I'd rather s4it in me own slippers than buy anything dtuk, even second hand 
Euuwww. Not an image I want in my head!
I have the solution - buy a Remus responder, or go straight to the original - DTE pedal box. 
I agree with Mr Harris in one respect - on the move throttle response is pretty decent. For me it's mostly that dead zone at low speeds or moving off from a standstill that grates. And the pedal box does remove this.
I was thinking about this t'other day - I wonder how much throttle response/sensitivity awareness is determined by one's footwear? I almost always wear (and obviously drive in) thin soled flats such as Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s. But recently I drove in my Merrell bushwalking boots with thick, stiff soles. I had to turn the pedal box off as the throttle was too sensitive in these.
My exact same thoughts with the pedal box supplier. Even Burger Motorsport have got in on the action now with their own version.
There is a noticeable difference wearing different shoes I find.
I often wear midlife crisis canvas pumps which have soles not much thicker than ballet shoes, but have to wear steel toecap boots to work as despite being a desk jockey I need to access a yard full of large trucks to fill my kettle.
There’s a big difference in feel but I still keep the box switched to the same settings and have just learned to move my ankle a few less mm when wearing my Dr Martins.
