Found my TPS table. Is this something where I need to adjust it to my needs? I can get better screen shots if needed Throughout my pedal travel it never reaches 0 or 100 as is. I can slope this to be a sharper slope and ensure I hit both Any suggestions from experts? Closed throttle I'm at 4.37V at 12.8% TPS. 100% throttle would require 0 voltage. I never reach that right now with full travel in the ITB's as is. Butterflies are 90 degree turned at about 80% indicated TPS (1.25V). TPS sensor cannot be adjusted itself, not in any obvious manner. 2 bolts in plastic, going into 2 bolts in metal.

Great shot ^

Also finished swapping the bonnet latches to all black. Made a few mistakes along the way but pretty smooth process overall. Gave up on trying not to have rivets in frame. Just let them plop in for the back lower mounts. Very happy with results. Definitely should have listened to advice and put tape around every time. Rivet gun always tends to jump

More maintained done today. 20 year old fuel filter replaced. Was probably fine but makes me feel better Was a bigger PITA than expected. Mostly due to the bolt heads being behind the carpet in cockpit while screw gun is in wheel well. Really required 2 people ideally.

About 4.5 pounds. Not counting the actual wiper blades. While savings are appreciated this wasn't done with that as primary intent. I just didn't like how the assembly looked sticking out especially when I was never using it. With that said, now I have to figure out the oval hole dilemma so the plugs sit flush.

Great find!

Another side project. Added more lightness. Wiper motor gone! Not sure if I'll ever bother trying to stuff it back in. New dilemma. I expected there to be round holes to fill with my round plugs from CC, however I was left with oval holes that don't really work well with round plugs. Still trying to figure out Pectel/ITB/Pectel situation. Found a voltage/throttle table that I might be able to modify to get to 0 and 100. Found out that I do read closed throttle when at 10% throttle, but Im also reading partial throttle even when WOT.

Thanks for sharing. Who knows what the future holds but all things considered we out of all are in very good shape. Plenty of different engine configurations have been used, many parts can be hand made which is pretty important for things like body panels and there is a decent after market community. The comment about survivors is pretty interesting. Any arbitrary older model that we see at car meets and shows must have had a long history of people keeping it alive and somebody sees some kind of sparkle behind it, even it's of no significance to us.

An anecdote to put this into perspective. McLaren and other super cars use their spoilers as air brakes. The stopping force an angled spoiler provides is great enough for them to engineer that into the car. Our cars have this air brake as standard when we have windshields. Counter argument is that this really works at triple digits speeds and our cars are rarely in that territory unlike super cars that can get up there and stay up there.

Same. A few times I drove it without mirrors it felt incredible vulnerable. The only problem with this setup is that it doesn't work with doors. and I have to remount the mirrors on the rare occasions those are utilized.

I'd contest the point that windscreen is needed for the street. Only time I consider putting mine back on is when it gets too cold out and I need doors and half hood. On the track the windshield acts like a sail and the buffering is distracting. It would cost you top speed if that's something that is a concern to you. All things considered it's not crucial and many 7s track with their windshields without an issue.

To get my mind off all the other troubleshooting I decided to add some brightness JAL lights. Outstanding customer service and great product. Clear lights are now very visible in the day time.

I'll look at the base map over the next couple of days and see if I can make sense of it. If I share it here would that mean anything to you? I've never looked at a map in my life so until I understand it, it's just foreign language. With cable or no cable my current full range of ITB linkages is from ~10 to ~75. I'm know sure if I need to change/adjust the TPS or reteach the ECU somewhere as to where the min/max setpoints are. My cable doesn't interfere with return to zero nor does it prevent full 90 degree. I believe I max out on a hard WOT screw stop on my TB at 90, but I'll double check. After more testing I'm also noticing a bit of a flat spot low in the RPMs in some gears when I get on it hard but thats likely another issue entirely.
