In my never-ending (yet pointless) quest to replace everything possible with its stainless steel equivalent, I have replaced my (perfectly good) accelerator return spring with one made of stainless steel.
While there has not been a noticeable trend of rusty accelerator return springs that I am aware of, should there be, I will be prepared.
While I am keenly aware that it will not improve acceleration, improve gas mileage or make me look better in a swimsuit, it will be the envy of all of my easily impressed, (yet entirely imaginary) Early Bay driver friends.
And if this turns out to be my stupidest idea yet, I can reinstall the stock spring. It’s in the ashtray.
