New Product Update: '05 Throttle Cable

 Over the years, sticky throttle cables have become an issue. A client's car came to us with throttle cable problems. His throttle action was very stiff as his cable was beginning to fail.  We called our transCABLEs supplier to see if they could help us.  Lucky for us, this is a specialty of theirs!  We sent them the faulty cable and they quickly sent us a prototype.

The prototype on this car will be tested to confirm but we anticipate being able to offer a much more durable solution with less back lash for improved action. The picture is the stock cable.

I posted a video on our IG showing the amount of backlash in the stock cable.  Watch it: HERE

We pulled another cable from our latest 111RS build to compare with the first one that we built the prototype from.  It appears to be the same but we will send this over to our manufacturer to confirm.


The action of the proto was excellent - so much so that I need one for my car!  It is much smoother that what is on our latest 111RS003 and the ArtCar2.  

Our client who has been running the proto has been very happy.  

Hi Shinoo,

I drove a good amount this weekend. The pedal feels so much better than before. I am still getting used to it, but the responsiveness and modulation of the pedal significantly improved....Overall, the car is more responsive and even feels faster than before. I am really happy with the product so far.

His accelerator pedal had been modified by a previous owner so we are checking another cable to make sure.  Double checking dimensions is critical when you reverse engineer a product that may have been previusly modified.  We will continue to monitor this proto cable.
