[QUOTE="DeSudet, post: 1302632, member: 88119"] Wondered where this thread went... I tried the unwind on my '13 just a little while ago (2 weeks? 1? I forget) and had all sorts of fun with it. First, the Gen IIIs have the throttle assembly on the right side of the engine (as opposed to the middle seen in all the photos for the mod). I popped the hook off the tang and the spring never even came close to the tang, even at WOT. I used some thread from inside a piece of paracord I had lying around to get the turn back on the spring. No change that I noticed between before I started and putting that turn back on the spring. Not sure if anyone else has reported this on a Gen III, but it looks like this mod has been made obsolete and we're stuck with whatever tension is there from the factory. Unless someone is feeling ambitious and wants to cut down the stock spring to fit. Don't look at me, I'm not that brave. [/QUOTE]
