the Loadcell myth

[occasionalracer]

my dealer is the biggest tuning company in the world, I think they know more then anyone else would about the car

I like my warranty too

The biggest tuning company is situated in Wales, UK?.. interesting, I would have thought Germany, Japan or USA. Anyway, good to hear you get a solid brake bleed with a warranty to back it up.

What is the largest tuning company in the world anyways? Cosworth?

No not Wales..... the biggest tuning company is Brabus in Bottrop Germany, I imported my car to the UK.
I took mine to the uk dealer long ago and was not very happy so now it gos to Germany. Me and the wife have a weekend away and the car has any work that needs doing done. As a bonus I get to max it on the Autobahn.

Anything silly I get done local, anything else it gos on holiday

So in other words you drive a Brabus?... if so that's pretty hardcore.

Are we talking about after market parts for cars, or are we talking how many parts get in to vehicles from a supplier?

A load cell brake is superior to a pot based brake for the reasons related to neurophysiology. Our very human leg can "remember" changes in pressure much better than changes in angle. A load cell converts foot pressure into braking force and a potentiometer converts foot position (angle of rotation) into braking force. Just like in a real road car, foot pressure is what will stop our virtual one when a load cell is used. It's far easier to develop a feel for necessary foot pressure than position.

Just say no to "pot"
