hey every1.. i have a s2000 service manual CD being shipped to me.. how do i tighten the throttle cable? will it show it in the manual?

 

it might show you how to adjust it but not tighten it up specifically to increase response. this is how i do it on my cars.

-locate the throttle cable and bracket.
-there should be two nuts holding the cable to the bracket
-loosen one of the nuts and once u can pull the cable out once you're able to
-adjust the nut closest to the throttlebody until the cable is tight, but not pulling the tb open (leave a LITTLE slack on it). i usually hold the throttle arm closed while i do this.
-once you get the first nut where u want it... tighten the other check to see if it sticks or stays open a lil at idle.

-Gut your trunk for 42 pounds of weight saving
-Empty windshield washer reservoir for 8 lbs of weight saving
-Remove visors and floor mats for another 7 lbs of weight saving
-Remove front and rear bumper supports (must take of bumper covers to do this) for another 25-30 lbs of weight saving

-This equals 80-85 lbs of weight saving in your car. Also, only ride around with 1/3 of gas around at a time, for another ~60 lbs or so of weight saving. This will be very very noticeable in your acceleration, cornering, and stopping distance.

-Also, loosen throttle cable slack like everyone has mentioned.

 

Holy double-posting Batman!

 

Buy a S2KI membership.!!!

 

a test pipe is probably the best bang for the buck and then comes gears

 

Where can you find this aluminum air redirector?

 

also clean out the throttle body with intake cleaner.

 

I used a dremel and some silicone to block off the resonator
