Kav let me tried out this UUC big boy clutch pedal stopper......big mistake, it'll be staying put on my car :D :D

I'm amazed how such a simple mod puts so much more fun into driving. With this, I know exactly where the clutch engagement is. Just floor the pedal and back off 1cm, bang it bites. I've never shifted faster with such confidence ever. For £10, what a mod! Highly recommended [cool [cool

Is the clutch fully disengaged even though the pedal isn't completely pressed down ?

Don't know why, but finding it very funny!

Should not say much though... as it looks like a good mod for me too.

Peppernick, being the resident Dr., could you explain the technicalities a bit more? [hmm

Is it something that could be used on any manual (ie mine :D )

looks like it just stops the pedal from travelling too far down, ie you adjust the stop to just past the "clutch in" point, so your foot doesn't need to move 2"-3"'s up to catch the "bite" and thus start motion.

Suspect when you have both pedals pushed in, your left leg will be higher than your right on the brake pedal.

ps: wouldn't it be cool, in silver and ACS logo to match the pedals.. hehe :D

lol.. yeah damn rite.. mods away... also due to the irregular leg layout (one foot higher than the other), it'll be strange, defo would need to get used to it.

I kno the clutch fully depresses long before youve fully pressed it down so i assume it just stop when it is there. Sounds good!. Although can you cause any damage? ie if an experience driver was to press to hard fogetting theres a stop would it break nething?

Nick, are these adjustable or fixed length? I may have to take a trip down to B&Q for a quick McGiver mod:)

Fully adjustable so suit cars with different clutch.

na i doubt it because if you know anything about racing your already bring the clutch up while the lights are red to that point neways so you can drop it quiker. Although if its a longer race ie 1/4 mile it will cos you switch gears quiker and more accurately :D.
