In this tutorial, I will be instructing on how to install the same manual pedal set that is in the Toyota Celica GT-S and Lexus IS300.

Tools Needed:
Socket wrench (12mm socket and 6" Extension)
Hammer
Pin Punch (1/16")
Bowl of Soapy Water (Optional)
Heat Gun/Hair Dryer (Optional)
Razorblade (Optional)

Parts Needed:
2x Clutch/Brake Pedal cover (P/N 31321-53010)
1x Gas Pedal/Rod Assembly (P/N 78120-20790)

Out of the package, I have 2x Clutch/Brake pedal covers and 1x Gas pedal assembly from a Celica GTS. You can order them from your local dealership parts departments or online via a Toyota part site.


The Gas Pedal
With socket wrench (w/ 12mm socket and extension) in hand, head to the driver side. Slide the seat back to make some room.


You want to gain access to the gas pedal assembly.


Unhook the throttle cable and undo the two bolts mounting the assembly.



Using the pin punch and hammer, remove the pin from the GTS gas pedal assembly.




Now, do the same with the stock gas pedal.



*** You can re-widen the pin using the punch or a pair of needle-nose pliers. ***

Slide the GTS gas pedal onto the stock gas pedal assembly. Re-insert the pin through the designated hole. Then, using just the hammer, carefully hammer the pin back into place.


Once that is done, you can head back to the car and remount the gas pedal assembly


Do not forget to hook the throttle cable back onto the assembly.


The Clutch/Brake Pedals
The easy part is now over. We now need to swap the clutch and brake pedal covers.

Using your hands, peel off the clutch and brake pedal covers.



Slide the GTS clutch pedal cover starting from the bottom and work your way to the top. This may take a good amount of elbow grease and finger flesh. If you would like to ease the procedure, you can soak the pedals in soap water or heat them up with a hair dryer. I took the brute route and cut off some rubber from the top of the mounting lip of each cover.

Once you have finished mounting both clutch and brake pedal covers, you are done!


I suggest you test all three pedals to make sure everything is on snugly. If there are any questions, please post here, PM or email me.

 

That looks pretty sweet. Good job on instructions.

 

nice job miko!

 

You go boy!

 

Very nice......very nice indeed.

 

How much are the pedals? Where are my grounding wires?!

 

that seems like an awfully expensive mod. lol.

 

The IS pedal covers are quality pieces. . . but I'm also wondering how much this cost you.

 

you should attept the dead pedal thing that goes on the left.

nice job on pics/animated gifs

 

sweet! looking good man!

 

Looks beautiful! This is definately something I will do to my RS2. I'm curious on the price as well.

 

The clutch/brake pedals go for like...$5 bucks a piece. The gas pedal assembly can go for as much as $140. I was able to get it for $40 , though. It really depends on your parts department/region/hookups. :D

I've been contemplating on getting the dead pedal...but I'll have to check my roommate's GTS. I sense there'll be lots of hacking to get it to fit...also, the dead pedal is $$$..more than the gas pedal assembly!

 

this makes me miss my GTS now. Thanks alot mike!

 

after all that work, why not just get the $50 crap scion pedal covers? I see you have the clutch and brake pedal covers, but why take the time to swap out a gas pedal? seriously, i mean no disrespect, but you know something i don't know? is the shape of the gas pedal different then the scion pedal cover? Just seems like a lot of work on something, but to be fair, i thought the write up was first class, goof proof, and the pics were great.

 

Yes, the IS300 pedals have a heel/toe attachment ( a necessity if you use the technique). I don't care what the brochure says, this car is very ackward to heel/toe.

What's nice is that unlike clamp on pedals, they will never ever ever come loose, and you won't have clamps punching a hole in the carpet behind the pedal.

 

heel toe attachment? waz dat? can someone please explain in more detail? i am afraid i am unfamiliar with this subject. does the pedal pivot? it's not that i am stupid, just ignorant.

 

Nice 411

 

Notice on the OEM accelerator pedal (in the pic above), the pedal is shaped like a fat candie bar, with straight sides.

Notice on the IS pedal, there is that little nub that sticks out. That is for you to use your heel, when you heel and toe. It makes it MUCH easier. On some aftermarket pedels, they have an adjustable plate on the accelerator pedal for just this reason. But unless you drill holes, aftermarket pedals tend to come loose. I've tried cheap ones, I've tried expensive ones. . . they always come loose (the accelerator usually), no matter how hard I tighten them down.

 

Aha, it makes more sence to me when you explain like that. Thanks for the info. I have the Hayame CF pedals, but when i installed them, i put some 3m on the backs then screwed them down. I have had no problems with them since, the 3m holds them nicely w/o the screws, but i didn't want them to twist so i screwed them as well.

 

I abuse my pedals pretty badly. . . I shift as fast as possibly can (when I need to), and it involves slamming the pedals as hard as I can.

My feet move as fast as I can push the shift ****. So yeah. . . they ALWAYS come loose for me. But to the original point you made, yes, this is an expensive mod.
