Default throttle cable?

Just go a new BBK 58mm and my throttle cable is a little lose and the cruse is too short. when i push me peddle WOT the TB will not open all the way, just needs a little more. The Cruse is also a bit shorter and will not alow it to shut all the way.

Is there a any way to adjust the cables?

You could pull the slack through the little black plastic clip that holds the cable to the accelerator pedal and add another wire clamp. Same goes for the black plastic clip that's at the end of the CC wire where it snaps onto the TB.

Where can you buy those clips, mine is snapped like a coke can. I have never even seen where the cable connects to the pedal.

Do you have ASR on that thing? I can't remember if 96's had it or not

It should fit without modification. Is your cable bracket on the intake bent? The cruise cable has an adjuster built in the middle of it if needed.

Not bent. The cable could have been loose with my old 52mm, I just never noticed. But with the 58mm the cruise is really tight and made me check the throttle when pushing the pedal.
