Do you have/ use cruise control

[kickflipjr]

My car has cruise control but i rarely use it. There are roller hills on the freeway when i live (~100ft) and the cruise dosen't seem to work well in this enviroment.

I would use it if I had miles of flat/ semi-flat highway.

I will be joining the world of Cruise Control sometime soon. My car did not come with it installed, but I'm planning on putting it in in a little while here.

Mine did not come with it, but I am trying to install what is more appropriately called a throttle control. All I want is something to hold throttle position, not maintain speed. I bought a cruise control servo motor on ebay but have not figured out to connect to the throttle. Once that is done I just need to apply current to the servo clutch solenoid and it will lock the throttle position in place. The wiring will also have to include the clutch and brake switches so that the throttle will be released when braking or pressing the clutch pedal.

Something I will get around to some day I guess. No hurry right now.

On my car the cruise control actuator attaches to the gas pedal. Newer cars attach directly to the throttle cable, which seems to make much more sense to me.

Just food for thought.

You could get the wheel on the tb from an auto, swap it, and hook up a cable to the kickdown cable connection and hook that up to a switch. Switch it on and clamp the throttle wheel in position.

you know what? THat's a great idea. It would be much better than swapping peddle assemblies and drilling a hole in my firewall. Maybe I'll go get a EX throttle wheel right now.

Yeah that seems like it would work. That way the car dosent have to struggle to mantain 65 on an up grade.

I have the wheel off the dx tb, I will test fit it on the z6 and if iut works send it out.

I just took a look at the EX TB wheel and I didn't get it. It spins the opposite direction and can't be used for cruise control.

Lemme look at mine and see.
