#2: I believe you should have a 1/4 inch slack. But the best way to do it is what SCG-Milan suggests. About 3-4 posts above mine.

#4: The cold air intake is just a minimal gain with a better sound, but also has a higher risk of hydrolocking as another member stated. The OEM is fine, maybe drop in a K&N filter and your all good.

As for the other 2 questions, I don't have any experience with that so I can't really help you. Good luck and enjoy.

*EDIT: SCG-Milan's post is 5 up on mine. You got more replies while I was typing mine up.

 

the roof well doesn't need a mat imo because i can't reach or put anything back there anyway. but it looks cool...

 

That is exactly What I was looking for. Thanks!

that's NOT the way to do it--follow the instructions in the service manual and do it correctly---take your fingers and try to move the cable up and down with no pressure on the gas pedal--if you can move the cable more than 1/4 inch, it's too loose---takes less than 3 minutes to adjust it correctly--loosen the locknut, turn the adjuster nut, retighten the locknut, done-----just like you'd do it on a brake cable on a bicycle

 

I need to get my hands on a service manual. I'll put it on my list.

 

I used some two sided tape (available from fabric or hobby shops) to hold a black cotton terrycloth towel cut to shape. Yanked it out twice a year to wash, worked great, cost less than $10. I don't use anything back there with a glass window now. But it saved a ton of wear on the plastic window.

 

I agree--it's the best $65 I've spent on my car--I refer to it all the time---it's not cheap but it's the exact manual the dealer uses to diagnose, adjust and fix your car--it details out virtually everything on it-----you can get it from HandAaccessories.com or Hardtopguy.com cheaper than from your local dealer

Are you kidding me? Do you read the service manual to change your oil too? What about to tighten your lug nuts?

Lets think this through logically:

Problem: Is the throttle cable too loose?

Check: Is the throttle body open all the way with the gas pedal all the way down?

If Yes: You are good to go.

If No: Tighten or loosen until it is.

Are you honestly going to tell me you can tell what a 1/4" is by eye-ing it? What if there is *GASP* 5/16ths of play? Do you bust out the wrench and tighten it to make sure it's exactly 1/4"?
