Hey guys I've been reading the posts about throttle cable slack, from the inside when you lift up on the pedal there is a lotta slack maybe an inch or so but when it is pushed to the floor and Get under the hood there is maybe 1/4 inch left in the throttle plate to full open. So am I missing something ? If I take up the slack inside the car I'm thinking that'll be way to much under the hood and I'm taking the chance of snapping the cable. Whether I'm doing it for response or pedal height.
nah even with the 1" spacer you'll still have cable slack..not much but some. even with my tb spacer & throttle cable spacer at the pedal my cable isn't fully taught
Ok, I did it, I cut a 3/8 gas line an inch sliced it open, trimmed it down so it would close tighter and smaller in diameter, put 2 heavy zip ties on the line to keep it closed and yes the throttle response is immediate Its great !
maybe it's just my imagination, but when I did the throttle pedal mod it made the car a little bit quicker accelerating. Almost like maybe it wasn't reaching WOT before.
That is basically what this mod was ment for, it says that possibly when you mash the petal to the floor before the mod you wouldn't hit wot, because you would have the carpeting and body in the way of full pedal power, so instead of messing with that they came up with this, whoever came up with it is a genious, people say this mid or that mod has the most bang for its buck, well this does, can't quite beat finally getting wot for 50 cents
Yea, I just used 10 cent hard clear tubing. I cut it straight down the center after I measured how long and had to be. Make sure the tubing is small enough so it won't slide off the end. After the install now when I smash my petal the wheels spin until I let off. But semi-bald tires can also contribute lol
See the previous owner of my car, 400 miles before he sold it, put new Firestone tires on it So the tires are too new, I can't Burned out, so I'm hoping the pedal mod, with full acceleration will let me spin them, it's embarrassing not being able to
Yeah no idea, car runs great, just takes off instead of spinning
My question is, if any of you have an automatic, on my shifter, there's a button, it turns my overdrive on and off
And when overdrive is off, my launch is so much quicker, when it's on launch is slower, and still no burn out
Which should I use o/d or not
Well when I turn my car on, the ABS light comes on, and my traction control off light comes on, because my ABS is messed up, so I never have traction control on at all anymore, can't turn on or off, it's off by default
Lol nah ill stick with mine, they're basically new
The black one I've gone through 3 pairs in 6 months, actually I did 2 in 2 months but that was taking to much money so I've tryed to keep my foot out of it alittle more
To burn out in my automatic, I just put it I drive, or 1st. Hold the brake with my left foot and accelerate with my right. As so as I get good enough spin (around 3k rpms) let go of the brake and she starts moving and burning money, I mean tires
No, holding the brake I could spend the tire, but just punching the gas without the break, I couldn't spin em
Basically something is wrong in my ABS sensors, My ABS light on my dash is on, meaning I have no ABS, and because ABS is on, my traction control, when you hit the traction control button the light comes on the says it's off, it is always off because of the ABS aka the off button is lit on traction control
Here's some pics
Abs light is on
Trac control always off because of abs
Here's both in same shot
Yellow in corner is the word off on trac control button
yea that's normal because usually burnout you have to hold it for a while unless h have a high horse power car then you can do insta but outs but even then u have to hold the break to loose traction so u have no problem
Not technically I had a 3.6 firebird that spun them like crazy just flooring it, Honestly it seems really close to burning out when I just smashed the pedal, I think when I get the pedal mod done I might be able to chirp them
I'm glad, and not glad that i dont have that traction control problem, my car doesnt even have TC, and I don't even know how to turn off your ABS like Sluder4 said.
No u can't turn abs on and off, it's like a check engine light for your brakes
In the front the abs sensors are just stuck on, and light can come on because of those if dirt gets in there
So it could just be simple fix, just ain't nobody got time for that
Lol
I work all the time

Question is how does it let you control your gears on an auto, is it like new cars where you can put in drive but also has a slap shift?
Or does it change car to Manual minus clutch perminatly
