FAO Carbon copy - discussion on cable vs. Fly By Wire Throttle

[Maz]

^ if you say so ..

I stalled the Ph-Q 3 times because of the stupid cable lol

you didn't stalled my car

Nearly did, it was just as bad !!

Cable is far far better in my experience. Couldnt live without the CC on my daily drive tho

The 1.2 has the same problem, the mk2ph1s were better because they were cable. I know a driving instructor that purposely bought a mkph1 because people kept stalling the ph2 as it was unresponsive. The throttle is also too light to know exactly if your pressing down on it and by how much.

Your not alone, I stalled the Ph-Q I test drove too, agree with the others though the cable throttle didn't feel alot more direct and connected than the fbw.

i think cables better,all the vw's i driva at work now have fbw and god its so annoying,i mean a new r32 is supposed to be good to drive but i hate flooring the throttle and not feeling it 'do' anything if that makes sense?

tbh, thats more likley to be do with the clutch as opposed the acellerator...

I stalled my mk2 172 driving it of the forecourt when i collected it.. it had FBW.

The thread was a joke anyhow....

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

Anyone taking a Ph-Q to Brands I can have a go in?

Yes and yes

Nice one Day

you'll find a grp n ecu or similar will sharpen up a fly by wire nicely

Maybe that's why mines so sharp...had one of them for the last 82k.

Made a marked improvement when i fitted mine last year.

Clutch 100%

I found it very 'snappy' when i first got mine, stalled for a good week or two

Made a mistake in the above the cable throttle did feel more direct and connected.

May have been a combination of the clutch and the fact that I was shitting myself about bumping it and was quite intimidated at first temporarily forgetting how to drive!

I have test drove a few ph-quicks and i have to say the acceleater pedal is very stiff and not smooth which is not the case in my ph2ph1 1.2 Is this the case with all ph-quicks?I know this is nothing to do with how responsive it is etc.

 

[Maz]

^ I found that also ..

yep thats for sure, it is more stiff, but like driving any car with different setups you adapt. A lot of that is all about how many cars you have driven... (for me thats not an issue)

I even agree with your EP3 view

^ well there is that. lol

Best thing is everyone talks about how little difference .1 or whatever there is between a Cup and a ff..yet there is apparently a big difference when we are talking about .001 of a sec between a cable moving and an ecu reacting?
