jbrentd's 2nd Chance CQ

[newsh]

If you're not getting full throttle opening you will not get full boost, the ECU is looking for the WOT signal from the TPS.
Take some slack out of the cable and take her for a drive.

Also there's a clip missing that should be holding the nipple in place on the quadrant.
Show us a pic from a bit further away so we can see what the adjuster looks like.

Are you referring to this part?

There are 3 clips:

1/ to secure the nipple to the throttle actuator.

2/ to stop the cable leaving the groove on the quadrant.

3/ to adjust the slack in the cable by selecting the groove the clip sits in against the rubber grommet in the abutment.

Mine is a reversed manifold but it's the same parts.

Thanks! I'll look for the correct parts, but in the meantime this has fixed the slack in the throttle cable and I'm able to go WOT. It's like driving a totally different car when you have full access to the go pedal.

There you go

Those planted seat brackets, the seat belt buckled bolts to them right? Or did you need to fab something up for them?

Yes, it has a tab for the seat belt latch. I think I had to bend it a little in order to get a nut and bolt on it.

Get someone to sit in the car and hold the pedal down to the floor then adjust the cable for only just tight or the tiniest bit of slack, otherwise when you truly floor it the first time you're likely to break something.

I don't think he actually made those, for me it seems like a MAPCO brand from Germany, I got a set too few months ago.
quality seems good, no issue installing them.

I like the seat, blends in nicely and i bet it comfy too.

Cool, didn't know that. Glad they're a good fit.

The seats are pretty comfortable.

Will do, thanks for tips!

After receiving the clip from FCPEuro, I got it installed in leu of the makeshift hose clamp I was using. I also adjusted the pedal so that there is only the slightest bit of gap between it and the stop on the floorboard. It's not as stretched as we thought it might have been. I also found the clip that helps keep the cable in the throttle cam on one of my spare 7A throttle bodies.



Got some new bling for the engine. A friend of mine made this oil filler cap for me in exchange for a cam sprocket he needed for his engine build.


I pulled the old roof rack out and mounted it up. I think I prefer the clean lines of the roof without the rack.

Another issue found and fixed. I noticed I was losing some brake fluid and it was showing up at the bell housing (best I could tell). I bought a new slave cylinder when I bought the master cylinder. Guess I should have just replaced them both together.

Got the new slave in this afternoon. I was a little worried that it would be a fight, but it only took about 45 minutes. The worst part was scrambling to find something to plug the clutch line with so I didn't lose a ton of brake fluid.

The trick where you compress the plunger, fill with brake fluid and insert the dust cover worked like a charm. And it seems as though I am getting fairly efficient at reverse bleeding the clutch line (knock on wood).

The old was definitely in bad shape.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Here are some updates from my time off for the holidays. Gave the coupe a real wash for the first time in a long time. Hoping to take it to the local C&C this weekend if the weather looks good.



I started working on cleaning up some used door sills that are in pretty good shape.





And in an effort to quiet down some noisy lifters, I tried running it with a quart of ATF to see if that would help. Before and after seem the same to me, so I have some lifters and a new cam chain inbound from AutohausAZ. Here's a video I put together.

Did the trims come up well?
