I loosen the two 10mm nut on the throttle cable and adjust the throttle cable as tight as possible without affecting the idle and all I can say is . No more free play and throttle response was great\instant. Free mod and faster throttle response =

 

Nice! I've been thinking about doing the same on my car too.

 

I recommend you doing it and testing it out. Quick 5 minute free mod

 

that slack is there for a reason, so you dont snap the cable when you floor it..

 

I seriously think the pedal response on my Evo is "too sensitive". Sometimes I have to let off the pedal when driving over some uneven road cause my car jerks if I let it rest on the pedal.

 

Exactly what I was thinking I even have to press the clutch because the car jerks and jerks and jerks ...
Sometimes I look in the rear view because people probably think "this idiot can't drive manual"

 

nice job

 

hahahahaha...glad to know this is somewhat normal.

 

Thanks but never heard of snapping a cable by flooring. must be cheap if that should ever happen

 

Happens to me too. I thought it was bad spark plug

 

I totally agree with you guys.

 

the throttle cable is steel cable, its strong as hell. it wont snap from foot pressure.

 

I'm curious as to why all the slack is left in the cable... I hightly doubt you'll break the cable. It's made so that you can't tighten it to the point of it possibly breaking from too much gas pedal.

 

I believe the slack is there to prevent you from rear ending another car by accidently tapping on the gas pedal lightly.

I like it now that the slack is gone

 

hmmm, i want to try!
