Hi Dave, thanks for showing us, hope your roadtest went well. Just a question - from the first photo it looks like just that one green throttle return spring, are there any more? In Europe, the criteria for many types of motorsport mean you're unlikely to be allowed through scrutineering (especially if there have been any modifications) unless you have at least two independent positive methods of throttle closure (I've surrendered my International rally licence so haven't got a current MSA 'blue book' or FIA 'yellow book' to get the exact wording) - and that green spring already looks maybe a bit tired?
cheers / Dave M

The spring looks to be "Progressive", wound at different pitches.
And Dave do those seats rotate to assist in entry and exiting? I remember Chrysler offering that feature back around that time. Sure wish they were still offered for those of us that can remember them and now need that feature badly!

Good evening Gentlemen, I took her for a test drive and let me just say this, the amount of Brute Force and Violence that car now has is incredible. It was pretty good before but now with the double pumpers and mechanical secondaries it is truly unreal. My drive ability issues are a thing of the past, you can actually drive it normally and enjoy it . Jump on the loud pedal and look out . It is really a dangerous fast car . As for the Questions , the seats don't swivel I think the factory was trying to save weight so they kept it bare necessities. There isn't even a back seat. The throttle spring, you are correct it needs 2 and has 2 I just didn't have it on in photograph . (good eye). And for the automotive pornography , that last pic I posted is a nice look under her dress.......... Just sayin .
Thanx for the interest guys have a good night Dave . (ps those are progressive throttle springs)

Just a thought , I wonder if I should have posted this under project logs or is it ok here? Also I have many more projects like this that I work on all of the time , if you would like to see more of different stuff I can post as well . Let me know if interested. Thanx Dave.
