stiff pedal and pinstriping

hey guys, i've been wondering about my gas pedal if it's supposed to be as stiff as it is. it feels like my foot is on the floor, the thing's like a brick! my freakin knee hurts after driving because i have to put so much weight on it. i got all up in the cables with wd-40, but it didn't do all that much. is there something i can adjust, maybe the cable?

also, there's painted-on pinstriping running along my car. now, i'm the master of that vinyl crap pinstriping, i hate it, so i always take it off my cars. but i can't get this off without taking off the underlying paint, can i? this sucks, it's so ugly.

thanks guys. kisses.

aww thanks for the kisses, damn im cool :smokin:

lol, i donno about the pedal but the pin stripe should just peal off... i dont think it will take off the underlying paint... it might if its been there along time, not to sure tho

sure the throttle blade isn't binding?

yea, the pin stripping should just peel off.. just take it easy and becareful... just dont use anything but fingers to peel it off, slow and study and it should come off in no time.

it's painted on, though. :screwy:

oh, i missed that part... then no way to get it off... sorry, i think i need some sleep

haha it's cool. i figured there wasn't some magical way to get rid of it.

Cover it up with a vinyl strip of your car's color, I think that's the best, and possibly cheapest way. About your gas pedal, my friend's firebird has he same problem where it like BARELY moves, right? And you're like going WOT.

lol, i was just about to suggest running to auto zone and getting that touch up paint for small scratches and shit and just painting over it (in your cars color)

I guess that would be the only way, unless I was to paint the whole gd thing. those damn stripes on my car are the equivilent to spinach in your teeth...ugh.

Sandpaper....

Sandpaper....

lol, i missed the part where she said they where painted on you must have missed the part where she said she didnt wanna f her paint up...

Add more and make it look cool??? Put dots all over, put jeg's edelbrck, holley, etc stickers all over it so that you can't see it???? I don't know. If it's painted on I think you're kind of screwed unless you want to cover it with something or re-paint it. Might wanna ask a body person though.

lol, i will speak for her... thank you for nothing you post whore... lol, we already gave her 2 ideas... all you did was tell her to put stickers on her ride... im gonna come to your house late at night and put shoprite paid stickers all over your car...

... Don't buy a car you think is ugly?

i wouldnt try an do anything to that mans car, earl might come out and bite the sh*t out of u. as for your pin strip problem just get a new paint job u wont get it off without killing your paint, and i hope that is a female because i dont ever remember "her" saying she was i just caught the kisses part. that would be some real funny sh*t if thats a dude.as for that gas pedal i suggest more leg arobics thats just eight shades g..! i bet that sucks on long drives.

lol, i believe in another post she states she is female...

stalker

are the stripes on the surface of the paint or have they been applied and then cleared over?
If they are on the surface, and they were not applied with a hardened paint you can use 3M Super Duty Rubbing compound and buff them off.
(if you dont know what your doing get someone who does to do this for you.) you can burn the hell out of your paint or cut thru the clear. DONT USE an electric buffer you cannot control the speed and they have way too many RPM's. Use an air BUFFER / POLISHER with a lambswool pad, Not a grinder with a pad.

If they are subborn, you can lightly water sand with micro fine (1500 grit) sand paper before buffing back to a shine
As stated before , if you dont know what you are doing get someone who does to do it for you.

lol, im a stalker? how? she stated she was female in another post...

Yeah I called her a him and she said she's a she. so I AM PROOF.

ty... i think geno should find his way to AF a lil more often and do a lil reading...

Maybe if you take your time with a sharp razor you can scrape it off, but I'm sure you'll have to get that section touched up. If you're careful enough might just need new clearcoat on it, but I don't really recommend it unless you're totally confident and get about 20 other guys on this site to back that up lol, I have no idea.

For the stiff gas pedal, disconnect the throttle cable from the throttlebody and see if the pedal is still hard to move. If it is, you need a new cable, it is kinked inside somewhere. If it isn't stiff, try actuating the throttlebody by hand, if it is the problem.....well there are 2 routes to go. 1 Look on E bay for the people that rebuild them or get a new one. If this is a TPI engine.

ROFLMAO!!! THAT would be some funny shit.

lol, i just dont know where you live... and you better leave earl inside when i come... im not scared of him, but when you wake up he wont be there...

pick his big ass up and run off with him... then your kid(s) will be like ohhh daddyyyyy someone stole earl waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... lol :)

Oh, you have no idea the pain you have just wagered yourself.

Nice knowen ya, :rolleyes: briefly.

Yeah... snap your back in half trying to pick HIM up. Then you'd be easy pray for the old Deliverance style ass whooping he'd inflict. Then you'd have to do "the walk of ETERNAL shame"... that's when you have to limp home from the mother-of-all-porkings inflicted by a fat dog (who's nuts were about the size of tennis balls before he got neutered, ew, yuck) that left snail trails on your back and all kind of nasty slobber smeared all over the back of your head. :rofl: EWWWWWWwwwwwwwww!!! :eek7:

Just kidding. Take him. I want a bulldog. Actually no I don't. I would relish in the monetary freedom gained from not having to feed a bottomless pit.

lol, but after 4 days of "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, someone stole Earl, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" you would fork over a few hundred just to have him back...

Shit. Everytime they see someone else's dog they ask if we can give Earl back and get a "little" dog.

The one who would really be upset is my 19 month old daughter who like the noise he makes when she steps on his johnson. OhhhhhNOooooooo!

Here's an idea on the pinstripes... Broad & Diamond in Philly, left running with the windows down, leava 40 on the seat as further reason to steal it, collect the insruance moeny and buy a maro w/o pin stripes!

Easy.

after i put shop rite stickers all over your car im gonna park in on broad and diamond in philly with a 40 on the seat...

this way you can collect the insurance money and buy a 2nd gen with a good tranny and runs on all 8 cylinders.

I'd be forever indebted to you.

We used to party a block or two off of Broad & Diamond, and at Temple alot.:cheers: Got our windows shot out one January at about 3 AM. (Man was that fun.. totally retarded on jungle juice riding down 95 in a for escort with no side windows at about 20 degrees with jeans and a sweatshirt.) Philly's a class A town all the way baby:grinno:. The only thing it really needs is someone to develop a device that will eliminate the entire city except for the cheesesteak restaurants / vendors...:grinyes: an advanced napalm bomb might work. :evillol:

Oh yeah.. I heard back then, have a bunch of friends / relatives who are cops and detectives for PA State Police, that Broad and Diamond in Philly was the most dangerous area in the United States, second to Chester, PA, for a few years in the early 90's.
