Link up the video grabbem! So guys here's another free mod that'll probably add a tenth or so depending on how bad your throttle is being beat on.

that link is deceptfull.

the fox body is not an 10 minute fix, me having the right tools, time and strength to work with 2 inches of room cost me 3.5 hours of pure torture AND pain ![:'(]

I used a piece of 1.4 inch fule line hose and 1/4 in clamp, I used a 1/4 inch swivel socket 8mm on the clamp and LONG 1/4 in extension, your hand is gonna be in your way 2 [:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]


When I got out the car, i fell , couldnt stand up for 15 minutes

Dude you did the same exact **** that I did!!!! I had been ****ing trying to space the cable for two god damned days and finally I said **** it and I think Samseed reccomended that I bend the pedal bracketry upwards and it worked. It was amazing. like 3-5 god damned minutes and I had it fixed.
