Just a friendly reminder..
..for new owners or old, to tighten that throttle cable. I've had my MY03 for about 4months and was checking my oil levels one day and noticed the SLACK on the throttle cable..
5 mins later.. car feels so much better. Throttle is how it should have came.
For those that don't know how to do it, all you need is a 12mm wrench and 5mins. Loosen both nuts that hold the cable in place and pull the cable towards the rear of the car just a bit. I'd guestimate about half an inch back? Just enough so the cable is pretty tight, then tighten both nuts back up. Enjoy
Question: Why is it so loose to start with?

AP1...good tip, but remember guys test your throttle cable to make sure it NEEDS to be tightened. You should have about 1/2 of play in it. It shoulldn't be tight. Too tight of a cable can cause problems as well
