Hi guys,
My daily driver is a ED XR6. On a recent trip to Forester I had a go in my dad's BA XT. The first thing I noticed was that the gas pedal felt like it was made of wood. Seriously the feel was so much firmer it felt like the brakes on my ED XR6. Now I had driven the BA before but not for a couple of months and I had never reckoned the gas pedal to be particularly firm before but the difference really shocked me this time (for the first couple of minutes I had trouble keeping the car up to the speed limit). I was just wondering if anybody else had noticed such a difference in pedal feel between an eseries car and a BA? Maybe its just the XR6? How would I about adjusting pedal feel for either car (assuming there is a problem). |

Same with mine. My original throttle cable was streched like mad. I'd put the foot down and nothing would happen. The improvents after replacing it were immediately noticable. I just touched the throttle and accidentally nearly hit the redline!

I have noticed alot of the newer cars i drive have firm accelerator pedals.. Personally i prefer my ED's spongy cable.. LOL.. i am going to put some spacers in the line shortly thought to lift the pedal a bit higher off the floor.. Cheers, Nik

Dont forget that the BA doesn't have an accelerator cable its just a spring in a box that you are feeling. As with the E series the only spring that the have fitted is actually part of the cable on the throttle body end and yeah they are weak but I kind of like it that way. Like every one else has said just make sure you are getting full throttle and that'll do.

I have found the BA a bit too stiff for my liking!. I still prefer the old cable system in the e-series, they have more feel!
But with any sort of car, you will get use to it!!
