[s-cars] wastegate screw

[A Ma]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

After taking up the slack in the throttle cable, please don't forget to adjust
the stop at the bottom of the accelerator pedal up to make up for the lessened
travel. The last thing you want to do is bend / break something at WOT.

You want to have your pedal hit the stop >just< before the cable ends up
stopping the pedal.
