throttle cable update :: final

Yep , youve guessed it ! The cable has now been fixed, not by a FIAT part which is on back order , but by a tip from a Fiat Coupe guru on the coupe forum using a universal type. Check out the info at Throttle Cable Fix Page
The new cable also means the pedal is higher and has more feel to it. Result!

Gratuitous new stereo pic ....
I plan to put the apexi just below it



Re : Hire Car :: Toyota Yaris
First off , let me say this is a superb car! Jumping straight back into the coupe I noted a few things....

  • Coupe has great heavy and communicative steering

  • The brakes on my 20VT are cr*p , too much pedal play and no feel....

  • Gearchange is poor , too long a throw .....

  • Just how low and sexy the coupe really is :-)


Ok , so Im biased but it does highlight a few things I could do to improve things. namely a shortshift kit and replace the brakes / bleed system. The previous owner had a flexible pipe replaced for an MOT , so I suspect air has been introduced into the system......
