Default Help me convert my ricer friend

A good friend of mine keeps leaning toward the ricer in him despite my help. He keeps losing to his brother with an identical car , they both drive a '96 EX Coupe with IHE. I think that the crappy neon pedals that I begged him not to get are preventing him from reaching wide open throttle. That leads me to the question.

What is the voltage reading for W.O.T. on the throttle position sensor. Maybe I can use this info to convince him take that crap off of his car.

Don't know but I could use some help too...my friend just got not one but two sunroofs installed on his car as well as about 12 wire-mesh vents on each front fender.

I may end up lying and telling him whatever voltage we see is not W.O.T. Damn I'm a good friend, I'd lie and cheat just to un-rice his car. Don't get me wrong, he's moving in the right direction, but he still has a way to go.

Also, two sunroofs? WTF how do you even do that.

Actually....ah hem....

I think those red indiglo pedals look quite nice, with those red indiglo itr titanium shift ****, red indiglo reverse gauges....

I'm sorry, did I just say that out loud? lol

Anyways, personally, i think they look nice, but I always tell my ricer friends this:

"Show is for other people pleasure that is short lived, but Go is all for you. The adrenaline rush."

Here's what my roommate said about rice:

"Show style and fad comes and goes, but speed never goes out of style."

Guys -

I'll try and get pics of the sunroofs...they're not electric ones they're just the kind you pop and prop up with a latch

The vents on the front fenders are just....sad
