I along with im sure alot of yall hate the location of the factory brake pedal which makes it very hard to heel toe I just watched the video and was wondering if this was a off the shelf pedal box and if anyone knows where i can buy it or any tips on installing such pedals DIY

Whats wrong with the OEM brake and clutch pedal?
ive always found the oem brake pedal too close to the gas pedal where as these seem to be not only more spaced out but evenly spaced out, with the 1k+ hours I have simracing im wanting pedals I can be more conistant in, in my FiST

It's hard to tell from that tiny video insert screen, but I doubt that car is using an aftermarket, racing type brake/clutch pedal box (I am not even sure they are allowed in the Limited FWD class in which that FiST competes, even though the Wilwood gravel spec/size fixed caliper brakes it uses are).

Yes, I could not blow up the screen to that size, that is definitely a bottom pivot, aftermarket, pedal box.

I guess that they are allowed in that class after all, along with the better fixed caliper brakes, being considered a 'safety item'. [thumb]

You could try calling/emailing/texting Thompson Racing Fabrication (the ones who prepped that car) and asking them about what was involved with installing that pedal box, and if it is possible to do on a not fully gutted FiST.
