Default wow what a difference

i was looking through the mods in the sticky and came across the accelerator pedal mod. i decided to try it so i went to home depot and got some tubing and 2 hose clamps. one thing i figured out after about 30 minutes is its impossible to use a screw driver to screw the clamps tight lol. there is just no room, so i ended up using a socket set that fit the screw. much easier.

anyway, i took it for a drive and what a difference. it felt weird at first because the pedals are actually level now lol. u have to be careful not to press down too much either because the response is so much quicker!!! i dont have a question, i just wanted everyone to know that they should do this mod

it would have taken 15 minutes, but i tried forever to try and get my arm to fit so i could use a screw driver lol. just use a socket to tighten the clamps.

be careful though...some people have actually snapped the cable from doing that mod. it might also stretch out the cable
