... try it

I don't think its that hard. I'd do it, but mine doesn't have any dead zone.

1FastFox · September 14th, 2007, 10:44 PM

Done... I would have to say Im a little disapointed, took me all of 15 mins-20mins. Only thing I noticed was that it just takes the dead spot from the top of the pedal to the bottom. Yes the pedal is very touchy now, but you can keep the pedal about three inches off the wood and does the same as hammered down. my over all rating is nuetral, it depends on where you want the dead spot at...

well, that kinda blows... I'm now wondering if my dead spot is at the bottom...

Edit... Would'nt that mean that the car will go back to idle once you hit the dead spot at the bottom? since it isn't touching the contacts anymore?

cams-shelbycobra07 · September 14th, 2007, 11:03 PM

So what did it do then Im think about doing it on cobra

texas_mustang · September 15th, 2007, 01:34 AM

i did it, and it worked perfect. when you bend the wires, you also have to slightly bend the metal tabs up also, that way you dont just transfer the dead spot...

cams-shelbycobra07 · September 15th, 2007, 01:36 AM

what does it do throttle response wise

texas_mustang · September 15th, 2007, 01:41 AM

no dead space at all, way better acceleration

FireryDriver · September 15th, 2007, 12:39 PM

I like my deadspace, too many fools have driven my car and if it wasn't there, my car would probably be wrapped around a pole

Luis_GT · September 15th, 2007, 01:12 PM

You let other people drive your car... man, thats ballsy...

cams-shelbycobra07 · September 15th, 2007, 11:42 PM

so it makes it faster right in aceleration

Luis_GT · September 16th, 2007, 12:05 AM

What it does is that it makes the throttle responce instant instead of of having to travel a bit for it to rev up, similar to how mine is... 1cm in and your @ 1100rpm+ (yes, mine is that sensitive...)

cams-shelbycobra07 · September 16th, 2007, 01:14 AM

does it get anoying when crusing that might seem a little to quick

Luis_GT · September 16th, 2007, 01:22 AM

don't know... I've gotten used to it

9 months of that... makes it seem normal to me. and fun, especially when taking a 90 degree corner in second gear, and the moment you step on the gas about half way the rear slides out.

1FastFox · September 16th, 2007, 09:10 AM

soudns like I need to do some adjusting then. I think as it is now, I would prefer how it was stock... Like said before I kindof got used to have the pedal goes. But no it doesnt go back to idle all the way the floor it just doesnt change from being a little off the floor to all the way to the floor.
