stopper

This may be a stupid question but underneath the accelerator on the leons and probs most cars there is like a stopper thing that prevents the pedal been pressed further down. Could you remove this to get more power???????:shrug: Thanks

Hi all Bought a mark 2 Leon on 11 November and something's broken off already :( I was giving it a wash today and opened the tailgate to leather off the drips and the passenger side springy rubber stopper thing (I don't know the correct name for it) :confused: fell to bits and landed in...
