Don't forget to tighten your throttle cables!

I this is one of the most overlooked maintenance things to do but it makes such a big difference! I recently tightened my throttle cable for the first time in my car's 170k life and it feels like It gained atleast 10th. This only takes 5 min and all you have to do is mess with 2 bolts. I recommend anyone with a high mileage cAr to do this and see how it feels! Throttle response is greatly improved!

It used to be a good mod for those 95-01 VQ's. Now we have the LRMAF, the expensive ... orrr rather cheap version of the 02+SB.

I remember it so clearly now ... oh yeah, that's me in there.

LOL! The thought was right at my fingertips, but nismopc beat us all to the punch.

Classify this mod as The Poor Man's Sprint Booster... Free the Whales!
