I don't know if any one has played with one of these of yet but before I start messing with the thing I thought I would ask these questions as some one may know. At first I thought it was just my car but I have driven a few C2s now and they all had the same problems.
Throttle response. These cars have a fly by wire that has a habit of being extremely slow to react. From idle say at a junction if you floor the throttle literally nothing will happen for a second. Even if you sit there out of gear and floor the throttle you can get it all the way to the floor there is still a huge pause before anything happens. Then on the flip side if you are pushing the car at all hard even if you take your foot all the way off the throttle before you start pushing the clutch the revs will still hit the red line. Is there any way to fix this yet? Or should I start looking for parts off a base model to go back to a cable throttle and stand alone ECU?
Also the brake and clutch peddles are way to high. There is no way I could heel and toe down the gears. Though even if you could the throttle response is so bad it would not help. Is there a easy way to adjust the peddles? Or am i just going to have to make new ones?
I am not going to start playing with it for a couple of weeks but if some one know anything about this before I destroy the thing I would be most grateful any help.
Thank :)
