Yeah, do that because it's absolutely impossible to string a second throttle cable next to the first one, zip tie to original and have it ready just to swap ends when the bad thing happens, nope can't do that, nobody has ever even thought of that, so only thing to do is loose insane amouts of time playing with shoe laces.

I like that idea. Other option is to rig up the cruise control and put the buttons on the navvie side...and disable the "brake/kill" feature! Dave |

are you insinuating actually having real spare parts aboard said vehicle? Zipties and duct tape is more betterer then any OEM part. Robert and Jim told me about people mounting them on the underside of the hood, thats what I was going to aim for in the future. |

Yeah, dat's exactly what I'm incinerating. and if somebody was smrat, they'd rubber band on sumpin to keep the slime and sand off the ends.. Pop off a plastic bal, swap ends in oh a minute and be on your way.. But it CAN'T BE DONE!!!!!!! or somebody woulda in the last 25 years. so meh.

And that girl, co-driven by a girl, was in her 4th rally ever, in a production spec fiesta, and also greatly improved her speed factor over the last race.

It had about as much to do with me as it had to do with you - maybe more. I've co-driven that girl in that car and the co-driver in this case is a good friend and I've seen an absolute TON (pun intended) of improvement in her driving in the past 10 months or so. In the end, I wasn't nit-picking, just commenting as well.
