This seems to be a popular mod amongst the MR2 community but I wanted to put my own spin on things. Here are the OEM MR2 Pedals (This is the best pic I have):

I was able to get a FULL set (Gas, Brake, Clutch, and Deadpedal) off of a guy on [newcelica.org](http://newcelica.org). They are from a 7th Gen 2000 Celica GT-S.

Gas Pedal:  
Notice the difference from the OEM MR2 and OEM Celica GT-S Gas Pedal. The Celica pedal is a different shape than the MR2 pedal.

Knock out the pin that holds the MR2 pedal to the arm and remove the pedal.

Placed the arm in a vice and bend the arm to fit the curve of the pedal and re-install the pin.

Brake and Clutch Pedal:  
The Brake and Clutch pedals are simply Rubber pads with a metal cover.

Deadpedal:  
I had to get creative with this. Most people leave the OEM Deadpedal/Foot rest because the Celica one is just too big.

 ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/MR2/Mods/DP01.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/MR2/Mods/DP01.jpg)

The problem with leaving the plastic Deadpedal is that, to me, it just does not look right. So, I decided to compromise between the two. Take the OEM Deadpedal and remove the tread.

I rough cut the tread using flat bottom wire cutters then finished them off smooth with a flat blade.

 ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/MR2/Mods/DP09.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/MR2/Mods/DP09.jpg)

Copy the image to the Celica Deadpedal. I picked the area that would not get any holes as I wanted a smooth pedal. I can always add them later if I want.

Rough cut then sanded to fit.

Now I get to tear the crap out of the Celica Deadpedal housing. I cut 2 tread pieces out, sand them from the back to get rid of the mold gussets, and then glued into place with some 5 minute epoxy.

 ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/MR2/Mods/DP11.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/MR2/Mods/DP11.jpg)

All in all it was pretty easy. It took me about 3 hours worth of work to get it all buttoned up. I will post up some pics in the car once I get a chance.

^Gotta love the overspray on the side of the dash :tdown:

EDIT: Upon closer inspection it is just glare 🙂
