Did this on a 2000 today. I can tell a big difference in throttle response personally, not from the car, but because when i let off to shift, and hit it again, its less distance to go with my foot.. and like stated before.. i dont get my foot stuck behind the brake no more. Anyway.. it's not gonna give you anymore performance then you already had, it just levels everything off and makes it look nice. I will say I noticed it's VERY touchy.. i took ALL of the slack out.. but i like it.

i used thick rubber washers for mine... i just took snips and cut the edges so they would slide on. its worked for about a year now.

this also helps top speed.. before the pedal went to the floor, but now the throttle does.

i did it today, man is it sweet, even though it may not improve hp, it sure feels a heck of a lot better, it sorta feels brand new. I love it.

LoL so i just did the mod and took me an ****in hour to do it because the naylon clamps kept sliding out when I hit the throttle, i found 1 1/2 inch ones and couldnt find the 1 and 1 1/4 lol. So I took a plastic tube that I found in my garage and clamped it with plastic clamps and plus secured it with zip ties. Mods really good because it gives u much quicker throttle response and nicer acceleration since the pedal is almost even with the brake. Thanks for your help. Its not all that great but worth it because I did couple of donuts with my car lol do to quicker response of the throttle

Heres a cellphone pic I took!!

nice cell pic hah.

not really throttle response from you car.. jus your body reacting quicker to the pedal due to the muscle memory in your leg telling u the pedal starts lower.. once u get used to it it'll prolly feel like normal.. but hey.. for now.. you can burn em pretty quick lol.

i have also been told to cut the carpet in a small square at the top right corner to allow the pedal to completely hit the floor. It helped me , good report by the way i am going to try this when i have some spare time

I finally did this small project today. And, I dont know about you, but a person with 44" shoulders does NOT belong in that area. If I wasnt flexible enough, I would have had to call my mom and tell her that my seat has crammed me, lol

And, I was not able to get any clamps tighten. I just could not do it so, right now, it is held on by 2 zip ties. Not to mention, I lost both of the clamps that I bought too.
