I had a sticky throttle cable and some carb cleaner made it good as new. probably not recommended but it worked for me

QUOTE (HaysoosKreesto @ Nov 23, 2014 - 10:11 AM)  I had a sticky throttle cable and some carb cleaner made it good as new. probably not recommended but it worked for me I'm guessing mine was bad since I sprayed wd40 into the cable and still nothing. That's why I ended up replacing it and this new one is super smooth. -------------------- |

Woo! So does it have the 160 hp or so now? I can't remember the exact numbers, but I had looked at the 4th gen GT-S before since it already has a 3S-GE and they're pretty cheap.

Resident 4th Gener here......thanks for saving it. When cleaned up properly they can be a beautiful representative of the 80's. If I could I'd own 4th 5th and 6th gens...love them all.

Sorry for the late update but the car is all smogged and tuned and errythang. Only last thing I want to do is upgrade the exhaust piping to 2.25". Also my clutch slave cylinder took a **** and I tried replacing it but I ended up crossthreading the hyd line......so I'ma have to attempt to rethread it with a die.

Nice save, love those cars the more I see them the more they grow on me. Would love to see a tastefully modded progress thread of this car. Were these rwd at one point? I remember checking out a rwd 86? i think celi on craigslist.
