Mobikrog 10.04.2005 56k take a break (+ VIDEO!)

[ZaX]

I managed to break my car on mobikrog drift day.
I was using throttle a lot, and one moment my gas pedal went down and didn't come back keeping the rpm needle on 8k rpm!
I thought, dang, there goes my throtle cable. I shut down ignition on the hot car , lifted the hood and the throtle cable was still functional.
I somehow managed to break the shaft that goes through the throtle body!!!!
Here's an old pic of the shaft.

It broke in 2 parts near the one of the bolts.

So all i had was idle rpm in a midlle of a wet driftday.

So i needed to stick my throtlle linkage to the thortlle body, so i used elastic rope.


My TPS is messed, so is idle, but who cares. I managed to drift the rest of the day with that "setup".
In fact i'm still driving today with this, just too lazy to fix it.
