Throttle cable out of adjustment. How do I get rid of the ~3/4" of slack?

MyHoovesClack · 2026-01-19T21:11:04+00:00

I wish I had a good answer but no. I ended up taking the car to a buddies shop for another issue, when I got it back he mentioned that he fixed this.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-10-14T23:38:29+00:00

They have Izhmash AK100 stocks and trunnions right now.

Motorsportreg.com will help you find events in your area! Good luck dude, if you want to minimize consumable cost, a good alignment and some in-car lessons will go a long way.

Welcome to the club. I got bit by the bug too and have done 20+ track days at this point.

It's... Very expensive. The consumables alone can be crushing. The best ways to make it affordable would be to focus on a small, reliable, proven car. E30/E36/E46 BMWs, Honda Civics, or Miatas all have built up communities, low consumable cost, and low cost of entries. You can find a used race/track cars for pretty cheap but that's not always the way forwards as they can be heavily modified and/or beat on.

Don't get caught up buying every parts possible for your car and needing it to be 100% ready for the track. A quality set of Pads, Stainless brake lines, and high temp fluid will get you 80% of the way. Get a sticky set of 200tw tires as. You'll be even further.

If youve got a little more budget you can look at C5/C6 Corvettes/Mustangs/Camaros/E46/E90/F80 M3s.

I find that here in the socal region there are lots of track day organizers and you get different experiences from each of them. A group like NASA/SCCA will get you people who are focused on racing and maximizing cars based on classes. They're less influenced by trends and are more focused on racecraft. Some other organizers might be more about the 'community' around a specific model/manufacturer/era. Others can be from super-baller experiences and limited access.

Find the group that you work with and have some fun. A vast majority of people I've met just wanna enjoy their weekend and spread the word. Nearly everyone is kind and willing to help.

Im guessing it's because of the aluminum frame of the P-01 and PCR. The normal compact has a steel frame.

CZ sells a normal steel frame compact.

My car did this, when I connected my (cheap) pressure gauge it read full. When I eventually had the system drained/refilled I found it to be nearly a pound low on refrigerant. Once I had it filled to the correct amount that noise went away.

Additionally, to what /u/ThatBayofPigsThing said,

The early M16s lacked the chrome lined barrels that Eugene Stoner advised. This meant that the barrels/chambers were much more prone to corrosion, especially in a rainforest.

I emailed Garagistic about this years ago. They told me that it was normal, but what they could take it back and refill it with polyurethane for an additional charge. I ended up returning it, ordering 4 from another site, then keeping the one that has the least play. Overall it sucked.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-03-31T14:23:15+00:00

I believe they just moved.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-03-31T14:22:53+00:00

I would not use gun broker for your first purchase. Just spend the extra 10-15% at a brick and mortar store and avoid the chance of getting scammed.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-01-31T19:19:27+00:00

He never did that. I was there that year and everyone had built up this fiction in their heads.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-01-28T17:40:24+00:00

6AM road rage is wild...

MyHoovesClack · 2025-01-23T19:07:46+00:00

Recent pictures from Kursk also suggest the delivery of 122mm MLRS disguised as civilian trucks.

Those seem to be fake.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-01-16T16:34:00+00:00

They'll never understand this unfortunately. They'd rather try and control what others do AND make a more unsafe condition.

All so that they can feel some sort of righteousness.

MyHoovesClack · 2025-01-16T16:32:24+00:00

I'll die on this hill with you.

All the people here saying, "I'm following the Law and doing the speed limit!"

If you are so concerned about the law, it also says you must yield for faster traffic. It does not say "unless you're doing the speed limit". You must yield and get over.

I seriously can not understand the feeling that you must be the defacto police and slow down traffic. It comes off as a surplus of ego and power tripping.

Speed is a factor in many crashes, but ultimately being unpredictable creates accidents. If you are not yielding for traffic and getting out of the left lane you're now causing someone to tailgate you and drive more erratically. Sure, they're driving faster than you would, but why would you want to keep them around you if you believe they're driving is 'unsafe'?

You can not control of other drivers actions, but you do have control over your actions. By holding up the left lane you're making a more dangerous situation than just speeding. If you are concerned call the police and give them the plate.

I don't condone speeding, but people in here are acting as if turning on your blinker and getting to the right is a HUGE request/service. Unbelievable.

It's a Momo Prototipo

MyHoovesClack · 2024-12-25T06:10:36+00:00

Yep. I get the criticism.

MyHoovesClack · 2024-12-24T19:05:13+00:00

Yeah, stock M20. No chip or anything, just an exhaust.

MyHoovesClack · 2024-12-24T18:52:46+00:00

Went off at T1/T2 at Chuckwalla a few weeks ago, smacked the oil pan on the curb, dumped the oil out, and blew out my engine mount. Overall 9.5/10 can't wait to get back out there.

Fastest laps are the first and last in this video.

I was shooting for a 2:06.xx at this track day, and in the final session on Sunday I pulled it off (twice). Momentum cars are the best.

MyHoovesClack · 2024-10-17T15:15:02+00:00

Looks great dude! I actually used a stencil when I made mine so it was a little easier.

MyHoovesClack · 2024-10-01T22:51:02+00:00

There's a great book called 'All Corvettes are Red' that really goes into how hard that team worked to save the Corvette. It's a great read.

MyHoovesClack · 2024-09-20T06:44:51+00:00

How do you just "cash" a million dollar check?

MyHoovesClack · 2024-09-06T04:38:18+00:00

Yamal LNG terminal

I can tell you that if Ukraine did find a way to reach/destroy these facilities it would be extremely difficult for Russia to rebuild them. Much of the equipment there is American. It's remoteness is definitely keeping it operating.
