are you talking about a non-oem sized one? to make throttle more responsive?

i was thinking about replacing matties...her accelerator is very tall and i cant heel toe in that car very well.

i had orderd the weapon R one, but it was on backorder for a few weeks so i just got my money back. I do want one though, it sounds like a cheap mod that you can actaully feel and would be worht it to try out, let us know how it goes when you get it installed.

All it does is make the the throttle open sooner.

You think "look my car is faster" even though it's not and Weapon R thinks, "woo hoo another 30 bucks."

If you want to see what this feels like then go tighten up your throttle cable.

mr booty sir, my throttle cables are all tight, (all three of them, and the choke), but my acceleratrix lever is still rather high.

This isn't going to move your pedal.

All it is is the little round piece the throttle cable screws into with a hole at a different spot to open the throttle a little quicker.

No its just a smaller throttle rotor, so basically your TB opens up faster since its smaller circumferance. But you cannot adjust it.

Overall i dont think its a bad mod, you cant tighen the cable as fatbooty said, and this mod is small and is something you can actaully feel, it doesnt make your car faster, but gives you better throttle response.

point being it would allow me to lower my acceleratrix lever and therefore get a better chance for heel-toe. if i lower it with the stock rotor i wouldnt get the full range of the throttle.
