Momo Vx

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

I just received my "MOMO" stuff today and just finished adding it to my VX's interior!

Now if we can only get the Speedhut group buy to fly I'll be on my way to customizing my VX!

I saw that cell phone holder here in town at a shop called Racin'X and thought it was pretty nifty too. :-) And it's the neatest feeling to walk into a shop like that which sells Recaro seats and know I have some that look better than them and they're stock.

My only concern was that I thought the Momo stuff I've seen didn't match the interior close enough, but yours seems to be pretty close.

I found these pedal pads at a lower cost that look pretty good:

Hey, I like that carpet Isuzu Ironman.

To bad I didnt get them when i got mine????

Speaking of shifter knobs and such, I once saw one that looked like a hand and you "shook hands" with it when you shifted. Pretty cool looking... anyone seen these or know where to find them?

I bought a set of these pedals. DO NOT BUY THEM FOR THE VX.

They suck... badly.

The break pedal is WAYYYY too big and interferes with the gas pedal cover if you have both on and there's no way to adjust them so they don't.. they are just so big that even at their farthest to the left and right they still contact each other... so when you go to stop, it hits the gas.

You can BARELY use the brake pedal w/o the gas pedal cover... and it looks ok, but not that great.

What model of Momo pedals are those?

I don't think so. Can't take credit for it. No siree. Absolutely not. Someone else found the site and I merely commented about it (gauges that is). The thought of recommending that to someone else makes me ill. Bleah... The last thing I would ever do to a VX.

The logo is on the mats, which are still available; I ordered a set when mine came without them too.

SKU: GPA1112 - Pedal Pads - MOMO Grand Prix Automatic Red

found at http://www.imotorgear.com/product.as...d=21010000P038

*warning...they give you measurements in the instructions as to the distance between brake pad and gas pedal so you don't mount them too close. I did have to shift my brake pedal pad to the far left when mounting to achieve the desired distance. I'm happy with how it turned out!

God...I try to give someone credit and they throw a hisseyfit!

Never mind....forget about it....jeeze! For the record...I didn't like their gauges...prefer speedhuts!

You call that a hissfit? You're a very sensitive young man. Speedhut deal is about as good as dead. Let it go.

BTW, www.sportscar-parts.com has a good selection of Momo and Sparco gear.

so jolly roger..

did you have to do any drilling or anything with the momo pedals, or did they fit as intended? I had been thinking about getting a set, but i know that sometimes you have to drill for those things, and i didn't want to do something that permanent!

thanks,

The ones that require you to drill are the ones that work the best. Clip on pedals are only for looks and aren't suited for everyday use.

Sparco has a nice set (drill and bolt on): http://sportscar-parts.com/mivastore...tegory_Code=10

Yep...Paul is right...I have the "clip-on's" on my Fiero and they took alot of "fussing" with to get dependable...and even then they could come loose. The drilled and mounted are the way to go!

As far as the drilling goes...I mounted my brake pedal as I said earlier (after measuring from gas pedal) as far as possible to the left and actually let the top left hole dictate this as I only drilled 3 holes into the pedal and used a cone washer with rubber backing on the 4th (left-bottom) hole as a "clip". The pedal was very tight even without the 4th hole...but for extra insurance I attached the "washer-as-clip" and tightened down the screw thereby pinching the pedal assembly between the washer and MOMO pad.

If you look at the brake pedal using the larger photo you can see some of the outline of the left side of the metal O.E.M. brake pedal through the holes of the MOMO pad and see that it just misses the left bottom hole. If you center the pad onto the pedal it will be too close to the gas pedal.

The gas pedal only has 2 holes to drill...and if you center the pad
onto the O.E.M. pad the holes will narrowly miss interfering with reinstallation onto pedal rod. I used a vise to hold the MOMO pad onto the O.E.M. pad and made sure it was centered before
drilling. Hope this doesn't scare anyone off...it really wasn't hard
to do. I'm a locomotive assembler by trade...lol...always making stuff that doesn't quite fit as directed appear seamless in design!


For the record...the shift knob...harness pads...cell phone holder required zero alterations/deviations from instructions.

If you ever want to go back to stock setup the O.E.M. rubber pad will easily go back onto the pedal and cover up the 3 very small holes....no one will ever know the wiser! The gas pedal would either be reused with two small holes in it or cover up/fill in
the holes or replace the plastic pedal!

Have any of you ever noticed the VX-02 in Mission to Mars with the MOMO harness pads?
