One of the EVO X owner's buddies posted this on NASIOC. I thought it was funny as hell.
Who in their right mind makes a pedal out of plastic?
Mitsubishi -1

OMG 40k worth of crap.
Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
I can top it my girlfriend's '97 Sidekick's clutch pedal arm broke. TWICE. And it was metal. Both times it broke right at the weld where the arm meets the shaft that runs cross-wise to the clutch cable.
Now that's quality engineering.

Evos do look like nice cars, but Mitsubishi is not very reliable. Save your comments..... I have seen first hand. Not so much with an evo, but with eclipse by many.

It is terrible for something like that to happen... but from what i hear, plastic pedals are the new trend with drive by wire cars like the evo,sti,etc...

haha i guess going lightweight means cheaping out on materials now a days. but even if it doesnt break now shouldnt the plastic weaken after years of use on the clutch? If someone were to upgrade to a heavyer pressure plate would it work for long?

^ it was the gas pedal that broke, not the clutch.
I would assume the clutch/brake are still metal.

see... i've always dreamed of owning an eclipse... it's been on my Wanted list ever sence 1990-1991 when i really saw some action out of one...
But its crap like this that makes me cower to actually get one... that and the one a few years ago that kept blowing engines, STOCK engines
~Sigh~
So beautiful, but so many problems, so unreliable, Great ride, but will never last in the long run... Kind of like most of the girls i've dated

Hey....take it easy on mitsu guys, my 01 Galant GTZ has been good to me since i bought it new in 01!

Dont know bout the pedals though!

ive had mitsu's and the only times they have ever broken on me was when i was beating them. the last 2 that i had were power fast machines, but i never really dogged em, and i never had any problems with them.
the stigma or whatever with dsm's etc is that they are cheap, and so are their owners, so cheap + power = trama
there are how many other evo's out there with the same plastic pedals, and i doubt they are having this problem. one owner, being an ass, ending up looking like an ass, making every other evo owner out there look like an ass.

you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!(2:27:32 AM) edit: please f*cking work, f*ck, sh*t, piss(2:28:08 AM) edit: that did the trick
The gas pedal broke off in my 99 Explorer driving on the interstate one day when I still had about 50 miles to go until my exit. I managed to make it home by turning on the cruise control and not dropping below the cruises 25 mph auto cutoff limit until I was coasting down the street I lived on. Welded it back on and it never broke on me again.
We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
I just can't believe this...
No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________
plastic pedel = light weight.
plastic fenders from saturn = dent resistant.
plastic FTW!

Most drive by wires car have plastic pedals. Nick's V6 celica has one, haha

When I was looking for a 2-seater in '05, one of the ones I tried was an Eclipse. What a tired hunk of scrap metal. And Consumer Reports gave it a very poor review for reliability. They loved Toyota.
I can't imagine myself ever driving another car but a Toyota.
