Balls/Dedication… > **[Great Moments in Motorsports: Adventures in throttle cable replacement](https://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/13/great-moments-in-motorsports-adventures-in-throttle-cable-repla/)** > > Click above to view the video ![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/3028546248_5ea5d65a15_o_450op.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/3028546248_5ea5d65a15_o_450op.jpg) rom our friends at the Axis of Oversteer comes a story of determination, fortitude, and a healthy dose of Darwinian law. With less than a mile left in a stage of the Ralley de Serrians in France, the throttle cable in our hero’s Renault finally gives up the ghost. Does he give up? No! Does the team try to push their way to the finish? Hell no! The driver tells his co-pilot to man the wheel while he hops into the engine bay, pulls the hood over himself and then manually controls the throttle cable bracket to a heroic finish. The picture above speaks for itself, but the video after the jump tells the whole tale. ---

That is balls over brains! Why not tire all your shoe strings together and just pull it from the window, or possibly use a long vacuum line or drain line, I think I would rip my shirt into long shreds tie them together and close the hood before I rode in the engine bay. The fact that he can fit in the bay with the hood that closed tells me they don’t have a large enough engine in that car. 🙂 ---

You may be able to buy a mexican child to do this for less than some replacement throttle cables cost, not a bad idea. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-am-all-that-is-man/58153.md?page=2)
