So is the "OEM" throttle cable Pelican sells just crap? Or am I doing something wrong? Is the Terry cable worth twice the price?

This is the third cable I've had to replace in less than a year ... seems to be kinking somewhere between the pedal and the firewall even though I made 110% sure its not binding on the clutch cable.


Now my car is carbed and you have to pump the pedal for a minute or two when starting it cold, so maybe I'm just putting the cable through too much stress.



Anyone make a fly by wire system for a carbed 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I know of a couple of daily driven 914s that have NEVER had the throttle cable replaced, and a number of others that have 15-20 years on theirs. Your problem might be installer error, no offense meant ....................
