FMIC has finally been fitted by Unit 18, another top job as ever:

holds the power very nicely, and even after a proper drive home, no heat soak, lovely stuff, o and the MPG appears to have risen, and a deeper engine note as well, happy days

What type of accelerator pedal do you have on your car? i managed to fit the tt brake and clutch pedals but the accelerator is too small. I asume your pedal just slides over the top of your old pedal?

 

[phillpotts92]

Did you buy a LHD pedal mate?

naa man i got a set of audi tt pedals. the brake and clutch are fine but the accelerator is too small. it has 7 rubber bits on it and tapers at one end. i have seen more square pedal with 8 rubber bits. i think this may fit?

 

[JonnyH10]

The right hand drive accelerator pedal doesnt fit. You need a left hand drive one.

 

[phillpotts92]

You are ok with the brake and clutch as they are RHD pedals needed which you have but to get the accelerator pedal to fit you need a LHD one

 

[mickyp1989]

surely the left and right hand drive pedals are exactly the same theyre just mounted on the opposite side of the car? if so does anyone know where i can get one of these accelerator pedals from?

 

[phillpotts92]

Nope they're different. I sourced mine from the bay but you can try German eBay that might be better.

been a busy ol car day, with confirmation from Anglian Water that the ban has been lifted on the hose pipes I got a scrubbing and vinyling:

the old snow foam:

after a rinse:

finished after Autoglym paint cleaner, shoe polish on the rub strips and a top coat of Aqua wax:

as you will notice I have vinyled wrapped the badges using the vinyl I was very kindly donated:

half and half on the rear badge:

completed rear:

personally I'm not convinced If i like the rear badge dark, in order to work I think I need to tint the lights all over the car so it matches.

Whats everybody else's thought on the rear badge?

 

[phillpotts92]

Hmmmm copy cat!
