Accelerator stopper???

[chillcupra]

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???????

Thanks

I doubt you get more power. The ecu just reads the position of the pedal and will be set so the pedal on the stopper is full throttle. It's probably there to stop the pedal getting caught in the carpet or something.

No as it's electronic so adjusts via a sensor instead of mechanical so it'l still be full throttle if you go past the std position if you get my drift.

too slow

if you put a something under your accelerator! it slows you down
I remember a thread Vauxhall did one for the Astra VXR made the car do 0-60 in 10sec and have 180bhp! don't think they sold many!

the stopped on teh leon is to stop you putting the pedal into the carpet & putting a hole in it
