Throttle Pedal

[markclio2007]

Is it just mine or you floor it then you think foot is flat down but then push slightly harder and it kind of clicks and goes abit more??

Is this normal? If so whats it about?

Thats the superhypermega go fast button! Actually its just for the speed limiter over ride.

 

[kully]

yes its normal ......cant remember what it was called though .


ask donnyo , he tell you all about it .

I think the plastic bung thing under the pedal is meant to stop it doing this.

You wont go any faster/ beat m3's by pressing it that extra bit to the floor though.

Its for a disconnect for the crusie control and speed limiter.

Peperami let it go kid!! Edde what do you mean?

i was the same a didnt know if it was right but mines only seems to go down more about 5000rpm? the go faster button lol

 

[markclio2007]

The last bit of travel is a disconnect for the cruise and the speed limiter some cars have it which don't have cruise etc its was a cost saving measure.

 

[markclio2007]

It disconnects tho with any throttle im lost

 

[Gumby]

It's to override the cruise control:
Touch brakes: CC goes off
Stamp on Throttle: CC goes off

He means that all throttle pedals will have it, even if they don't have CC connected. Mainly so they don't have to manufacture 2 types of throttle pedal hence saves money

 

[markclio2007]

Oh rite but what im saying is you dont need to press it even that much and it will cut out

 

[Gumby]

Erm I dunno, was just trying to explain what he said!

I know that cars with a speed limiter tend to have a clicky button to override the limiter though (as merely pressing the throttle will only accelerate until and not surpass the speed set on the limiter).

 

[markclio2007]

Oh rite ok cheers mate

 

[tollan172]

will it increase acceleration? or just a cut of switch for the cc? just so anno wether its worth my while sinking the shoe more

 

[Gumby]

I'm no expert, but at a guess it'll do sweet FA lol

It wont make you go faster mate

 

[tollan172]

aww destroyed ma good thoughts about the "go faster button" itl never be the same racing again

 

[mark_s]

cool, i'd always wondered if it was just something weird with mine, thats good to know. lol @ "superhypermega go fast button!"

Mine kept getting stuck on my car mat (and so jamming the throttle open, was scary the first time it happened) so I put the mat over it
