Oooo, nice idea. If you could provide a year range for the Integra/RSX and part numbers, that would be great. Well played, sir.

I must be missing something in here
Why would one go through the trouble of putting the NSX-R pedal (cutting or welding) when AutoVation's pedals are superior in functionality especially when it comes to the gas pedal
Because the NSX-R is mad tyte JDM, yo.:biggrin: Seriously, I just like the look of the NSX-R pedal better and the modification is not that difficult. Different strokes for different folks, ya know?
I've had the OMP pedals for years. My only complaints are the grid can be tough on my bare feet and they get really hot when outside temperatures are over 100F. Of course if you wear shoes this is not an issue.
If you measure for installation with your driving shoes on, there might not be enough space for your regular runners and you could find yourself hitting the edge of the brake pedal while using the throttle.

I have the SOS/autovation type and I still couldn't heel and toe well. I have big feet. So I moved the gas pedal further left, by about 1/4" or more. Much better now, but still better with some shoes over others. I find smoother pedals better too, the super grippy grid kind don't let me turn my foot well and fast enough.
Thank you for that link.

Don't know the autovation pedals personally so can't comment but my old rubber pads had worn down so I put the aluminium covers on and found that when the soles of your shoes were wet they had a tendency to slip so I put the R covers on and my feet don't slip now, maybe it don't rain much where you live. It took all of two minutes to cut and weld the new gas pedal which was easier than fixing the old one to what Advan has shown..
Everyone to their own...

Me too - we must shop at the same place.... :biggrin: IMHO they are essential to permit one to heel and toe in the NSX. At C$48 they are a true bargain for a quality product and, if OMP is good enough to make Michael Schumacher's race suits, they are good enough for my pedals.

Hi.
My name is Mike <hi, mike> and I have eBay pedals.
That's right. Mugen knock-offs for about 20 bucks. I got them to see if I would like the Mugen style pedal surfaces as they are quite different from the classic all metal and metal/rubber nub surfaces found on most aftermarket pedals.
Installation was easy. And I do like them. I never drive bare-foot, though, and I imagine the clutch and brake pedal surfaces might be a bit uncomfortable to the average bare-footed tenderfoot.
I'll be ordering some Mugens soon. Expensive, but sweet.

My right foot is a very narrow size 8-1/2 and I have no problem heel and toeing. The left tab on the aftermarket gas pedals certainly helps but I have learned that if twist your foot enough even a small foot like mine can easily heel and toe.

Those pedals will not do a single thing to make you a better driver nor will they do a single thing to make your car perform better.
And look what you told us about yourself:
"I am more of a "cruising" kind of driver than a track driver. The car's main purpose is fun road trips with the wife, so I am not sure I will ever master the heel/toe driving technique and am not really concerned about that."
If that is a good description of you and your driving style then why on earth would you waste your money and time on these silly silly little pedals?

Thanks for all the photos Osiris_x11, really helps to see them IN the car and not just floating on a brochure.
Mine is cosmetic also. Were so wasteful.

My foot is too big to be able to rotate my heel onto the pedal. If I did that my toes are up on the brake arm not on the pedal. I have to use the right side of my foot to blip the throttle. Works great with my street shoes. With my piloti shoes the sole slips into the gap between the two pedals. Can even get stuck slightly... I am going to move my gas pedal even closer.
Pedals need to be adjustable IMO.
