Default Throttle rotor for S2K...

Does anyone make a throttle rotor mod for our cars? I would like to get better throttle response, and was just thinking that installing a throttle rotor with a different size might help.

I've already eliminated the slack in the cable.

Any opinions on this?

I don't see why a Prelude one wouldn't fit.

but can't you just mash the go-pedal faster?

seems like changing it for a larger-diameter rotor would make throttle modulation more difficult... or atleast take some getting used to. it would certainly make it more twitchy.

Changing it to a smaller diameter rotor will make the pedal distance between closed throttle and open throttle less. You gain quicker response and lose control.

I have to say that I've never been disappointed with the S's throttle response and on the track need all the control I can get.

I think this might help with everyday driving, less bogging from 1st gear mainly.
