172cup accelermatron pedal

[daviebroon]

On my 172 cup... the throttle pedal goes so far, and then stops... but if i press down further it gives another couple of inches.

My gfs extreme doesnt do this, and my mates 182 doesnt do it... so why mine?

I dont notice any difference really... its one of those things that your mind plays tricks with you, and you think its kicking in 200psi of nitrous lol



Anyone elses do this? And why?

The cup uses a throttle cable.

The 182 uses Fly-by-wire throttle.

 

[badinvincible]

You sure a Cup is throttle? Im sure all ph2s were FBW. Actually, Im certain because Neils is FBW.

 

[daviebroon]

hmmmm.... so what about the extreme on a 52 plate? (same as mine)

Is it actually doing anything then... or am i just stretching the cable?

 

[Chris n nic]

Naaa m8....mk1 172 is cable.....mk2s are all FBW. There is a very small amount of extra movement but it doesnt do anything as far as Im aware

[KDF]

Ye I mean mk1s

You referring to the rubber bit under the accelerator pedal then.. someone mentioned once that it had something to do with cruise control.. dont know if that was true though.

 

[Pete]

Yup cups are all FBW.

 

[daviebroon]

so the extra bit of movement isnt giving me an extra 300bhp then? ~

 

[badinvincible]

Dunno, are you sure youre pushing the accelerator and not the accelermatron pedal? They do different things...

 

[daviebroon]

maybe its my leg joints thats giving an extra few inches

I sat in a New Clio Trophy in a dealer Showroom the other day and that did the same thing!!! Think its flat to the floor then it clicks down another Inch!

Would be nice if it did kick in some extra Va Va Voom!!!

 

[daviebroon]

im gonna say it does anyway... kicks in the vvt at 5000rpm to give me 200bhp

 

[Ian_182]

It does nothing,i kid myself sometimes that it is but it isnt

It overrides the speed limiter.

 

[mrk1]

2nded It definately overides the speed limiter ^^^^^^

 

[Munson]

And its also the same in the 182.

uh huh.

Mk1 172 is throttle cable
Cup is FBW

the click is to disengage the cruise control / speed limiter on all the other RS models.
