FWIW, I have been told (but don't know for sure) that the Pantera 
resistance wire actually has a simple resistor stuck into an ordinary length of wire. 
  If you look hard enough you should be able to find and remove it.

My Mustang actually has a resistor wire--the wire itself acts as a 
resistor, and must be replaced if you need to do away with the resistance feature.
