its not that great a mod, doesnt really do anything, just feels like it does because the gas pedal will react sooner

Don't waste your time with it, the mod that I would suggest though is shaving the ULEV sticker on the drivers side window....apparently some on the board here claim atleast 20 horsies!!!

Don't forget the 5 additional ponies you can get by replacing the ULEV sticker with a 2k1civic.com sticker!

Just find the cable connected to the rear of the throttle body. Push on the round gold colored thing and you will quickly identify the throttle cable. Now, loosen the nut on the driver's side of the cable. Lift the cable out of the little bracket. Then, give the nut on the left or passenger side of the cable and few spins, put back into bracket and tighten up the drivers nut snug. Check to see how much slack you took out of the cable.

I think it is worth while to do it. The cable has so much slack stock and I definately noticed that when I first got the car. It just makes the pedal and little more sensitive and adds about 50 hp.

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Listen man all it does is make your throttle more sensitive. I did it on mine and love it. Others hate it, its your desision but once you do it, it is very hard to get it back in the same place....


Peace
