I did a quick calcu of my weight given my mods and i should be about 3500 given the car weighed 3850 stock...

The zr1 weighs more than the zo6 and i was shootin to meet the zo6 weight...

Wait how has the car lost 350 lbs? Seems it has added weight. And 50 lbs of sand as well.

Lol. Good luck.

No chatter with mine. It's actually a custom RPS, full carbon and no Marcel spring. I had a custom one made because I broke a Marcel spring in my first one three years ago. Only thing is you need to be very careful not to hit the idler plate with the input shaft. A slight bend and its chatter city.

Lets say i dont have an issue for many thousands of miles, but just in case, what was the damage on the heart for your clutch?

Where did you get your CF doors, deck lid and fenders? Are you worried about missing the crash bars that were in the factory doors?

We may have a problem with the oil line install... I have a handful of 90 degree fittings and then the hose, but my super hose would have accepted the bends and not kinked...

Will post foto tomorro...

May have to buy more hose and hose ends to make this right. Damn

Have you found that thread?

I just need to know which two wires to connect with a 3.3 ohm resistor? If you could remember just that, or slide your phone under your seat to snap a picture, it would be most appreciated!

My plan is to just cut and splice the wires with a resistor.

Seams to me it should be easy to trick the module into thinking there is always a passenger?

no, didn't figure it out other than to keep the PPS from the passenger seat in place. I believe the problem with tricking the PPS light to turn off is that it isn't a resistance based light like the others. I believe it requires a tiny bit of voltage through it.

yeah thats right I forgot. Well I sold my seats like you with the sensor in them. So I will wait to find a cts in the junk yard I guess. Or try and figure it out. Even if you jump the wire and give max voltage for a 400 pounder in the passenger seat it should work no? I have no idea I havent tested or done zip yet.

Ya i kept the passenger seat kismo so when they sit in it it works.

The airbags are the only cheat i did.

If you have access to the wiring documents you can find out the cheat for the passenger pressure

Ebay has plenty of cts parts.
