Is that a governer behind the accelerator? I used to drive a bus and we had them. Can it be removed?

What's the block behind the accelerator?
Not the limiter!

You'd need chip tuning for removing the limiter.

If you have a steptronic/auto tranny that's the kick down button. Push the pedal down to its end, and then a bit more and you feel the tranny shifting down...

Drive-by-wire mechanism (including kick-down switch for autos). And a hinge.

Yep - don't remove it.

There would be no point anyway, the car is drive-by-wire, so it's a digital throttle signal.

Nothing really. Just thought I would put up some car show pics every now and again for those who didn't attend. My 2nd car from now should be a Bentley GT..................so on and so on...........that's my vehicle progression scale so far.
