So i got noesy today looking underneath my stearing wheel and such in my 06 RA and noticed what looked to be like a hard plastic pad underneath my gas pedal. by the looks of it i can unscrew it to take it out. By the look of it its a device to limit how far down i can press the gas pedal. anyone know nething about this. can i remove it?

 

Sure, but it won't make your car any faster.

 

lol its worth a shot

 

It's added weight you don't need!

P.S. Race naked - clothes weigh too much.

 

I disagree. With our throttle by wire unit being mostly plastic, I'd hate to see someone remove that stop, push the gas too far, and break the throttle sensor.

 

Besides breaking the TBW sensor, you'll stretch the throttle cable.
BTW that pad already stops the pedal when it's at WOT, so removing it won't do a damn thing

 

better be safe and just leave it, when you have the pedal down there you're at WOT already so no point in trying to push it farther.. you'll just stretch the cable or do something worse...

 

yea it doesnt do anything at all and all you have to do is pull it strait off

 

The car is at WOT just above the rubber stop actually, at least in my car it is.

 

I meant it doesn't do anything at all if you remove it. All that will happen with it removed is a stretched cable or a busted TBW sensor.

 

yea I know and I was trying to say that it doesn't do any good but if he does decide to bust something thats how he can do it
