STI pedals...throttle by wire?!

Well, I received my 2006 sti pedals today, and there is no place to hook up the accelerator cable, only a large electrical connector on the side of the assembly. Is there any way to make the sti gas pedal work, or do I need to find one with a cable?

for the gas pedal, just drive the roll pin out of the pedal cover itself... Toss the DBW setup. Then do the same on your SVX pedal, and reinstall the sti cover onto your svx linkage... Unless it is similar to the 07 setup bobby had where the whole pedal arm is plastic... then you are SOL

No, It has the roll pin. That seem to be the ticket. Now I'm gonna feel like I'm 16 again putting this plastic pedal on my car.
Plastic.
Unbelievable.

Your stock one is plastic too. The Sti pedals at least have an aluminum face.
