i realize that this sounds kinda stupid, but I was just curious.

it is actually my own personal perference to have a firmer pedal, and IMO the 90 gas pedal in it's current state is pretty light/soft...

So would there be any suggestions as to tightening up the responce/feel? Perhaps only to do with the butterfly actuating mechanisms on the top. But i dunno, suppose I could just be doing all the tinkering myself, but I was just curious to know if anybody had thoughts or was wondering the same =)

take care

there was a small write up on the 80/90 forum sometime back IIRC Hookie 90 did it. Anyway there follow your throttle cable form the starting point on the TB too about five inches away from starting point. You will come to a small adjustable secontion remove the metal clip and adjust to whatever you want. If you are lost as to what im talking about I think once you pop off the cover and look to the passangers side of the TB you might notice it. If not ill get a pic up in a few minuts.

if there is still play and you cannot adjust it anymore, it's time for a new cable ;o)

Just be absolutly certain that you don't create a jam, or other wierd siutation where the pedal stays "down" when you lift your foot. And consider the cruise control when you decide where to hook the spring on.

The whole damn thing is made from plastic and I do have a serious lead foot problem.

Driving like that was an adventure.

i now only have the "arm" that is attached to the plastic pedle part... one more thing to fix before saturday...Dang..

Funny thing is some are towed in while others find the little "nub" to work and a few of the more resourceful have hooked up elaborate underhood wires/strings to operate the throttle by hand to limp it in. That must have be a fun drive!

depending on how much gas he needed... once he made it to a shop .. he was traveling from huston to santa barbra.. across the dessert .. the guy at the shop got a chuckle too..:) pretty smart friend too i would say..most people would just sit and burn up in the sun..

I didn't have a string. But I used a pantyhose (not mine!!!) as makeshift belt in a VW Bug once.

That sounds wrong, too.

that does sound wrong.. dang people are loooking at me laughing

I'd rather drive commando than in women's clothes.

this has gone too far..my wife was asking me when she walked in the room what is that about pantiehose&gt;? lol..
ofcourse when i explained it was the "forum" she had not interest..lol

"What perversity is this now? No, don't tell me."

i am happy for you..:)
