I was inspired by this post:

Having had several cars which were decades newer than the DeLorean, I could never get used to the heavier throttle that comes from having a ~10 ft long cable with four springs. Dennis's modification works as advertised. The car is much more comfortable to drive after removing the uppermost spring from the throttle spool. Less tension on the cable also means less wear over time.
