedals. The pic of the pedals for a manual tranny car is his car, and the auto pedal set is my car (he custom made them for me). The second gen. belongs to his brother. And the FD is just used as a track car.

I remember hearing rumblings a few months back that Dwayne didn't want to have to deal with the general public anymore when it came to his parts so I don't even look at what crookedwillow has to offer anymore. Maybe he sells stuff if you run into him on a track?

Seriously, they work great, I have a set.

Hey Viper Jr,

How much closer is the side of the gas pedal to the brake as compaired to stock? I've been looking at the Crooked Willow extension but if the others are nice and close like the CWC it would be nice to have a matching set.
Thanks

The spacing is actually up to you or the person who installs the pedals. To install them, you drill your stock pedals and these bolt down onto them. Where the difference from stock comes in, is in the accelerator pedal - I didn't measure mine with a ruler, but just feeling it right now, I'd say its about 1/2-3/4" (maybe even an inch at the widest point) wider than the stock accelerator pedal.

If you look at the picture here - you can see the stock accel pedal underneath so you can see teh width deifference.

Oh yeah - anyone who is interested in these and contacts SRP, please let them know how cool you think it would be if he'd make a matching drilled footrest to replace the black plastic thing on the side. I've been bugging him to make one for months

Dr.Wankel's sig reminds me of a "Where's Waldo?" poster.

Is that a Viper or an RX-7 furthest to the left and that's blue?
