thinking of takingoff cruise controll
I dont know if i will miss it. honestly, i have an audi s4 that i use for daily/road trips. i dont intend to take this car far cause frankly i dont trust it (runs good just-well, you know). I am installing a jacobs ignition box, and the only place i can find to place it is where the cruise controll motor is. You guys think its worth it to take off just so I have a mounting place? I cant decide.

I second keeping it! Previous owner took it off my car. I bought another module off a forum member and it was great to have on the occational highway trip. One of the best "mods" i have ever done (reinstalling what he had removed). Fit and finish is factory quality....and it WORKS!

I effectively got rid of mine when I installed a decent steering wheel, more fitting to a sports car than to a Bus. If you car is a toy, as mine is, I wouldn't bother with cruise. It is nice to have any little space open up in the FD engine compartment.
On the other hand if its your traveling car, I'd think about keeping it. (still get rid of that Bus sized steering wheel).

I recently realized the steering wheel is bus sized as well. Sad.
I removed mine. You can take out the mechanism under the hood without ruining it, leaving open the option of reinstalling it. Thats what I did but its been 1yr+ and haven't missed it. Why let a little gadget have the fun of controlling the throttle? Your foot would be happier in charge.

I installed my jacobs on my R1 in that corner, where the cruise usually goes. Perfect spot for it.
I've driven between NJ and tx/ok about 5 times and have never missed the c/c. junk it

I say ditch the damn thing. I didn't have it on my FD.. I've had it in all my other cars... never use it. Personally I think its unsafe, but w/e... I've also heard people say their foot gets tired on long car trips. Which I've never had that issue..
So add one to getting that thing outa there. =)

You should have PMed me man, would have loved to have met up and checked out each other's cars.

I also find the cruise control a good way to prevent myself from speeding. If I am in control of the gas pedal I always want to push the speed up into the triple digits. Especially on the long boring desert roads between here and LA...Las Vegas...and Tucson...
