Default Big Thanks to JB Motorsports from Vanc. BC!

Was at the Ridge and was having some trouble with my gas pedal potentiometer. John from JB Motorsports volunteered to help with his PIWIS and 30years experience as a Porsche master tech. His hunch was it was the connector and suggested to put a little tension in the wire by putting a twist in it.

Worked like a charm. Before this was getting 2-3 good laps before the pedal went dead. Was able to enjoy the afternoon and schedule the connector to get replaced.

If you're in the BC area and need work done on your Porsche John and Bryan are your go to guys!

He's also a damn good driving coach based on the two clients he had with him turning 1:47's in their .2 RS's!

Had the same issue and replacement pedal failed. Goldcrest Motorports has a solution as they mentioned aluminum billet reinforcement support bracket was the answer. Keith is the contact for this item.

Roland's FB post is saying maybe not 1:47... Don't know for sure now. Either way they were quick!

Jamie you threw me a curve there when you said "JB Racing"

It was Wayne and his buddy on track and for our group, didn't have to worry about pointing anyone by... John's CGT had some bad gas in it and he wasn't out with it...
