I'm so glad you commented about how bad these cars buck on the stock pedal. I've driven manual cars my entire life and having picked up my f80 recently, I've felt like I had to really focus on working the clutch pedal to keep it from not doing that. That was my ultimate selling point! Great video!

Wow man u got the most perfect f80 😍 picking up a 6spd f82 soon so excited!

Thank you and good choice! Make sure you get a UCP pedal! So much better.

@@Autofreakgarage yessir i only test drove a dct not the 6spd yet but man i feel in love with the car. I need to still test drive a 6spd n see but ill most likely go with that. Do u think comp vs non comp is important? Doesnt rlly matter if imma mod it anyways rt
@Autofreakgarage2 ай бұрын
@Xccord a test drive with both will give you a better idea of what you are looking for. I do think the comp is worth it. Holds value a bit better and you have a nicer starting point.

@@Autofreakgarage hm i see okay sounds good thanks for the tip. it's bc the only 6spd one i can find in my area is a non comp but dcts in my area are comps unless i go nationwide did you buy urs local to you?

I was so excited to see this because I couldn't figure out how to get the electronic module out of the way! I worked on that thing for 3 hrs! Had to put the og pedal back together to drive the next day. Thanks for the vid now I can install my UCP tomorrow! By the way there are no other install vids for the F80 so u should get a million views! Can't thank you enough!
@cashmony32 ай бұрын
Finally got it installed today. This is a game changer! Make the F80 shift so much smoother and you are in complete control! Amazing! It's everything you said and more! This is without a short shifter. Best purchase by far! Thanks for the vid wouldn't have gotten it in without you!

I latched on for the STI videos (which I have), but love what you've done with this car. Beautiful work and car. A car is meant to be driven and experienced, and you get that. If you get a Tesla, I'll unfollow. LOL.
Man, I really appreciate your vids! I've got a UCP waiting to be installed. Thanks for showing the install. My question is, have you deleted the clutch valve? I wonder if that is necessary given the improvements with the UCP.
@Autofreakgarage2 ай бұрын
The cdv is the only thing I haven’t done yet. And to be honest, after the ssk and the UCP, I’m not sure if it’s needed. It feels very very good right now.

Now i wonder 🤔 can i just removed the clutch assist springs in my factory pedal to try and make it feel better.
@Autofreakgarage2 ай бұрын
Don’t think so. As the main feel of the pedal is the shorter throw and didn’t positioning. You can certainly try it, but it won’t yield the same results.

@TrenchluvАй бұрын
I noticed on many other accounts on forums etc. The f80 guys are saying there is no actual delay valve in the module that looks just like the f30 etc. Models. Interesting . Many people swear it's just a placeholder valve as in the other models but doesn't actually have a delay in the clutch release.

Great content, I was looking into this before I pulled the trigger on the auto solutions SSK. I know the F8x & G8x share the same manual but this part isn’t compatible with the G8x chassis, bummer.

Is the stock clutch pedal feel on your M3 similar to the M2 you reviewed a little while ago? In what ways to they differ if they aren't?
@Autofreakgarage2 ай бұрын
Yes similar. Had the 3 different “stages” and very light feel. I’d recommend doing this in the f87 as well.
