nice loaded question

i am 100% heterosexual, thanks for your concern...

[Steve J.]

Wow, he came out in my thread...I feel so special

Nah, if they came with the E36 WCT they would have been size 13 or something, Sofro is a big dude lol

Definitely no discriminating in my thread, all are welcome But please, no public displays of affection with your partner, there are children present.

I guess that's safer than Dave being behind you.

Man, you just queued Tim S for another ambiguously gay comment...

Steve will we get pictures of the carbon fiber seat booster? At 5'6 you should be racing a horse or in an open wheel car.

Leave the tin tops for big guys.

Lol, ouch, low blow (no pun intended).

Ok kids, enough fun, its a build thread, lets keep this to another thread. Thx

Not funny, although I do prefer karting and formula cars. If formula cars were safer in club racing (or should i say drivers) I would be running a DSR right now. I almost bought one instead of building the E46. $75k and you can run slow DP laptimes!

Awwww, dad... OK, we can move it back over to our build thread that Steve likes to dilute with his threadjacking. I am accustomed to it.

Deal with it lol

At least I talk about relevant topics...not peoples sexual orientation.

And to think it all started with an innocent question about Sofro's old shoes...

Lol, true. The internet is amazing, isn't it?

OK, back to work...watching the market come back to reality and the USD going further in the hole.

Tilton 3 Pedal Floor mount 600 Series.

I got them through Evosport, I don't have pricing on hand, but they are priced pretty standardly. You can probably go to HRP and get pricing online, I just sourced them through Evosport.

Found them at pegasus race supply.....are these the same ones?

But not so bad as it was versus the Pound still!

That'd be them. You'll also want to look into the Remote Bias Adjuster, as well as the cantilever throttle linkage. Depending on your motor setup, it could be easier to do it right on the throttle assembly (s54 has off the shelf kits from tuners like Evosport). I like the adjustability right on the pedal though.

We adapted our 3 pedal set to use the DBW pedal (probably not M20 related though).

How does one convert the OEM throttle Hall sensor to work with this setup?
Sorry for the newb question.

EDIT: After looking at the Evosport kit you referenced, I assume you're converting the throttle to a cable linkage? Since you mentioned using the OE electronics, how do you reconcile the lack of throttle data with the ECU?

[Steve J.]

Are you talking to me or James?

I'm using AEM, and an M50...I might even use a morseteleflex pushpull cable for the throttle, but i have to see how much resistance it has on the return, otherwise i'll beef up the return on the throttle body.

[Gofast]

Are you talking to me or James?

Both of you actually, I think my mind crossed your build with James's, apparently one black e46 is the same as another to me.

Thanks though, your answer makes sense. It was James who had talked about using the stock electronics.

[jamesclay]

We use DBW also.

[Gofast]

We use DBW also.

So are you using the stock DBW throttle sensor with an aftermarket pedal?
That's my real question.

[jamesclay]

Ah-ha - ask the right question to get the right answer! Yes, that is correct. We are using the 900 floor mounts in my WC car with 3 pedals, using parts of the stock pedal and producing an electronic output.

[Steve J.]

Nice, I like to see OEM component integration like that, as the OEM components are usually better than 90% of whats available "off the shelf."

[jamesclay]

And typically cheaper...
