Throttle Cable Adjustment Help!!!

I want to do the throttle cable adjustment mod from the DYI but i am wondering where is that located at and if there is an easier way of explaining how to do it, if any one could help that would be great.

Its a bit hard if you still have your stock airbox etc.

kinda pointless, i did it just to adjust it like a teensy bit, but i'd have to take a pic to show you where exactly it is, maybe i'll do it tomorrow (to dark now)

dont do it, if you do it theres a possibility for the nut to come loose agian and ur throttle cable might pinch agienst the fire wall and ur car will be stuck in full throttle and there will be nothing you can do about it. ITs pointletss u get no more "pick up" and risk it coming loose and screwing u over

uhmmm i dont think that can happen. it just makes the throttle more touchy. not a possible way the cable will pinch against the firewall.

I did it about 4 months ago and haven't had any problems. It makes a huge difference, especially if you don't like having almost a half second delay in your throttle response. I wouldn't have it any other way.
